8
00:00:22,520 –> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: background here though, first, Matt, and it is the Walter

9
00:00:26,120 –> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: Peyton Man of the Year Wall basically that has put

10
00:00:29,920 –> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: up in the level nine where you and I work

11
00:00:31,960 –> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: a lot at gha field at Arrowhead Stadium. There’s also

12
00:00:34,840 –> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: a hallway in the practice facility dedicated to the Chiefs

13
00:00:38,280 –> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: winners of the Walter Peyton Man of the Year Award.

14
00:00:41,080 –> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: There have been five. Four of those five for the

15
00:00:43,479 –> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs have been are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

16
00:00:45,720 –> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: Chiefs had more than any other team in the National

17
00:00:48,400 –> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: Football League. I did a presentation earlier today that was

18
00:00:52,600 –> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: a nationwide event, so that’s why I’m here. But we

19
00:00:55,120 –> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: can start the show that way of just this award,

20
00:00:58,200 –> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: what it means and what it’s meant to the Chiefs. Yeah,

21
00:01:01,120 –> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: it means everything. It’s so much more important than so

22
00:01:03,840 –> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: many other awards, things like MVP’s Offensive Rookie of the Year,

23
00:01:07,800 –> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: stuff like that that the Chiefs have had players win

24
00:01:10,319 –> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: in the decades that they’ve been around. Those things are

25
00:01:12,400 –> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: great and really important to us. But the Man of

26
00:01:14,640 –> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: the Year award is about what you do on the

27
00:01:16,640 –> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: football field and what you do off of it. And

28
00:01:19,680 –> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: that’s so important because when you have a giant platform

29
00:01:22,120 –> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: like these guys, do you want to make the most

30
00:01:24,000 –> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: of it and make your community a better place. That’s

31
00:01:26,160 –> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: what that award is all about. And how about Tyrn

32
00:01:28,720 –> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: Matthew our nominee this year, he won the Online Social

33
00:01:32,040 –> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: Media Challenge because Chiefs Fans voted for him. He won

34
00:01:35,480 –> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: by a lot and he gets twenty five grand for

35
00:01:38,240 –> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: his foundation to put that back into our community, in

36
00:01:41,360 –> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: his community back in Louisiana and to make those communities

37
00:01:44,040 –> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: a better place. So good on Chiefs Fans for winning

38
00:01:46,560 –> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: that for Tyrn. This episode of A Friend of the

39
00:01:50,200 –> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: Kingdom is brought to you, as always by three sixty Vodkid,

40
00:01:53,120 –> 00:01:55,919
Speaker 1: the official vodka the Kansas City Chiefs and the Chiefs Kingdom.

41
00:01:55,960 –> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: In Kansas City’s hometown vodka. We’ve entitled this one the

42
00:02:00,120 –> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: Fireworks Display. We will get to that in a second,

43
00:02:03,960 –> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: but first, let’s go around the world here to see

44
00:02:07,200 –> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: who are some of our defending the Kingdom viewers and

45
00:02:10,240 –> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: listeners are. And let me start with a couple. This

46
00:02:11,919 –> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: is fine. I got one Jason Drummond from Garden City, Kansas.

47
00:02:15,360 –> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: Now there’s a garden City, Missouri, but this is garden City, Kansas,

48
00:02:18,880 –> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: where Tyreek Hill played his junior college football with the

49
00:02:22,520 –> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: Garden City Bronchbusters the Jayhawk Juco League. They’ve had many

50
00:02:26,919 –> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: many NFL players go through there. But that’s one. But

51
00:02:29,280 –> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: here’s a funny one. This just came in where his

52
00:02:33,680 –> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: name is Josh no War. He’s a huge Chiefs fan,

53
00:02:36,280 –> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: grew up in Kansas City. Maddie just recently asked for

54
00:02:41,320 –> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: a woman’s hand. I mean he reached out with an engagement.

55
00:02:46,120 –> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: Here a proposal with a Buffalo Bill’s native, a Buffalo

56
00:02:50,639 –> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: Bill’s fan. Her name is Candice Corey. She supposedly accepted.

57
00:02:55,639 –> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: They’re going to get married in May. But this seems

58
00:02:58,320 –> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: like really peculiar timing for Kansas City young man to

59
00:03:02,160 –> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: propose to a Buffalo young lady. Did he propose after

60
00:03:07,240 –> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: he knew that the Bills would be our opponent or

61
00:03:09,639 –> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: was it before? Is this just a really unfortunate coincidence

62
00:03:13,320 –> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: or did he know? I don’t know, but the Premier

63
00:03:16,720 –> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: age counseling I ought to be very very interesting, particularly

64
00:03:20,080 –> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: what happens on Sunday night in those epic games. We’re

65
00:03:23,200 –> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: going to jump into the fireworks display. But let’s who

66
00:03:26,560 –> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: do we have around the world that is listening and watched. Well,

67
00:03:29,320 –> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: I’ll say good luck to his marriage. This is a

68
00:03:31,200 –> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: rough way to start, hopefully a big Chiefs victory, but yeah,

69
00:03:34,720 –> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: lots of people all over the world and all over

70
00:03:36,560 –> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: the country. So we’ll start with around the world. We

71
00:03:38,720 –> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: have Andrew in New South Wales, Australia. He became a

72
00:03:42,280 –> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: fan of the Chiefs watching Christian Nakoya back in the nineties.

