After an exhilarating clash at Arrowhead Stadium, the Kansas City Chiefs narrowly defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 26-25, thanks to a dramatic 51-yard field goal by Harrison Butker as time expired.
The Chiefs converted a crucial 4th-and-16 following a pass interference penalty on Bengals rookie cornerback Daijahn Anthony, which put Kansas City in field goal range.
Despite the intense rivalry and competitive nature of their matchups, Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes continue to hold deep respect for each other. Their postgame handshake reflects the mutual admiration between these two elite quarterbacks.
