The last one came on MNF against reigning Super Bowl Champions, LA Rams. However, while Mahomes has taken the QB top spot in the league, there is a lot of debate for the number two position.

It’s going back to that quarterback fight. I look at it like Manning and Brady.

Boyd and Tee Higgins have been filling the void of Ja’Marr Chase for the Bengals and look to carry this form into the Chiefs game.
