The Kansas City Chiefs will return to the Super Bowl.
The Chiefs won the AFC Championship Game 23-20 on Sunday, beating the Cincinnati Bengals for the first time in four games.
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce couldn’t wait to fix that after they put up with the trash talking before the game.
“Burrowhead my ass, it’s Mahomes’ house,” Kelce said in a CBS postgame interview Between quarterback Patrick Mahomes and sideline analyst Tracy Wolfson.
Kelce also had some words for Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval, who said in a video this week that city officials asked Burrow to take a paternity test after three wins to see if he was Mahomes’ father.

“Know your part and shut your mouth, you jabroni,” Kelce repeated one of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s famous wrestling chants to Pureval during the AFC Championship Trophy presentation after the match.
After Kelce’s comments, Pureval quickly confronted the music, writing on social media: “Yeah. Served it right.”
Bengals fans refer to Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Chiefs, as “Burrowhead Stadium,” a reference to Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s three previous wins over the Chiefs.
Pureval later retracted his comments on the video, tweeting: “Bangladesh lol. I hear you. I am struck by my competitiveness and love of cincy. My bathroom stay hungry and humble. See you Sunday. Who Dee Baby!

Mahomes, who suffered a right ankle injury, went down for the first time late in the fourth quarter as kicker Harrison Butek made a 45-yard field goal to help Kansas City beat Cincinnati.
Mahomes was kicked out of bounds by Bengals guard Joseph Ossai, giving the Chiefs a personal foul free throw that allowed Butker to score with 3 seconds left.
The Chiefs will play the Philadelphia Eagles on February 2. 12 in Glendale, Arizona, looking to win their second Super Bowl in four years. Meanwhile, the Tigers’ two-straight Super Bowl drive failed to materialize.
