Burrow is 3-1 against the Chiefs, throwing nine touchdown passes and averaging 293.75 yards per game across those four games. Along with Tom Brady, he's also the only quarterback to knock Mahomes out of the playoffs. But the Bengals' performance in last weekend's humiliating 16-10 defeat to the Patriots was so awful, it's plunged Zac Taylor into a genuine Week 2 crisis.

Even after winning three of the past four Super Bowls, many Chiefs fans would have been aghast at their early season schedule, but given the way Mahomes went about dicing up the Ravens – without really ever connecting with Travis Kelce, it must be said – they needn't have worried. Xavier Worthy came up with two touchdowns on debut, Rashee Rice caught seven passes for 103 yards, and the Bengals are staring down the barrel of a 0-2 start.