73
00:03:44,880 –> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: He’s been a fan ever since. We have David and

74
00:03:47,440 –> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: Tapei Taiwan, Cheryl and Bulgaria, Jed and Chester England. A

75
00:03:52,360 –> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: fan in Bangkok, Thailand. They’re a former case dater now

76
00:03:55,520 –> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: they’re in Bangkok. A fan in Burnaby, Canada. Harry and

77
00:03:59,680 –> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: montre y’all Canada. He’s been a fan since nineteen eighty six,

78
00:04:03,080 –> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: Ottawame in Nigeria and then Sebastian in Germany. And this

79
00:04:06,840 –> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: is kind of a cool story on how he became

80
00:04:08,320 –> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: a fan. He was visiting his wife’s friends in Kansas

81
00:04:11,680 –> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: City in twenty sixteen. He didn’t know really much about

82
00:04:14,600 –> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs at all, but they went to a Chiefs game.

83
00:04:16,960 –> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: Guess what game it was. It was the season opener

84
00:04:18,760 –> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: against the Chargers. The huge comeback, seventeen point comeback, Alex

85
00:04:22,000 –> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: Smith going crazy. That was his first ever Chiefs game.

86
00:04:24,600 –> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: He hasn’t missed a game since, watches all the games

87
00:04:26,600 –> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: on TV. He’s a huge fan now. So it’s cool.

88
00:04:28,760 –> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: Home moments like that can make you a fan for life.

89
00:04:31,320 –> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: Then lots of fans around the country. So Nate in Manhattan, Kansas,

90
00:04:34,640 –> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: Brandy in Winterport, Maine, Paul and Tonga, Knoxy Kansas, Larry

91
00:04:38,920 –> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: in Bakerton, Pennsylvania, Eric and Sioux City, Iowa, Emily and

92
00:04:43,360 –> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: Las Vegas out there in enemy territory. A fan in Brooklyn,

93
00:04:46,839 –> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: New York. And this is a cool story too. So

94
00:04:48,960 –> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: he was a kid in nineteen eighty six and he

95
00:04:51,360 –> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: had some football cards and everybody was a New York

96
00:04:53,600 –> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: Giants fan in Brooklyn obviously, and he had some Giants

97
00:04:56,760 –> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: football cards. A bully tried taking advantage of him and

98
00:05:00,400 –> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: traded some other football cards for this guy’s football cards.

99
00:05:03,720 –> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: One of the cards that he got was a Christian Nakoi,

100
00:05:05,920 –> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: a rookie card. He’s been a fan ever since. So

101
00:05:08,400 –> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 1: Christian Koya all over the world is making choos fans

102
00:05:11,360 –> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: for life. It’s so pretty cool. Going down the list here,

103
00:05:14,040 –> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: Gary and Donna, Texas, Mandy and Will and Mount Washington, Kentucky.

104
00:05:18,920 –> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: Now we called them out a few weeks ago, but

105
00:05:21,000 –> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: they heard the fan last week in Santa Barbara that

106
00:05:23,560 –> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: claimed that Santa Barbara is Arrowhead West. They want to

107
00:05:27,000 –> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: claim Mount Washington, Kentucky as Kingdom East. So from here henceforth,

108
00:05:32,520 –> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: Mount Washington, Kentucky is Kingdom East. We have a fan

Speaker 1: Rhode Island, Ricky and Paducah, Kentucky. Kind of funny here.

112
00:05:47,360 –> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: Apparently the Chiefs are on TV a lot in Paduca

113
00:05:50,320 –> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: like even though the Titans were just two hours away.

114
00:05:52,160 –> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: Like CBS puts Chiefs games on a lot there, so

115
00:05:54,960 –> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: the whole city, according to them, is a big Chiefs fans,

132
00:06:52,440 –> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: we hit North America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. So

133
00:06:57,600 –> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: we’re missing South America and in Ourica this week, but

134
00:07:01,560 –> 00:07:05,080

141
00:07:21,320 –> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: All right, let’s talk about one of the more anticipated

142
00:07:23,920 –> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: NFL games in the postseason and outside of a Super

143
00:07:26,840 –> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: Bowl in recent years, and that is this Buffalo Bills

144
00:07:30,160 –> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs game, which will be the divisional playoff

145
00:07:33,240 –> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: game Sunday night, Sunday afternoon, late at five thirty. And

146
00:07:37,120 –> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: here are the red hot Buffalo Bills, winners of the

147
00:07:39,880 –> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: last five games, completely dismantled there arch enemy New England

00:07:44,640 –> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: Patriots last weekend, and here come the equally hot Kansas

149
00:07:48,520 –> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, who scored in record fashion, literally in what

150
00:07:53,600 –> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: they did in just a matter of minutes last week

151
00:07:56,240 –> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, Matt, you know this growing

152
00:08:00,520 –> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: up in Kansas City and you’ve traveled the whole state

153
00:08:02,520 –> 00:08:05,200

Speaker 1: it during obviously the Fourth of July, these huge firework displays,

155
00:08:10,320 –> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: but there are some that are open year round, and

