The NFL has been dominated by the Kansas City Chiefs in recent memory, and Ja’Marr Chase is known as one of the biggest Chiefs haters in the league, and rightfully so. The Cincinnati Bengals have been the only team to take Patrick Mahomes down in the post season besides for a retired man.
The beef between the two teams has only been getting stronger as now each of them have beaten each other to get to the Super Bowl in the last few seasons. This is quickly becoming the best rivalry in the NFL, and Chase fanned the flames with all his might in the new viral video of him not even saying Mahomes’ name.
Ja’Marr Chase Refuses To Even Say Patrick Mahomes’ Name
When these two teams face off it is instant classic as all of their games, especially the post season games, have been unbelievable battles with so much outrageous talent on the field. These teams will play at least once in this upcoming year, and now fans are praying for a second time in the playoffs.
The matchup is set for Week 2 of this season. On Wednesday, the league released a video clip from this year’s Top 100 special, where Chase is asked about Mahomes and where he thinks the quarterback landed on the list.
Chase had plenty of bombs to drop with the craziest of them being that he refused to even say the mans name!
“I’m not saying him,” Chase said, when asked who the No. 1 player on the 2024 Top 100 list is.
“I give credit where it’s due but I’m not saying his name. I’m not saying his name, brother, sorry.”

Chase shouted out his own quarterback Joe Burrow, as the man who should be number 1 in the league, but the interviewer kept pushing Chase about Mahomes:
“He’s good, He’s amazing. He’s got, not gonna lie. I’m salty though. I’m a little Salty. Two Years in a row. I’m Putting Burrow First.”
Chase is obviously always going to go with his quarterback Burrow as they have not only been exceptional together in the league but have been doing this since back in college at LSU where they won a National Title together.
When it comes to the Chiefs, the only team that has gotten closest to them has been the Bengals in the AFC. They probably have the best chances in dethroning the Chiefs this season, while the Houston Texans may also be in the mix.
We will have to wait and see if this sparks a fire for Mahomes and the Chiefs when they will face the Bengals, but something tells me they do not need any extra motivation to come ready to play for that game.
NFL Fans Were Loving The Saltiness From Ja’Marr Chase
Chase is certainly not happy about their past two losses to the Chiefs in the last two seasons, and he has already expressed in the past how much he specifically hates losing to the Chiefs and Mahomes.
Chase has also come to play against them and has been a huge factor in the times that they have beaten the Chiefs. Burrow is 3-1 against Mahomes in the four games they played and that has a lot to do with Chase. Fans were absolutely loving this sound bite, as they miss the bitter rivalries of old like Tom Brady against Ray Lewis.
This has fans super excited for the week 2 matchup and these two teams could be facing off against each other for years to come. Here are some of the funniest fan reactions to the video:
“Not gonna lie. I have mad respect for how much of a Mahomes hater Ja’Marr Chase is lol. Bro moving like Mahomes is Voldemort now,” one fan tweeted.
“How delicious,” another tweet read.
“It cannot be understated how important Ja’Marr Chase is to the future of NFL football. This is the type of rivalry energy us fans need to see!” another tweet read.
We will be waiting for the week 2 matchup between these two teams which will be on September 15 in Kansas City.
