There are few true rivalries in the NFL anymore - Bengals-Chiefs is certainly one of them.

Since the 2021 season, these two teams have played each other every season, including twice in the playoffs, and each game has been decided by one score. 

The Chiefs have won the last two matchups, including the 2022-23 AFC Championship Game that led to their second Super Bowl win in the Patrick Mahomes era following the Bengals referring to Arrowhead stadium as "Burrowhead." And while that was two seasons ago, the war of words between the two teams is far from over.

Bengals cornerback Cam-Taylor Britt was asked what Xavier Worthy brings to the Chiefs' offense, to which he gave a backhanded reply.

"Speed, that's about it," Taylor-Britt said. "He can run straight. Run jet sweeps and just run straight. He can't do much else, that's about it."

Worthy is coming off his debut in which he scored two touchdowns. We'll see if he can make Taylor-Britt eat his words this Sunday.