156
00:08:15,720 –> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: we stopped. We didn’t stop buying fireworks, but when we

157
00:08:18,240 –> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: were on our van trip, our fun bus trip to

158
00:08:21,720 –> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: Cincinnati of nine hours one way, we did stop at

159
00:08:24,920 –> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: a place that was a huge fireworks stand. I mean

160
00:08:27,200 –> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: there was just fireworks for you know, cubic feet upon

161
00:08:30,840 –> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: cubic feet. I get the sense in walking into this

162
00:08:35,040 –> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: game Sunday night that I am going to be walking

163
00:08:37,960 –> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: into one of those gigantic fireworks year round places, because

164
00:08:43,160 –> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: that’s the sense in this game because of two records

165
00:08:46,840 –> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: setting quarterbacks, two records setting offenses, and two very good defenses.

166
00:08:52,559 –> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: I used to live in Riverside, so I know all

167
00:08:54,240 –> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: about those fireworks stands. Those things are Riverside like year round.

168
00:08:57,720 –> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, River Bend one with my daughter at River Bend,

169
00:09:02,360 –> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 1: which is like, I don’t is it liberty? Is it? Independence?

170
00:09:05,960 –> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: Is at Kansas City, it’s all of that and it’s

171
00:09:07,720 –> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: none of that that’s a whole other story sometime that

172
00:09:11,280 –> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: I did with my daughter. Wow. Wow, that was an education.

173
00:09:14,600 –> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: But yes, Riverside for sure. Yeah, but I totally agree

174
00:09:18,200 –> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: about your thesis. Looking at this game, it is a

175
00:09:20,679 –> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: fireworks show. And how happy is the NFL that this

176
00:09:23,440 –> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: is a collision course game for these two teams. And

177
00:09:26,160 –> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: it’s exciting because both teams are playing at their peak

178
00:09:29,160 –> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: right now, and I think that’s really important from the

179
00:09:31,400 –> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: Chief’s perspective. The Bills have had a great season. We

180
00:09:34,040 –> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: know that they were really hitting on all cylinders early

181
00:09:36,640 –> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: in the year when we saw them, and they kind

182
00:09:38,640 –> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: of went through a lull there in the middle of

183
00:09:40,240 –> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: the season, and now they’re hitting on all cylinders again.

184
00:09:42,880 –> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: A perfect game really offensively for them against the Patriots.

185
00:09:46,040 –> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: No turnovers, no punts, no field goals, scored a touchdown

186
00:09:49,120 –> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: on every single drive, with the exception of their last

187
00:09:51,760 –> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: drive where they were taking a knee. That was a

188
00:09:53,800 –> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: game where I think they unleashed about thirty years of

189
00:09:56,480 –> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: frustration on Big Brother. I was thinking back to that

190
00:09:59,280 –> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven game against the Bills when the

191
00:10:01,080 –> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: Patriots were like truly unstoppable and they scored like fifty

192
00:10:04,040 –> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: one points on him or something crazy like that. I

193
00:10:06,240 –> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: think the Bills were thinking about that and their fans

194
00:10:08,720 –> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: were thinking about that throughout that game against the Patriots

195
00:10:11,559 –> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: this past weekend. But the Chiefs are playing great football

196
00:10:14,400 –> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: right now too. And after a slow start against Pittsburgh,

197
00:10:17,240 –> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 1: I’ll go what Patrick Mahomes did after the t J.

198
00:10:19,920 –> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: Watt defensive touchdown. So the Steelers get a touchdown right defensively,

199
00:10:23,920 –> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: and people are all wondering, oh man, can the Steelers

200
00:10:26,040 –> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: pull us upset from then on out? Patrick Mahomes completed

201
00:10:29,520 –> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: twenty four of twenty seven passes for five touchdowns and

202
00:10:33,559 –> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty nine yards. He had more touchdown

203
00:10:36,600 –> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: passes than in completions to close out the game. I mean,

204
00:10:39,880 –> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: that’s MVP. That’s Patrick Mahomes caliber football right there. For

205
00:10:44,120 –> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: him to have that game and have that confidence right

206
00:10:47,320 –> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: now throwing the football going into this game I think

207
00:10:50,040 –> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: is huge. Crazy what he did have twenty points and

208
00:10:53,600 –> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: ten and a half game minutes. I mean that shattered

209
00:10:55,559 –> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: the Tom Brady mark in the playoffs by fifteen game minutes.

210
00:11:00,320 –> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 1: I mean, it’s just mind boggling. But let’s give Josh

211
00:11:02,840 –> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: Allen his due. You mentioned that Patriot game the fact

212
00:11:05,720 –> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: that at one fifty seven point six rating, he was

213
00:11:08,559 –> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: only the third player in NFL history Josh Allen dead

214
00:11:11,160 –> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: five plus touchdown passes, no interceptions and fewer than five

215
00:11:15,080 –> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: in completions. Only Peyton Manning in two thousand and two

216
00:11:19,080 –> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: when he was a cult against Denver, his future team,

217
00:11:21,960 –> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: and then Kurt Warner in two thousand and eight for

218
00:11:25,040 –> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: the Cardinals against the Packers did what Josh Allen did

219
00:11:28,080 –> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: last weekend. So it’s interesting that we are seeing these

