Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval threw some shade at Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in an official city proclamation Friday.

In his proclamation, the mayor pointed to Mahomes' 0-3 record against Joe Burrow, joking that officials have asked Burrow to take a paternity test to confirm whether he is Mahomes' father.

Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas caught wind of Pureval's jabs and called them "weak as hell."
Mahomes' wife, Brittany, agreed.
"WEAK. & embarrassing," she quote-tweeted.
In last year's AFC title game, the Bengals beat the Chiefs 27-24 in overtime after Cincinnati outscored Kansas City 17-3 in the second half and overtime. It clinched the Bengals' first Super Bowl appearance since the 1988 season.
