Chris Jones and the Kansas City Chiefs might be playing in the Super Bowl, but it doesn’t look like they’ve forgotten who they beat to get there. This isn’t to say that Jones and Co. don’t have their eye on the prize — it’s just that they might enjoy beating some teams — and quarterbacks — more than others.
During a media appearance to start Super Bowl week, Chris Jones was asked which current NFL QB he likes to sack the most. Was it anyone in the AFC West, you know, a division rival? Might it have been someone like the Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen?
Dearest Reader, you’re thinking of the wrong great QB. And that’s OK. I don’t blame you.
It’s the Cincinnati Bengals’ Joe Burrow. Of course it’s Joe Burrow.

After the Chiefs dispatched Cincinnati in the AFC title game, they won’t have to think about them for a while. But it’s answers like this from Jones that make me believe this heavyweight conference rivalry is only just getting heated up.
NFL fans enjoyed the Chiefs-Bengals rivalry implications after hearing Jones' answer

I think the Chiefs might actually hate the Bengals even more than their own division rivals lmao https://t.co/yuHGabFoAK

It's cute how we're the only real rivals to the chiefs https://t.co/alXqB8I16Y

when you've only sacked one QB in the postseason your options are a bit limited https://t.co/dcZLMiB1H8

I take Chris Jones talking about Joe Burrow during Super Bowl week as a compliment. He finally got the playoff sack on 9 vs. an injured OL.
