1
00:00:00,360 –> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Some of the most epic games since twenty twenty have

2
00:00:03,440 –> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: involved the Bills and the Chiefs. Think about it AFC

3
00:00:06,680 –> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: Championship Game in twenty twenty, the thirteen second game in

4
00:00:10,039 –> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. The Bills have basically controlled the Chiefs

5
00:00:14,600 –> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: in Kansas City over the last two regular seasons, and

6
00:00:18,079 –> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: now they meet again with a lot on the line.

7
00:00:21,200 –> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: This addition of defending the Kingdom is called Find It,

8
00:00:24,320 –> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: and It’s brought to you by our friends at Ticketmaster

9
00:00:42,120 –> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: and Hi everyone, I’m Mitchell’s Voice of the Chiefs along

10
00:00:44,920 –> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: with senior team reporter Matt McMullen. This is the DTK

11
00:00:48,880 –> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: version with the Bills and the Chiefs. First of all,

12
00:00:51,520 –> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: thank you Matt for filling in filling in for me

13
00:00:54,760 –> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: during the Packers’ weekend. I’ll just tell you it was

14
00:00:57,840 –> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: excruciating to have a four forty three years streak come

15
00:01:01,200 –> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: an end. But you were just rocking it. Man.

16
00:01:02,960 –> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 2: One shout out to Ari Wolfe, who if fisted the

17
00:01:04,959 –> 00:01:07,639
Speaker 2: radio for you. My job wasn’t too hard. I hosted

18
00:01:07,680 –> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: rewind and of course did field Pass with Ari. Wasn’t

19
00:01:10,959 –> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: the same being there without you though, for real. Some

20
00:01:14,240 –> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: of my favorite memories and this job is just being

21
00:01:17,880 –> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: on the road with you and we’re game planning and

22
00:01:19,959 –> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: talking about the opponent and getting to the stadium early.

23
00:01:22,920 –> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 3: Wasn’t the same without you.

24
00:01:24,280 –> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: I know, everyone listening to the broadcast all I did

25
00:01:26,480 –> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 2: great filling in, but wasn’t quite the same without you.

26
00:01:29,400 –> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 3: So so glad you’re back.

27
00:01:30,720 –> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: We did not miss a Defending the Kingdom episode DTK

28
00:01:34,240 –> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 2: was not interrupted, and that’s a good thing at least.

29
00:01:37,560 –> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: And I felt like George Bailey in a wonderful life,

30
00:01:40,120 –> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: lifted out of my life and just hovering like a

31
00:01:42,319 –> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: drone over what I do. But I came appreciative, more

32
00:01:46,720 –> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: appreciative of everybody around me and everything around me when

33
00:01:50,960 –> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: you get pulled out and then put back in. So

34
00:01:54,440 –> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: here we are and now getting ready for the Bills

35
00:01:56,480 –> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: and Chiefs. A peculiar addition in my opinion of the

36
00:02:00,000 –> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: Bills and Chiefs, because these two teams desperate to win

37
00:02:03,400 –> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: this game. I would say, on both accounts, we’ll get

38
00:02:05,440 –> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: into that, but how they’ve gotten here are just different

39
00:02:08,840 –> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: ways than we’re anticipated over the summer. But still it’s

40
00:02:12,760 –> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: the Bills and Chiefs with a lot on the line.

41
00:02:14,480 –> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: So to get ready for that, no better way than

42
00:02:16,840 –> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: to jump on Matt’s space station that goes around the

43
00:02:20,720 –> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: Earth and check in with our Kingdom defenders around the world.

44
00:02:25,280 –> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: So we have a lot of submissions. I only have

45
00:02:27,040 –> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: three names for you today. I’ll get back to everyone

46
00:02:29,680 –> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: next week. I promise for Yon stener Rude.

47
00:02:31,639 –> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: Maybe there we go for Yon or Yan staner Rud

48
00:02:34,040 –> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Fame kicker.

49
00:02:35,680 –> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: Awesome guy.

50
00:02:36,440 –> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: Ye Yon the best.

51
00:02:37,880 –> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: So the first two I met in person at the

52
00:02:40,440 –> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: Holiday Bar over at the Stadium.

53
00:02:42,240 –> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: Have you been over to that? Yeah, Yeah, it’s pretty cool.

54
00:02:44,760 –> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 1: It’s up at the Penthouse, so I like, I was

55
00:02:47,280 –> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: in like the North Pole, felt like Santa was there,

56
00:02:50,240 –> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: like working on stuff.