220
00:11:33,320 –> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: two high powered offenses, and Buffalo, to me, over the

221
00:11:36,320 –> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: years has started to emulate the Chiefs just more and

222
00:11:38,440 –> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: more and more. We know about stuff on Diggs. We

223
00:11:40,720 –> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: know how outstanding he is on the long passes. We

224
00:11:43,400 –> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: saw it in October in that Buffalo victory when he

225
00:11:46,480 –> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: got free for a sixty one yard But now Dawson Knox,

226
00:11:49,640 –> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie, Gabriel Davis, they’re using Devin Singletary more in

227
00:11:53,960 –> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: the run game and the passing game. There’s just a

228
00:11:56,800 –> 00:11:58,599
Speaker 1: lot of things to account for it. Think of that

229
00:11:58,679 –> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: fireworks bill when you walk in in February and there’s

230
00:12:01,840 –> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: all these fireworks. The same with the Chiefs, because now

231
00:12:04,760 –> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: we’ve seen the growth in guys like Byron Pringle, Jerry

232
00:12:08,520 –> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: McKinnon last week. There’s enough weapons anyway, But both of

233
00:12:13,280 –> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: these teams have just added to the arsenal. Both of

234
00:12:16,559 –> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: these teams don’t pigeonhole guys into certain roles, and that’s

235
00:12:19,960 –> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: what you do. You’re just a running back, You’re just

236
00:12:21,760 –> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. This is the offense that we run.

237
00:12:24,160 –> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: Both teams really utilized the athletes that they have on

238
00:12:26,559 –> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: the field in a variety of different ways. So you

239
00:12:28,960 –> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: mentioned all the threats that Buffalo has, Stefan Diggs, yes,

240
00:12:32,640 –> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: amazing player, but also Cole Beasley, Emmanuel Sanders, Gabriel Davis,

241
00:12:36,679 –> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: you mentioned Devin Singletary. Lots of good athletes on this

242
00:12:39,440 –> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo squad where they can stretch you out, they can

243
00:12:41,720 –> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: stretch you vertically as well. But the best athlete on

244
00:12:44,720 –> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: the field is their quarterback and Josh Allen and he’s

245
00:12:47,800 –> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: an amazing passer. We all know that he’s a great arm,

246
00:12:51,160 –> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: great story, you know, raising his completion percentage from at Wyoming.

247
00:12:54,320 –> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: That was the concern about him. Can he complete enough

248
00:12:56,200 –> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: passes in the NFL? Yeah, he can. He can really

249
00:12:58,600 –> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: complete passes at a high level. But his running ability

250
00:13:01,640 –> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: is the thing that makes him so special in my opinion.

251
00:13:03,720 –> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: So he has seven hundred rushing yards this year and

252
00:13:06,160 –> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: six rushing touchdowns. He has forced thirty seven missed tackles

253
00:13:10,800 –> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: this season, according to Pro Football Focus, that’s the most

254
00:13:13,280 –> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: of any non running back in the NFL. Twenty three

255
00:13:16,720 –> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: times on third down this season, and we saw it

256
00:13:18,920 –> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: back in that Week five matchup. He’ll just take the

257
00:13:20,960 –> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: ball and run a quarterback power or run to the

258
00:13:23,520 –> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: side somehow and he’ll get the first down. Twenty three

259
00:13:26,320 –> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: times he’s moved the chains on third down by himself

260
00:13:28,840 –> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: with his legs this year. This dude is six five,

261
00:13:31,200 –> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty pounds. So the important thing here

262
00:13:33,920 –> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs is they have to maintain gap integrity

263
00:13:36,520 –> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: against this guy. Got to maintain your assignments, hold the

264
00:13:39,240 –> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: edge against him, and if you have an opportunity to

265
00:13:41,840 –> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: sack Josh Allen, you have to bring him down because

266
00:13:44,880 –> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: what we’ve seen this year when he’s struggled, and he

267
00:13:47,200 –> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: has struggled at times under pressure, when he can’t get

268
00:13:49,280 –> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: out and scramble, if you can sack him and create

269
00:13:52,200 –> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: a negative play for this offense, throws the whole thing

270
00:13:54,679 –> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: off schedule and they struggle as a unit. But when

271
00:13:57,200 –> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: they’re on schedule and he gets to third and three

272
00:14:00,080 –> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: and four, that’s where they’re at their best. So the

273
00:14:02,280 –> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: Chiefs I suggest that they blitz. I suggested to get

274
00:14:05,400 –> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: pressure early and often in this game and make sure

275
00:14:08,240 –> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: you wrap him up when you have an opportunity to

276
00:14:10,040 –> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: do so. Because he’s a great athlete, and when he

277
00:14:12,120 –> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: can get the ball out to his other athletes on

278
00:14:13,520 –> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: the field, this team is very tough to beat. Yeah,

279
00:14:16,520 –> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: when you look at what he’s been able to do,

280
00:14:18,679 –> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: he had thirty six passing touchdowns. We’re talking regular season

281
00:14:21,400 –> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: numbers here. This is not even taking account his five

282
00:14:24,200 –> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: tosses last week against New England for touchdowns and then

283
00:14:27,560 –> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: seven hundred and sixty three rushing yards. Only three quarterbacks

284
00:14:31,120 –> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: in the history of the league have had thirty plus

285
00:14:34,360 –> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: touchdown passes and seven hundred plus rushing yards. Lamar Jackson

286
00:14:38,440 –> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen and that phenomenal year he had, Randall Cunningham.

