Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs have ruled the NFL to the tune of three Super Bowl championships over the past five years, so it's no surprise that Cincinnati Bengals signal-caller Joe Burrow recently called them "the gold standard right now."
"They're the gold standard right now," Burrow told ESPN's Ben Baby on Sunday. "They've been to what, six straight AFC championships and four of the last [five] Super Bowls?
"So that's where we want to be."
The Chiefs would have won five straight AFC titles if not for Burrow and the Bengals, who beat the Chiefs in the 2021 AFC Championship.
