Ahead of this weekend's matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs, Tyler Boyd made a lofty comparison.

Boyd sees the matchup between Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes as the modern-day version of Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.

Manning and Brady faced off 12 times in the regular season and five times in the  playoffs.

"It's going back to that quarterback fight. I look at it like Manning and Brady," Boyd said. "You can’t stop them. It comes down to whoever excels and takes advantage of their opportunities in drives and scores points. These are the types of games that we have to take care of the football and not turn it over."

Sunday's game will be the third matchup between Burrow and Mahomes.

The Cincinnati Bengals are hopeful that Ja'Marr Chase will be able to return for their Week 12 game against the Tennessee Titans.

The Bengals are 1-1 without Chase, who is dealing with a hip injury.

Cincinnati is 5-4 and in second place in the AFC North.

The Carolina Panthers have fired cornerbacks coach Evan Cooper and defensive line coach Paul Pasqualoni.

Cooper was hired by former head coach Matt Rhule in 2020. Pasqualoni, 73, joined the team prior to this season.

The Panthers are 1-3 under Steve Wilks after Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
