Kansas City and Cincinnati have faced off in the past two AFC Championship games. Before the Chiefs defeated the Bengals to punch their ticket to Super Bowl LVII, in which KC bested the Philadelphia Eagles, Cincy had beaten KC three times by 3 points each.
The AFC Championship win was even sweeter for Kansas City after Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval joked in a proclamation that Bengals QB Joe Burrow had been asked to take a paternity test to see if he was Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes' father.

Pureval's comment stuck with Ohio native Travis Kelce, who dubbed the mayor a "jabroni" after KC's 23-20 win.
With Wednesday's announcement of the Chiefs-Bengals NYE game, Pureval released another proclamation. Although, this time he was much more succinct.