287
00:14:42,840 –> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: We’re going all the way back to nineteen ninety and

288
00:14:45,000 –> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen in twenty twenty one. But and I love

289
00:14:49,080 –> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: his game. I love his game. Respect him. There’s still

290
00:14:52,080 –> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: the eighteen giveaways people have talked about Patrick Mahomes and

291
00:14:55,360 –> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: Hey interceptions which have gone away except for last week

292
00:14:57,920 –> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: on the batted pass, but generally wasn’t like at the

293
00:15:00,680 –> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: beginning of the year. Let’s be honest, Josh Allen on

294
00:15:04,640 –> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: a eleven and six regular season team had the third

295
00:15:07,920 –> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: most interceptions in this league. Only Trevor Lawrence and Matthew

296
00:15:10,960 –> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: Stafford had more, and three lost fumbles those were early

297
00:15:14,080 –> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: in the year. Those were all prior to the Chiefs game.

298
00:15:16,800 –> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: But to your point, you triggered that thought by saying

299
00:15:19,680 –> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: what you said. You have to be able to pressure

300
00:15:22,680 –> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: him in containing. The other thing that’s impressive about Buffalo

301
00:15:25,520 –> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: as their design runs. You mentioned somebody who was on

302
00:15:28,600 –> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: here from Kse State that now works in Bangkok, Thailand.

303
00:15:31,760 –> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: I think, well, they would love Colin Klein winning a

304
00:15:35,040 –> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: Bigsworld Championship on basically quarterback design runs. We’ve seen it

305
00:15:39,040 –> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson with Buffalo, but nobody’s been as creative

306
00:15:43,280 –> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: in these quarterback design runs and the Buffalo Bills. They

307
00:15:46,200 –> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: make it look like a pass like they get into

308
00:15:48,080 –> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: New England and it’s like a screenplay. Within the next instant,

309
00:15:51,400 –> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: the Linemen convert. They were on a quarterback power play,

310
00:15:54,200 –> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: and it just puts a lot of pressure on any defense.

311
00:15:56,520 –> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: So the Chiefs defense, which you and I both have

312
00:15:58,400 –> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: a ton of confidence in, they’re just going to have

313
00:16:00,960 –> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: to be on their game with Josh Allen, either throwing

314
00:16:03,520 –> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: or run him. I think those moments that you’re talking

315
00:16:06,160 –> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: about where you have a chance to get Josh Allen

316
00:16:08,840 –> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: and he makes a guy miss and gets twenty yards,

317
00:16:11,480 –> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: those are the plays that can win or lose this

318
00:16:14,320 –> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: game for the Chiefs. If you look at the numbers here,

319
00:16:17,560 –> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has been pressured two hundred and fifty three

320
00:16:20,160 –> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: times this season. That’s the most of any quarterback in

321
00:16:22,760 –> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: the NFL. It’s really interesting though. He’s basically unbeatable when

322
00:16:27,000 –> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: he has a clean pocket, but when he’s pressured, relatively speaking,

323
00:16:30,280 –> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: his numbers do go down. He struggles a bit when

324
00:16:32,800 –> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: he’s pressured, but if you allow him to create magic

325
00:16:36,960 –> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: with his legs. He has the most big time throws,

326
00:16:39,640 –> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: which are a subjective stat by Pro Football Focus, but

327
00:16:42,040 –> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: it basically means when you make a great throw in

328
00:16:43,760 –> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: a tight window. He has the most big time throws

329
00:16:46,360 –> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: under pressure of any quarterback in the NFL and the

330
00:16:49,240 –> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: most scrambles under pressure of any quarterback in the NFL.

331
00:16:52,560 –> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: So it’s a razor thin margin where if you can

332
00:16:55,080 –> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: get pressure on him and sack him or force him

333
00:16:57,560 –> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: into a fumble or an inner set, that’s a huge

334
00:17:01,120 –> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: play for the defense. But if you have one guy

335
00:17:03,560 –> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: that he breaks the tackle or you can’t quite bring

336
00:17:06,000 –> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: him down and he makes a big play, that can

337
00:17:08,160 –> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: go the other way and it’s a big win for

338
00:17:10,040 –> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: the Buffalo offense. So I cannot emphasize enough how important

339
00:17:13,600 –> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: it is for when he’s scrambling out of the pocket

340
00:17:16,160 –> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: that you have to take him down and not allow

341
00:17:18,160 –> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: him to make a big play, because that’s that’s truly

342
00:17:20,160 –> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: I think one of the major keys to this game. Yeah,

343
00:17:23,560 –> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen’s looking for his first road playoff victory. He’s

344
00:17:26,160 –> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: owing to losing to the Chiefs last year in the

345
00:17:28,400 –> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game. And Sean McDermott again one of Coach’s disciples,

346
00:17:33,520 –> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: he was he started out, that was his entry point

347
00:17:35,760 –> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: in the National Football legos with the Eagles with coach

