Bengals unveiled Week 17 clash with Chiefs by poking fun at Cincinnati mayor’s unsuccessful taunting

The Bengals had a little fun with a schedule reveal at the expense of Cincinnati’s mayor.

New Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. had a little fun with Cincinnati mayor Aftab Pureval while revealing a big NFL game for the upcoming season.

The Bengals will play a hotly anticipated game against the Kansas City Chiefs for Week 17’s New Year’s Eve extravaganza, one of marquee matchups the NFL teased ahead of Thursday’s 2023 schedule reveal.

The Bengals announced the game via Pureval, who just says when the game is and hilariously cuts his message short while Brown filmed it.

The former Chiefs tackle jokes that he thinks this message “was better than the last time,” a friendly jab at Pureval’s cringey taunting video ahead of January’s AFC title game where he basically said Joe Burrow was Patrick Mahomes’ father.

As you’ll recall, the Bengals wound up losing to the Chiefs in that championship game. Kansas City won the Super Bowl, and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce even called out Pureval’s taunting during his post-Super Bowl speech.

While Bengals fans surely appreciate the ardent support from their mayor, they’ll probably caution him doing too much taunting against the reigning Super Bowl champs this season. Good on Pureval for having a sense of humor about the whole thing, though.

Travis Kelce channeled The Rock while calling out Cincinnati’s mayor after beating the Bengals

Can you smell what Travis Kelce is cooking?

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce invoked the Cincinnati mayor and the Beastie Boys during his pro wrestling-ready AFC championship speech.

Kelce, never one to shy away from seizing the moment, called out Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval after he engaged in the strangest trash talking of the 2022-23 NFL playoff season.

Pureval weirdly tried to troll Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes by suggesting Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow take a DNA test to show if he is Mahomes’ father.

Well, that attempt at trolling aged like spoiled chili with the Chiefs taking down the Bengals on Sunday to make it to the Super Bowl, 23-20.

Kelce did not let Cincy’s mayor live his trash talking down and threw in some love for the Beastie Boys along the way.

Well, that’s one way to get the Arrowhead Stadium crowd going.

Kelce has long been one of the NFL’s best personalities, and he seemed ready to jump in the ring and take a folding chair to anyone in a Bengals jersey after this epic trophy speech.

The Chiefs have plenty to be happy about after taking home the AFC crown, and Kelce will undoubtedly work for more opportunities to get hyped up in the weeks to come with a Super Bowl now on the line.

Cincinnati mayor ripped for viral Bengals vs. Chiefs AFC title game trash talk

Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval got in on the Bengals vs. Chiefs trash talk and things got weird.

There was plenty of banter back and forth from both players and fans ahead of the AFC title game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs.

Then things went a little overboard when Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval entered the fray.

In a viral post gone wrong, the mayor threw out the nickname “Burrowhead,” among other questionable things while talking about the rivalry with the Chiefs and the upcoming game.

It didn’t take long for Pureval to apologize once the response was overwhelmingly sour from the state of Ohio and beyond.

Here’s a look at the two messages and the reaction that followed.
