This week, Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. will be facing off against his former team when the Bengals travel to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs after he failed to secure a long-term deal with the team last offseason. But even though things didn’t work out in a way that allowed him to stay, there’s no animosity.
During a press conference this week, Orlando Brown Jr. opened up about what it’s going to mean to go back to Kansas City.
“Haven’t been back since the [Super Bowl] banner has been up. Honestly, I kinda wanna see that,” Brown said according to James Rapien of SI.com. “That was the organization that gave me an opportunity to be a left tackle in this league and helped put me in position to be here. So there’s no animosity.”
As for the game itself, Brown is expecting a good atmosphere in Arrowhead Stadium.
“This is going to be a playoff-like atmosphere,” Brown said. “It doesn’t matter who we play this time of year. I’m excited. I would say that, honestly, if we were going to Seattle or San Francisco. It’s the time of year. That’s what makes these Bengals-Chiefs games so exciting, because of what’s at stake.”
We’ll have to see who comes out on top.
