“This staff, man, we play collectively,” Mahomes stated. “I stated it from the start after we have been within the locker room. I stated we received to be collectively, and this staff stepped up towards a terrific soccer staff, and we confirmed this place is Arrowhead, not Burrowhead out right here.”

Throughout the week, even Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval received in on the “Burrowhead” taunting. Kelce shot again following the championship win.

“I received some clever phrases for that Cincinnati mayor. Know your function and shut your mouth, you jabroni,” the tight finish stated in the course of the trophy presentation.