57
00:02:51,480 –> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 2: Well, it’s it’s crazy that we spend so much time

58
00:02:54,160 –> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: up there, but it looks totally different. Like I walked

59
00:02:56,760 –> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 2: in and I was like, this is not the Penthouse.

60
00:02:59,760 –> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: Away very cool. I believe it’s sold out, but if

61
00:03:02,480 –> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: you still have tickets to go to it, it’s awesome.

62
00:03:04,919 –> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: I met Ivan at the Holiday Bar shout out to Ivan.

63
00:03:07,760 –> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: And I met Carmen at the Holiday Bar as well,

64
00:03:10,400 –> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: and I went on Tuesday last Tuesday, so we had

65
00:03:14,040 –> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: our last Wednesday rather because our podcast had posted that

66
00:03:17,080 –> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 2: morning for the week, and she mentioned that she had

67
00:03:18,680 –> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: just watched the show and then came to the holiday bar.

68
00:03:20,280 –> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: And now I was so shout out to Carmen and

69
00:03:23,240 –> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 2: then shout out to Susie from Germany. So we mentioned

70
00:03:26,000 –> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: Susie before. Susie sent us some gifts and here’s one

71
00:03:28,560 –> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: of them. It is a jersey from the Stuttgart European

72
00:03:34,600 –> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: League of Football team. Amazing, right, jersey came all the

73
00:03:40,200 –> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: way from Germany. So thank you Susie, Thank you Susan,

74
00:03:42,920 –> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: You’re the best. I’ll get Mitch’s T shirt and we

75
00:03:45,320 –> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: appreciate you.

76
00:03:45,920 –> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: Thank you very much.

77
00:03:46,720 –> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: Street guards yea love it. Yeah, it’s fantastic cool huh Yeah,

78
00:03:50,520 –> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: that penthouse looks awesome. Man. So if you want to

79
00:03:53,760 –> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: find Santa’s elves working on your gift, sneak your way

80
00:03:57,280 –> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: into the Penthouse club. I actually don’t do that. You’ll

81
00:03:59,280 –> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: get thrown out. That wouldn’t be a good idea. But

82
00:04:02,520 –> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: here we are, so Chiefs and Bill’s interesting game. The

83
00:04:06,480 –> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: Bills are a really interesting study. We haven’t seen a

84
00:04:09,800 –> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: team like this in a long time. If ever, this

85
00:04:13,880 –> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: is a six and six Bills team that has a

86
00:04:16,520 –> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: plus one hundred point advantage in point differential. Okay, the

87
00:04:21,480 –> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: last team after twelve weeks that had a plus one

88
00:04:24,360 –> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: hundred point differential and did not make the playoffs with

89
00:04:27,120 –> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: the two thousand and five Chargers, You’re going, why aren’t

90
00:04:30,640 –> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: the Bills ten and two pertinent? Question? Right? But giveaways

91
00:04:35,040 –> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: in this league are lethal, especially tight the AFC is

92
00:04:39,680 –> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: and tight as the NFL is. It maybe gets simplistic,

93
00:04:44,000 –> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: but the fact that these guys have just given it

94
00:04:45,880 –> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: away too much at critical times seems to be the

95
00:04:48,760 –> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: crux of the Bills issues.

96
00:04:51,200 –> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 3: And you laid it all out.

97
00:04:52,400 –> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at the Bills offensive numbers,

98
00:04:54,920 –> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: they’re very Bill like. I mean, it’s the second best

99
00:04:57,680 –> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 2: red zone offense in the NFL at sixty seven zero

100
00:05:00,160 –> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: point four percent, really good. They have the lowest three

101
00:05:03,520 –> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 2: and out percentage in the NFL, just ahead of the Chiefs.

102
00:05:06,680 –> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: And it’s the top third down offense in the NFL,

103
00:05:09,120 –> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: converting at a fifty percent clip. And in many ways

104
00:05:12,200 –> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 2: they’re actually more dynamic, I think than they have been

105
00:05:14,640 –> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: in recent years because they can run the football effectively

106
00:05:17,480 –> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: from the running back position. With James Cook. They are

107
00:05:20,600 –> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 2: gaining at least four yards on forty eight point five

108
00:05:23,640 –> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 2: percent of their runs this year, highest rate in the NFL,

109
00:05:26,640 –> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: so they’re consistently ahead of the sticks when they’re on schedule.

110
00:05:30,040 –> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 2: But you’re right, it’s the turnovers. They have twenty turnovers

111
00:05:32,839 –> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 2: this year, seventh most in the NFL, tied with the Chiefs, actually,

112
00:05:36,560 –> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 2: but their turnovers have kind of happened in bunches, really strange.