348
00:17:38,960 –> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: Reid and coach McDermott doing a great job with this

349
00:17:41,840 –> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: team owing three on the road in the playoffs, So

350
00:17:44,720 –> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: that’s something they’re trying to overcome. And with the Chiefs

351
00:17:48,000 –> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: offense here, we’ve seen it starting to click. And I

352
00:17:49,840 –> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: didn’t mention guys like mcole Hardman or to Marcus Robinson,

353
00:17:52,480 –> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: who to me, their confidence level we’re sitting here on

354
00:17:56,000 –> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: middle of January has grown almost exponentially since the middle

355
00:18:00,720 –> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: of November. We talked about the defense improving, but we’ve

356
00:18:03,400 –> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: seen these individual offensive guys pop up. D Rob’s going

357
00:18:06,720 –> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: into this game and for sure McCole Hardman are going

358
00:18:09,400 –> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: into the high degree of confidence to be able to

359
00:18:11,359 –> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: compliment and help kind of subsidize Tyree Hill and Travis Kelsey. Yeah,

360
00:18:17,320 –> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: and guys like Jerk McKinnon he mentioned earlier Byron Pringle

361
00:18:19,960 –> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: had two touchdowns last week. That confidence level is so

362
00:18:23,280 –> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: so important because we know Tyreek Hill will get his coverage,

363
00:18:26,760 –> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: we know Travis Kelsey will get his coverage, so other

364
00:18:29,080 –> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: guys have to step up and then open things up

365
00:18:31,640 –> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: for guys like Hill and Kelsey, and for those guys,

366
00:18:34,960 –> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: particularly late this season, so against Pittsburgh and the regular season,

367
00:18:38,160 –> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: when we didn’t have Kelsey and Tyreek Hill had just

368
00:18:40,880 –> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: come off the COVID list and only got a couple

369
00:18:42,440 –> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: of targets, it was so important for those guys to

370
00:18:44,800 –> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: get a moment to show, hey, when it really matters,

371
00:18:47,119 –> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: we can be the guy. They showed that they could

372
00:18:49,119 –> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: do it, not just to the world, but also to

373
00:18:50,600 –> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: themselves and to the coaching staff. So then in the playoffs,

374
00:18:53,680 –> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, these guys are now making big

375
00:18:55,760 –> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: plays when it’s needed. How awesome was Jerk McKinnon against

376
00:18:58,600 –> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers one hundred forty two scrimmage yards on

377
00:19:01,520 –> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: eighteen touches in that game. He was huge when the

378
00:19:03,720 –> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs were really hurting in their backfield Byron Pringle, great

379
00:19:07,200 –> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: catch on that fade, the quick cut in on a

380
00:19:09,840 –> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: fake slant, then goes right to the corner of the

381
00:19:11,760 –> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: end zone and catches that touchdown pass that really got

382
00:19:13,960 –> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: things rolling for this offense. So I think that confidence

383
00:19:17,240 –> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: in themselves and also Patrick mahomes confidence and those guys

384
00:19:20,280 –> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: that they can go out there and make big plays

385
00:19:22,080 –> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: when needed super important going against this Buffalo defense. I

386
00:19:26,520 –> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 1: think one thing that’s important to note too, because we’re

387
00:19:28,680 –> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: talking about how this team has grown, particularly since that

388
00:19:31,280 –> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: Week five game. A couple of things went wrong in

389
00:19:34,040 –> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: that Week five game that we can look back at

390
00:19:35,800 –> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: and say, hey, these things are preventable, and one of

391
00:19:38,359 –> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: them is the turnovers for this Chief’s offense, which you

392
00:19:40,840 –> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier. The Chiefs turn the ball over four times

393
00:19:43,920 –> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: in that game. The Bills coming into that game weren’t

394
00:19:47,200 –> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: turning the ball over at all, and defensively, they were

395
00:19:49,440 –> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: forcing a bunch of turnovers right And the Chiefs defense

396
00:19:52,359 –> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: at that time, too, was going through some stuff. They’re

397
00:19:54,240 –> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: struggling at times, they’re actually, I can go through it

398
00:19:57,320 –> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: right now. They’re missing Chris Jones and Shavarious Ward in

399
00:19:59,800 –> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: that game, Willie Gage Junior and Frank Clark were in

400
00:20:02,240 –> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: their first games back from injury, so they weren’t fully

401
00:20:05,240 –> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: immersed in the defense at that point. One Thornhill, it

402
00:20:08,680 –> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: only played forty four percent of the snaps in that game.

403
00:20:11,160 –> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: He wasn’t an every down starter at that point. Since

404
00:20:14,320 –> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: that game, he’s played at least eighty percent of the

405
00:20:16,280 –> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: snaps in twelve of thirteen games. And Melvin Ingram was

406
00:20:18,920 –> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 1: a Pittsburgh stealer. So the defense has totally changed and

407
00:20:22,280 –> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: the defense has forced turnovers and big plays in the

408
00:20:25,680 –> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: time since that game. I’ll put a bow on it

409
00:20:28,080 –> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 1: with this because now I’m just rambling about our defense.

