The rivalry between Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs continued on Sunday when the two teams clashed once again in the AFC Championship game.
Ahead of the game, the mayor of Cincinnati Aftab Karma Singh Pureval called for a DNA test to confirm whether or not Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was the father of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Burrow was 3-0 against Mahomes heading into the game.
The Chiefs ended up winning the game by a score of 23-20.
After the game, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce channeled The Rock and told the Cincy mayor, “I got some wise words for that Cincinnati mayor... know your role and shut your mouth, ya jabroni."
Taking to Twitter, The Rock acknowledged Kelce's mic skills.
