'See y'all in the playoffs': Patrick Mahomes told Joe Burrow that Bengals, Chiefs would meet again

After the Bengals rallied to beat the Chiefs earlier this month at Paul Brown Stadium, quarterbacks Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes met briefly to exchange well wishes and express mutual respect.

Among reactions from the Bengals' official Twitter account Sunday night to finding out that the two teams will meet again in the AFC title game in Kansas City was video of the interaction between the two, in which Mahomes said "see y'all in the playoffs."

Mahomes threw for 259 yards and two touchdowns in Cincinnati's 34-31 Week 17 win. Burrow had 446 passing yards and four touchdowns in the game.
