Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Jermaine Burton is accused of assaulting and choking a 19-year-old woman he was dating, but she refused to press charges, according to police.

Five days before Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton did not travel to Pittsburgh, he was accused of assaulting his girlfriend.

Amid unfounded rumors that the Chiefs purposefully gave up during their loss to Denver to ensure the Bengals would be eliminated, Travis Kelce delivered a fired-up message to Cincinnati saying that he wasn’t “scared of f---ing nobody” and that having the Bengals in the playoffs would have been “fun.”

The first two worked out in the Bengals' favor, however, with Kansas City playing its backups in the regular-season finale, Denver was able to blow K.C. out with ease, handing the Chiefs a 38-0 loss. This led to red-hot Cincinnati getting eliminated.

Despite the Chiefs eliminating the Bengals by losing in Week 18, Travis Kelce wanted Cincinnati in the playoffs, he says.
