Joe Burrow will look to bring his record against Patrick Mahomes to 4-0 this weekend when the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs meet in the AFC Championship game.
After beating Josh Allen’s Buffalo Bills in the divisional round, Joe Burrow clinched the Cincinnati Bengals’ spot in the AFC Championship game for a spot in the Super Bowl.
Throughout Burrow’s career, he has faced Patrick Mahomes three times and is undefeated, including in last year’s AFC Championship game.
If you take away their rookie seasons, Burrow and Mahomes have made it to the AFC Championship game every year of their respective careers and are widely considered the top two quarterbacks in the NFL.