113
00:05:40,360 –> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 2: Last year, they turned the ball over in the red.

114
00:05:42,080 –> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 3: Zone a lot.

115
00:05:42,680 –> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: They had eight red zone giveaways, most in the NFL.

116
00:05:45,560 –> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: They have zero this year, so they’ve been really good

117
00:05:47,760 –> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: in the red zone, but ten of their twenty giveaways

118
00:05:50,600 –> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 2: have taken place in their own territory. It’s when drives

119
00:05:53,279 –> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 2: are first getting started, and six of those giveaways happen

120
00:05:56,400 –> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: on the first play of a drive most in the NFL.

121
00:05:59,480 –> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 2: Really kind of difficult to do that, so there’s not

122
00:06:02,320 –> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: an easy way to explain it. But the Bills have

123
00:06:04,680 –> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 2: turned the ball over a lot early on in drives

124
00:06:07,480 –> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: and have just kind of gotten into a funk and

125
00:06:10,160 –> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: it’s led to a six and six season for them.

126
00:06:11,920 –> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: I’ve watched a lot of their games and they’re right

127
00:06:14,120 –> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 2: in it to the end, and they have just been

128
00:06:16,080 –> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 2: on the other side of it. So it’s a very

129
00:06:18,120 –> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: dangerous team that in a lot of ways, has beaten

130
00:06:20,240 –> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: themselves quite a bit this year.

131
00:06:21,520 –> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: Ye all six of their losses have been by six

132
00:06:23,520 –> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: points or less, and they’ve lost seven of the last

133
00:06:26,240 –> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: ten games that have been decided by one possession. That’s

134
00:06:29,640 –> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: part of it too, So that thought kicked in as

135
00:06:32,560 –> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: you mentioned that. The other one that’s inexplicable. Of the

136
00:06:35,880 –> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: thirteen Josh Allen interceptions this season, seven have come when

137
00:06:39,880 –> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: he has the lead. It’s not like he’s from behind

138
00:06:42,560 –> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: and trying to force something to happen again. It’s strange,

139
00:06:45,440 –> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: and that first drive or first play of a drive

140
00:06:49,160 –> 00:06:49,679
Speaker 1: to turn.

141
00:06:49,520 –> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 3: It over is very weird.

142
00:06:51,560 –> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: But this episode of Defending the Kingdom, we’re entitled find It,

143
00:06:55,480 –> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: and really that circles back to the Chiefs. We’re going

144
00:06:57,480 –> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: to get to more on the Bills, and I do

145
00:06:59,279 –> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: like what you’re saying about their run game because to

146
00:07:01,880 –> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: make James Cook the lead guy. However, Latavius Murray now

147
00:07:06,360 –> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: he’s still a factor in Johnson. They have a three

148
00:07:08,240 –> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: headed monster with this run game. Plus they do a

149
00:07:11,200 –> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: good job of still running the jet sweeps, the wide

150
00:07:14,880 –> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: receiver power sweeps. They do that very very well. Let’s

151
00:07:18,600 –> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: talk about the Chiefs here finding it, And let’s start

152
00:07:22,160 –> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: with finding energy. One of coaches four mantras when he

153
00:07:25,440 –> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: drove into town in January of twenty thirteen was to

154
00:07:28,560 –> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: create energy. Sometimes most of the time that energy has

155
00:07:33,000 –> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: to be from within, within a locker room, within a team,

156
00:07:36,240 –> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: within oneself. And now we’re sitting here in December with

157
00:07:40,160 –> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: the game where the Chiefs can steal the one seeds

158
00:07:42,480 –> 00:07:45,239
Speaker 1: still very much in play, gotta win the division. Denver’s

159
00:07:45,280 –> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: putting on some pressure. How do you find it? How

160
00:07:48,040 –> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: do you find the energy? How do you find the

161
00:07:50,200 –> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: energy when you’re coming on a short week and you’re

162
00:07:52,440 –> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: playing a Bills team that will have two weeks to

163
00:07:55,040 –> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: prepare for you.

164
00:07:56,240 –> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 2: I think part of it is a lot of what

165
00:07:59,280 –> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: we need to accomplish our goals is already there. It

166
00:08:03,680 –> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: is a matter of tweaking a couple of things and

167
00:08:06,080 –> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: making sure that we are doing the right things to

168
00:08:08,520 –> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: accomplish those goals. So if you look at the game

169
00:08:11,000 –> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: against the Packers, Packers played an outstanding game and one

170
00:08:15,040 –> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: of the things that they did is they limited the

171
00:08:16,920 –> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: Chiefs opportunities offensively. The Chiefs had seven offensive possessions true

172
00:08:21,360 –> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 2: offensive possessions. They also had that possession at the end

173
00:08:23,640 –> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: of the first half, where they ran one play that

174
00:08:25,240 –> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: doesn’t really count. They were at their own one yard line.

