New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (8) is shown during Gang GreenÕs 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, Dec. 22, 2024, in East Rutherford.

For the Cincinnati Bengals, all eyes are now on the Kansas City Chiefs and the New York Jets.

After Saturday night’s win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the season finale, these teams must win on Sunday for the Bengals to advance to the playoffs.

Some Bengals players plan to offer the Chiefs and Jets some motivation as well.

Offensive tackle Oralndo Brown Jr. played for the Chiefs and said he would send a little message or two — and joked about how he could help motivate Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

“I’m sending out a mass text message,” Orlando Brown said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. “Hopefully everyone takes care of business. Some people who haven’t played yet but get the chance will hear from me. My message to (Jets quarterback) Aaron Rodgers is that I will get his next trip to Peru.”

Brown isn’t alone – Joe Burrow gave some insight into his feelings for Rodgers: “I’ve been a fan of his for a long time. When I watched him grow up, he was one of those guys that you love to watch, and when “Monday Night, Sunday Night Football” came on, you were hoping that he could help us tomorrow and give us a big game.

Rodgers’ Jets face the Miami Dolphins, while Kansas City’s reserves visit the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Both games begin at 4:25 p.m. ET. If the Jets and Chiefs win, the Bengals will move into the playoffs after five straight wins.