410
00:20:30,000 –> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: But coming into that since that game, the Chiefs are

411
00:20:33,480 –> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: plus eleven in turnover differential through the into the regular

412
00:20:36,720 –> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: season and the Bills are minus three. I mean to

413
00:20:38,920 –> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: keep in mind going into this one. Yeah, it’s the

414
00:20:42,119 –> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: turnaround there, especially for the Chiefs, and that it’s like

415
00:20:45,080 –> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: something I’ve never seen in the National Football League Chiefs

416
00:20:47,720 –> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: or otherwise. Now the Bills are also We’re going to

417
00:20:52,760 –> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: pivot here a little bit on the next couple of

418
00:20:55,080 –> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: minutes as we close the show. First of all, here’s

419
00:20:57,680 –> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: a real tasty stat. I love it when our dt

420
00:21:00,160 –> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: K listeners and viewers climb in and they’d do their

421
00:21:04,000 –> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: own research. Derek Nelson is one of our great DTK

422
00:21:07,440 –> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: season ticket holders, if you will, in Houston, Texas Houston.

423
00:21:10,920 –> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: He lives there in Houston, but he came up with

424
00:21:13,960 –> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: this one. We know, the Bills just went nuts on

425
00:21:17,200 –> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: New England. The Bills were the twenty third team in

426
00:21:21,480 –> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: NFL postseason history. Now we’re going all the way back here.

427
00:21:24,119 –> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: Let’s is like, think of the Washington Redskins losing to

428
00:21:26,480 –> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: the Bears seventy three to nothing like the thirties or forties,

429
00:21:30,080 –> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: but the Bills the twenty third team to score forty

430
00:21:32,080 –> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: seven or more points in a postseason game the next week.

431
00:21:35,960 –> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: Of teams that weren’t doing that in the Super Bowl

432
00:21:39,080 –> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: that had to have a game the next week, there

433
00:21:40,800 –> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: were thirteen of those twenty three, so ten won super

434
00:21:44,480 –> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: Bowls doing it or NFL championship games the next week.

435
00:21:49,400 –> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: Those teams were four and nine and averaged eighteen points

436
00:21:52,760 –> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: a game. And that was one of those emoji. Let

437
00:21:56,440 –> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: me think about that a second. So that’s when I

438
00:21:58,640 –> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: thought you would like and he was just grinding through that.

439
00:22:01,720 –> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: The other there were nine that won Super Bowls or

440
00:22:04,480 –> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: NFL championship games before the merger that blew somebody out

441
00:22:08,359 –> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: and didn’t have to play the next week. But blown

442
00:22:10,040 –> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 1: somebody out doesn’t always necessarily mean you’re going to do

443
00:22:12,920 –> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: it again the following week. Now let me pivot though,

444
00:22:14,960 –> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: to this Buffalo defense. If you look at their grade card,

445
00:22:17,720 –> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, past defense, total defense, third down defense,

446
00:22:22,240 –> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: best defense against play action passes, best defense against downfield passes,

447
00:22:27,240 –> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: and yards per play. First. First, first, first, first, first, first,

448
00:22:32,000 –> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: this is the Valdedictorian right now. Defenses in the NFL,

449
00:22:35,320 –> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: if you look at their grade card, yeah, they’re really

450
00:22:38,119 –> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: really good. I mean, they lead just like you said

451
00:22:40,200 –> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: the league, and just about every defensive category, they’ve been

452
00:22:42,720 –> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: awesome this season. They set out to be better defensively

453
00:22:45,080 –> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: the season and they’ve done that. So give them credit

454
00:22:47,960 –> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 1: where credit is due now looking what they’ve done this year.

455
00:22:52,119 –> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: You mentioned third down. Third down is a money down

456
00:22:54,720 –> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL. We all know that. One key to

457
00:22:56,800 –> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: watch in this game is, yes, they have the best

458
00:22:58,320 –> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: third down defense in the l but who has the

459
00:23:01,160 –> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: best third down offense in the NFL? As a matter

460
00:23:04,080 –> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: of fact, who is the best third down offense or sorry,

461
00:23:06,440 –> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: the fifth best third down offense in NFL history. It’s

462
00:23:09,359 –> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs and they’re playing very well on

463
00:23:11,880 –> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: third down right now, that’s an area in this game

464
00:23:13,920 –> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: where something has to give. So third down is a

465
00:23:16,280 –> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: big money down, even more so in this game than

466
00:23:19,040 –> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: it ever is. And I’ll get back to the chief

467
00:23:21,560 –> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: By the way. With the best and third down offense,

468
00:23:23,400 –> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: it’s the twenty eleven Saints. So I mean they were,

469
00:23:27,119 –> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: they were, They’ve been incredible on third day and they’re

470
00:23:29,320 –> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: going to need to be that way again this week. Yeah,

471
00:23:31,160 –> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: they need to be. And also just protecting the balls.

472
00:23:33,640 –> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: I mentioned the turnover margin earlier and how the Chiefs

473
00:23:35,840 –> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: turned the ball over four times back in Week five.

474
00:23:38,720 –> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: When you’re playing a good team like this, you cannot

475
00:23:40,400 –> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: turn the ball over. Now, these were preventable turnovers, I think.

476
00:23:43,920 –> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: I mean one was the ball just bounced off Tyreek

477
00:23:45,840 –> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: Hills hands into Micah Hyde’s grasp. He scores a pick six.

