“Joe Burrow holds narrow edge over Patrick Mahomes in head-to-head record, despite Week 2 loss in tightly contested games”

Joe Burrow is one of the few NFL quarterbacks with a successful track record against the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes.

That AFC rivalry was rekindled on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium in the fifth head-to-head matchup between the two quarterbacks. Each of the previous four meetings had been decided by exactly three points – and that includes a pair of dramatic AFC championship games. Burrow is the last quarterback to beat Mahomes in the postseason.

However, Mahomes’ Chiefs took down the Bengals 26-25 on Sunday afternoon. Cincinnati fell to an 0-2 start with the loss, as Kansas City created some distance with their new-aged AFC rival and Mahomes notched another head-to-head victory against Burrow.

Here are the numbers, past matchups, and outlook after the next chapter in the Mahomes-Burrow quarterback rivalry.
