Like Patrick Mahomes' father, Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Khalen Saunders was still talking smack about the Cincinnati Bengals after Super Bowl 57.
Saunders had a number of tweets about the Bengals after the Chiefs won last month's AFC championship rematch. But on Sunday night, he referred to them as the "funky-ass Bengals" as he suggested - per KSHB's Aaron Ladd - that many doubted Kansas City.
"Man, I remember being doubted," Saunders said. "I remember being doubted every game. I remember being picked against every game. I remember them saying the funky-ass Bengals was gonna beat us four times. I remember them saying we couldn't stop Jalen Hurts. I remember all of that s---. And now, they're gonna remember that I'm a two-time champ."
Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce also talked after the game about how the underdog mentality fired up their team.
Video via Twitter from Ladd:
The Chiefs are expected to play at home in the 2023 NFL kickoff game. Their opponent on Sept. 7 - to be announced at a later date - could be the Bengals.