478
00:23:49,800 –> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: There was another one where there’s a great play by

479
00:23:52,040 –> 00:23:54,479
Speaker 1: Gregory Rousseau where I think McCole Harman if he had

480
00:23:54,480 –> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: caught this ball, would have scored a touchdown. It was

481
00:23:56,240 –> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: a quick, little like a screen throw basically, but Rousseau

482
00:23:59,320 –> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: just got his big up, battled it up in the

483
00:24:02,200 –> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: air and then caught his own deflection and had the interception.

484
00:24:05,600 –> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: The Chiefs actually moved the ball kind of well on

485
00:24:08,160 –> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo back in Week five, even though they were going

486
00:24:10,320 –> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: through some stuff offensively back then, they’re still kind of

487
00:24:12,480 –> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: learning how to deal with those two high safety shell looks.

488
00:24:15,520 –> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: They moved the ball effectively at times. The issue was

489
00:24:18,840 –> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: they just couldn’t punch it in for touchdowns whenever they

490
00:24:21,119 –> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: got on Buffalo the side of the field. So got

491
00:24:23,520 –> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: to make sure when you’re moving the ball that you’re

492
00:24:25,760 –> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: you’re converting red zone opportunities into touchdowns. In this game

493
00:24:29,200 –> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: and not turning it over because this Buffalo defense is

494
00:24:31,720 –> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: very opportunistic. I remember that, speaking of red zone, McKinnon

495
00:24:35,720 –> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: had one bounce off his face mask and fly up

496
00:24:37,920 –> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: and I get intercepted in the end zone. That took

497
00:24:39,760 –> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: out another one off the board. The Chiefs are going

498
00:24:42,440 –> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: to get at least three there. Okay, we’re gonna close

499
00:24:44,960 –> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: this up. Did you ever go into the big fireworks stand?

500
00:24:48,040 –> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: Did your folks give you, like, here’s twenty bucks, go

501
00:24:50,640 –> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: buy some fireworks. My family never trusted me with that

502
00:24:54,359 –> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: kind of thing, probably for good reason. But I get

503
00:24:57,440 –> 00:25:01,959
Speaker 1: where you’re going with this though. Well, and I’ll just

504
00:25:02,000 –> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: tell you so grown up on a farm, of course

505
00:25:05,240 –> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: it could be a fireworks haveing, but it had to

506
00:25:06,840 –> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: be very careful. If dry, you could start fires. But

507
00:25:09,800 –> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: my friend, we had an old and he’s a city kid, right,

508
00:25:13,160 –> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: he’s a town kid. We had this old It used

509
00:25:16,520 –> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: to be a fuel tank but it was buried under

510
00:25:18,240 –> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 1: the ground, and he goes, oh, this is interesting. I’m

511
00:25:20,880 –> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: gonna put a big firecracker down in this hole, like no, dun’t.

512
00:25:25,560 –> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: And he did it. The whole ground just goes but

513
00:25:29,920 –> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: it didn’t blow up, but it could have in that tank.

514
00:25:32,760 –> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: We had to bring it back up. Now I know

515
00:25:34,640 –> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: where it’s at to this day, and there’s a huge

516
00:25:37,040 –> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: hole in that tank from that firework. But again, we’ve

517
00:25:41,119 –> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: all walked into the big fireworks locations throughout the Chiefs

518
00:25:45,480 –> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: Kingdom or during the Fourth of July time going into

519
00:25:48,680 –> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: those big fireworks. Ten, Matt, I think you agree. That’s

520
00:25:52,480 –> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: what I feel like. We’re walking into Sunday afternoon at

521
00:25:56,119 –> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: five thirty for this great game between the Bills and Chiefs. Yeah,

522
00:25:59,160 –> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: I couldn’t agree more. It’s a great opportunity for the

523
00:26:01,520 –> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs here in this game. If you’re looking at the

524
00:26:03,480 –> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen even said this today during his

525
00:26:07,080 –> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: media session. He said, the Chiefs are what we are

526
00:26:09,160 –> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: aspiring to be. The Bills want to be that top

527
00:26:12,280 –> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: dog in the AFC. But for the Chiefs, they can

528
00:26:15,080 –> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: go out there make their way to a fourth consecutive

529
00:26:18,240 –> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: AFC title game. If the Bengals went on Saturday, the

530
00:26:21,040 –> 00:26:24,239
Speaker 1: Chiefs can win against the Bills, we’ll be hosting a

531
00:26:24,280 –> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: fourth consecutive AFC title game. And after this season that’s

532
00:26:28,480 –> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: been a season of ups and downs. You know, the

533
00:26:30,320 –> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: three and fourth start fighting through the middle of the year,

534
00:26:32,800 –> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 1: fighting against these defenses that have tried to adapt to

535
00:26:35,240 –> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs offensive philosophy. If the Chiefs can make a

536
00:26:37,920 –> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: fourth consecutive AFC title game and announced so the rest

537
00:26:40,920 –> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: of the league, Hey, we’re still here and we’re not

538
00:26:43,160 –> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: going anywhere. It’s a very exciting opportunity here for the

539
00:26:46,080 –> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs against a very worthy opponent in the Buffalo Bills.

540
