The Patriots have arguably their biggest matchup of the season on Sunday when they welcome in the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs to Gillette Stadium.

This game certainly has a lot of juice to it, but there's hasn't been much venom tossed back and forth between these two sides. Really, the only trash talk that's gone on this week is between Stephon Gilmore and Jaguars corner Jalen Ramsey, who'll be nowhere near the Sunday Night Football contest.

While there hasn't been much of any trash talk between the Patriots and Chiefs, FS1's Colin Cowherd does think there was a subtle jab by Patrick Mahomes towards Tom Brady.

This is what the Chiefs quarterback said earlier in the week about squaring off against Brady and the Patriots.

"It is going to be a great opportunity. He is one of the greatest quarterbacks -- if not the greatest quarterback -- to ever play," Mahomes said, via SB Nation's Arrowhead Pride. "I am going against their defense, but as a team we are going to go in and try to compete. They are a good team in the AFC every single year. Just to compete against one of the best teams in the league is going to be an awesome opportunity.”

That "one of the greatest" line didn't sit well with Cowherd.

"One of the greatest? Eight trips to the Super Bowl, five rings, 'You know he's one of the ... depends on what you like," Cowherd mocked. "I don't know, winning. Super Bowls is kind of what I like. Total disrespect."

Patrick Mahomes called Tom Brady, "one of the greatest."

This was then a springboard for Cowherd to lament those who praise pure talent over production.

"This makes me so angry," Cowherd continued. "Everybody is in love with talent. Ninety-percent of the media in America today, if you ask these knuckleheads, they'd say, "Aaron [Rodgers] is better than Tom Brady.' Why, cause his arm?"

He adds: "Russell Westbrook is the fastest NBA player and the most athletic. He's not as good as James Harden or Kevin Durant. At one point he was the third best player on Oklahoma City forget the league. What does talent mean? 'Well, Rodgers' arm and Mahomes' arm ...' Does coachability matter? Does pre-snap matter? Does worth ethic? Does offseason? Does commitment? I mean, what do you mean one of the best?"

Mahomes' "dig" at Brady hardly seems to have been intentional, but Cowherd does bring up an interesting perspective on the overall talent vs. production argument when debating who is the greatest of all time. With Tom Brady having an un-matched resume, it's hard to deny his GOAT-hood when comparing him to any quarterback.
