[ad_1]

Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval will not flinch Kansas City Chiefs once again.

New Year’s Eve, and Cincinnati Bengals Will make the trip to Arrowhead Stadium for a rematch of the 2022 AFC Championship Game, and NFL announced Wed. As part of the announcement, the Bengals’ offensive tackle and former head coach stepped in Orlando Brown Jr Ensure that Pureval never engages in trash talk again.

“The Bengals play The Chiefs Week 17,” Pureval said in a video the Bengals posted to Twitter. “And I have nothing else to add.”

Brown replied, “Cut anand.”

“How was that?” Borival asked.

Brown replied, “Yeah, I think it was better than last time.”

It was the ‘last time’ when Borival declared the AFC Championship match was ‘They should play us today’. While the name sounded innocuous, the minute-long video that Pureval made for the advertisement wasn’t. Cincinnati’s mayor took multiple hits Patrick Mahomes And the bosses, they even say so Joe Burrow Officials asked for a paternity test to confirm whether or not it was him [Mahomes’] dad.”

Prior to the Chiefs’ 23-20 victory in the AFC title game, Burrow had won all three previous encounters against Mahomes and the Chiefs, including the 2021 AFC Championship game. Burrow’s success against the Chiefs led the mayor of Cincinnati and even some players on the Bengals to call Arrowhead Stadium “Burrowhead” due to the QB’s success against them.

But the Chiefs got the last laugh in that game, and made sure to hit back on Pureval.

During a post-game interview featuring Mahomes, the star was tight end Travis Kelsey He interrupted him and said, “The hole in my ass head.”

Later on, Kelsey called Pureval directly.

“I have some words of wisdom for the mayor of Cincinnati: Know your part and shut your mouth, you gabroni,” Kelsey said during the Presidents’ Trophy presentation.

The Browns also got into the mix after the Chiefs game win.

“One of the greatest,” Brown said of Mahomes, interrupting the quarterback’s postgame interview. “Give them his respect. Seal them.”

Borivale ate his words after the match.

“Yes. Well deserved,” Borival wrote in a tweet congratulating the president on their victory.
