Respect from the stars of Kansas City was evident after the Cincinnati Bengals’ loss. Despite the rivalry, several key players from the Kansas City Chiefs greeted and sent well wishes to star quarterback Joe Burrow on the field.

Travis Kelce empathized with Burrow, acknowledging the impact of his season-ending wrist injury suffered in November, stating that it “ripped everybody’s soul out.” This display of empathy underscores the respect Kansas City has consistently shown towards Burrow.


 

Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones also shared a moment with Burrow, expressing that “The game misses you.” Jones further acknowledged Jake Browning as a “f****** warrior” and admitted concern that Browning might lead the Bengals to tie the game.

In the NFL, where rivalries and trash talk are common, Burrow and Browning have earned the respect of their AFC rivals, exemplified by the genuine sentiments from Kelce and Jones.
