It appears the Cincinnati mayor is taking Travis Kelce‘s advice by knowing his role and shutting his mouth … ’cause Aftab Pureval just helped the Bengals announce their Week 17 matchup with the K.C. Chiefs — and poked fun at his misfired trash talk in the process.
The team just dropped the funny clip on Wednesday … showing newly-acquired offensive tackle Orlando Brown helping him record the promo inside his office.
“The Bengals play the Chiefs Week 17 … and I’ve got nothing else to add,” Pureval said in the clip.
When the mayor asked Brown how he did, the lineman jokes it “was better than the last time.”

Remember, Pureval put his foot in his mouth days before last season’s AFC Championship Game … calling on Joe Burrow to take a paternity test to determine if he’s Patrick Mahomes‘ dad, as he was 3-0 in head-to-head matchups at the time.
But, as we all know, the Chiefs ended up coming away with the 23-20 win … and Kelce made sure to call out the Cincy mayor right after the game by channeling his inner Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
“Know your role and shut your mouth, you jabroni!!” Kelce said after the game.
“Know your role and shut your mouth, you jabroni!”

Pureval was a good sport at the time … admitting he “deserved that” — and it’s safe to say he’s still taking it on the chin, ’cause this schedule reveal was pretty good.
