Mahomes was heard to offer his congratulations to the Bengals players when he approached them. “Hell of a game, dog, hell of a game,” He said this as he hugged Trey Hendrickson, a Cincinnati defensive end.

“Many more, dog,” Mahomes spoke as he approached Burrow. “Many more. Hell of a game, you have a hell of a career, dog.”
