New Generation’s Manning-Brady: Wolfe Compares Mahomes vs Burrow

Cameron Wolfe’s excitement was fairly visible as he shared his thoughts on the Mahomes vs Burrow rivalry on ‘Good Morning Football’. He enthusiastically said, “I love it. Absolutely, I love it”. Wolfe emphasized the importance of trash talk and highlighted Travis Kelce’s memorable statement, “Burrows had my b*tt”.

Wolfe further remarked, “To me it feels like this generation’s Manning vs Brady.” He reminded everyone of the Bengals’ success against the Chiefs, stating, “Last year Bengals had won three straight times against the Chief in less than a calendar year.” However, he acknowledged that the Chiefs got their redemption in the AFC championship rematch, where Mahomes delivered a remarkable performance.

Wolfe described how Mahomes excelled with 326 passing yards and two touchdowns, along with a crucial rushing play that led the Kansas City Chiefs to a game-winning field goal. In contrast, Burrow faced challenges, throwing two interceptions and being sacked five times.

Interestingly, the Cincinnati Bengals have had success against the Chiefs, boasting a 3-1 record since Burrow’s entry into the league in 2020. They even secured a victory over the Chiefs(27-24) at Arrowhead Stadium in the 2021 AFC Championship Game. That win led the Bengals to their third-ever Super Bowl appearance.

Tom Brady vs Peyton Manning: A Rivalry for the Ages 

The Manning vs Brady rivalry is an iconic chapter in NFL history, captivating fans with its intensity and showcasing two of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game. Peyton Manning, the first overall draft pick in 1998, and Tom Brady, the 6th round steal in 2000, took different paths to stardom.

Their showdowns began in 2001 when Brady secured three Super Bowl victories in his first four seasons, defeating Manning twice on his path to securing two of his championship rings. Although Brady initially dominated the postseason, Manning showcased his resilience and clutch performances later on in his career. However, overall, Tom had the upper hand in the rivalry, securing 11 wins in 17 games.

The rivalry reached its climax in the AFC Championship game, where they faced off in multiple epic battles. Throughout their rivalry, home-field advantage played a significant role, with the home team winning 12 out of their 17 matchups.

As their paths diverged, they left an empty space for the new generation to fill in. It may be a bit early to say this, but it looks like the Patrick Mahomes vs Joe Burrow rivalry has taken the torch passed by Brady and Manning.
