While fans undoubtedly traded blows online in the aftermath of the Kansas City Chiefs beating the in Cincinnati Bengals Week 17, some of the most important players for each team were at midfield exchanging praise.
Cameras from right after the game ended caught Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce and defensive lineman Chris Jones chatting with Bengals star Joe Burrow.
After that ended, Jones even had big praise for Bengals backup quarterback Jake Browning, who he had just got done squaring off against.
