For non-divisional opponents, there aren’t many rivalries that have grown more intense and competitive in the NFL than the Chiefs and Bengals. Between playoff games and the regular season, it’s become a regular matchup with Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes at quarterback. It’s also led to plenty of trash talk between the two teams.
Ja’Marr Chase isn’t going to let an offseason get in the way of that either apparently.
With the Bengals missing the playoffs this season, Chase joined fellow wide receiver Tee Higgins on a live call with SportsCenter. And when the Bengals star was asked for his Super Bowl picks, he decided to get in another shot at the Chiefs.
"Anybody but the Chiefs."

“Anybody but the Chiefs,” Chase said. Higgins took a different approach and chose the Ravens out of the AFC to play either the Cowboys or 49ers.
The Chiefs open their Super Bowl defense on Saturday with a home game against the Dolphins. We know which team Chase will be rooting for.
