There might not be an award for coolness in the NFL, but if there was, the Cincinnati Bengals would likely be the unanimous winner.
Between Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase, along with many other members of the team, the Bengals have a coolness and confidence about them that is simply unmatched.
Ahead of Sunday’s AFC Championship, Chase came out with yet another legendary quote.
Back-to-back AFC Champions? 🐅

Just one year ago, the Cincinnati Bengals traveled to Kansas City, taking down the Chiefs in the AFC Championship.
On Sunday, they will have yet another opportunity to take down the Chiefs en route to the Super Bowl.
As Chase puts it, “Why not?”
In their past three meetings, while each game has been extremely close, the Bengals have defeated the Chiefs in each game.
This has been largely in part to the fantastic quarterback-receiver duo of Burrow and Chase, as they have torched the Chiefs’ defense every time.
The AFC is filled with great quarterbacks.
Besides Burrow and Patrick Mahomes, other great quarterbacks include Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Tua Tagovailoa, and Trevor Lawrence.
The AFC is in great hands moving forward, but, to make it to the title game, they will likely have to go through Burrow or Mahomes to do so.
The Chiefs have won their division for seven straight seasons, and, under Burrow, the Bengals look to be a yearly contender as well.
If the Bengals do win this weekend, many might crown Burrow as the king of the AFC, considering he will have beaten Mahomes four straight times, something that no other quarterback can claim.
