The Kansas City Chiefs have made their fair share of enemies in the early years of their budding dynasty, but that didn’t keep one of the team’s most bitter rivals from paying respect to the defending champions ahead of Super Bowl LIX.
On Thursday, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow appeared on FS1’s Breakfast Ball to share his thoughts on the upcoming matchup between the Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.
During his appearance, Burrow picked Kansas City to win the Big Game on Sunday and cited the Chiefs’ run defense as the primary advantage for the reigning Super Bowl champions.
Watch this clip of Burrow’s appearance on Breakfast Ball, which was posted to Twitter:

Despite the ongoing rivalry between Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Burrow, the former LSU Tiger clearly has the utmost respect for what Kansas City has accomplished.
Stay tuned to see if Burrow’s prediction will prove to be correct, or if the Chiefs will fall short in their quest to achieve the NFL’s first-ever Super Bowl three-peat.
