After suffering a torn ligament in his right wrist, Burrow missed the last seven games this past season as the Bengals finished with a 9-8 record. However, with Burrow expecting to return with new reinforcements, the former LSU star believes they will have the upper hand over the Chiefs this season.
The Bengals’ acquisitions include former Chiefs offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. Cincinnati also brought in Trent Brown, giving them two of the biggest tackles in the NFL to surround Burrow.
Additionally, the Bengals sent Joe Mixon to the Houston Texans, opening up cap space to acquire Sheldon Rankins for their defense. They also added the safety duo of Von Bell and Geno Stone.
Their last meeting came on New Year’s Eve when the Chiefs bested a Burrow-less Bengals squad, 25-17, on their way to the playoffs. While the schedule is yet to be released, the Bengals will play Kansas City on the road again in 2024.
