Travis Kelce understands why Ja'Marr Chase is sticking up for Joe Burrow, but the Kansas City Chiefs tight end says the wide receiver should know better than to disrespect Patrick Mahomes.

Kelce weighed in on Chase's "Pat who?" comment this week on his "New Heights" podcast.

"It is what it is, dog. Who doesn't love some good locker room banter, man?" Kelce said. "Shoutout to Ja'Marr Chase for holding it down for his QB, but don't you ever disrespect Pat Mahomes, now. If you wanna talk your s---, talk your s---, pimp. Just better back it up."

The back-and-forth between the rivals started after Joe Burrow said this month that Mahomes was the best quarterback in the NFL and there's no argument to make until someone can knock him off.

Chase understandably has Burrow, instead, at the top of the list and when told of his teammate's opinion, made his "Pat who?" comment, which might have been made in a tongue-in-cheek manner but hasn't been taken that way by the Chiefs.

"I thought it was a little bold," Kelce said. "[Mahomes] is a two-time league MVP, two-time Super Bowl MVP. To say 'Pat who?' is like I don't know."