175
00:08:27,880 –> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 2: Seven true offensive possessions. The Bill or the Packers also

176
00:08:31,720 –> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 2: had seven offensive possessions, but they were incredibly efficient with them.

177
00:08:34,880 –> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: They scored touchdowns. The Chiefs had to settle for field

178
00:08:37,800 –> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 2: goals on two of their four red zone attempts. So

179
00:08:41,200 –> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: when you limit a team’s offensive possessions and you only

180
00:08:44,320 –> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 2: are able to score nineteen points and you turn the

181
00:08:47,679 –> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: ball over, those mistakes are magnified big time. And the

182
00:08:51,200 –> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: Packers played a great game with their limited possessions. The

183
00:08:53,440 –> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 2: Chiefs played a pretty good game. For the Chiefs going

184
00:08:56,080 –> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: into this game, I think it would make a lot

185
00:08:57,880 –> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 2: of sense to go in with the Packers game plan.

186
00:09:00,800 –> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 2: Let’s limit the Bills offensive possessions, let’s bait them into

187
00:09:04,240 –> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: some mistakes, and offensively, let’s be very efficient and in

188
00:09:07,840 –> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: drives with touchdowns. That all sounds great, you have to

189
00:09:10,160 –> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: go do it, but the numbers do indicate the Chiefs

190
00:09:12,480 –> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: could do that. Considering that the Chiefs have the second

191
00:09:14,840 –> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 2: most drives this season of five or more minutes and

192
00:09:18,040 –> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: the NFL they’re able to play ball control, you just

193
00:09:20,559 –> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: gotta finish drives with touchdowns and not field goals. And

194
00:09:24,320 –> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 2: then if the Bills are behind they commit a mistake,

195
00:09:27,040 –> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you’re playing the game on your terms.

196
00:09:29,440 –> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 2: So it’s a long winded way of saying it’s all

197
00:09:31,840 –> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: right there. For the Chiefs, it’s all right there. They

198
00:09:34,120 –> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: just need to go out and play their game and

199
00:09:36,160 –> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 2: not beat themselves. And I like their chances.

200
00:09:38,960 –> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: Chiefs are still second in the league in fewest three

201
00:09:40,840 –> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: and outs. You look at one hundred and twenty five

202
00:09:42,360 –> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: possessions only seventeen three and outs. The Bills are first. Okay,

203
00:09:46,400 –> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: the Bills are first when you look at they’ve had

204
00:09:48,000 –> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty possessions only fourteen three and outs.

205
00:09:51,160 –> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: But it’s a matter your point. I think Matt is

206
00:09:53,760 –> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: well taken. We know the rest of people look for

207
00:09:56,040 –> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: this twenty twenty three Chiefs team much different in eighteen, nineteen,

208
00:10:00,120 –> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, and twenty two with Pat Mahomes as

209
00:10:02,360 –> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: the QB. One different. It can still be tasty, but

210
00:10:06,679 –> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: it’s a whole different cookbook, and the cookbook means there

211
00:10:09,960 –> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: has to be finding it. Part of the finding it

212
00:10:13,520 –> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: is finding the intensity and awareness and concentration on every

213
00:10:17,760 –> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: snap when you play an offensive game where we all

214
00:10:23,040 –> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: see teams that will play with kind of tight margins,

215
00:10:25,480 –> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: and what Denver has done basically right. They won five

216
00:10:29,559 –> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: to the last six by just condensing everything. That means

217
00:10:33,000 –> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: there’s very little chance for air. It can’t be the

218
00:10:36,040 –> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: holding call that just throws a one drive off, or

219
00:10:38,760 –> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 1: a drop that throws one drive off, or a red

220
00:10:40,960 –> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: zone lack of execution. So it puts a lot of

221
00:10:43,760 –> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: pressure on every play. But winning this game, I think

222
00:10:46,640 –> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: you’re all over it. Finding it means finding a brand

223
00:10:49,720 –> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: new awareness and concentration that how many snaps you get

224
00:10:53,080 –> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: seventy eighty have to be an unusual awareness on every snap,

225
00:10:58,160 –> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: especially playing a team this good and buffo who has

226
00:11:00,960 –> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: two weeks to prepare for you.

227
00:11:02,679 –> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: And one reason I think the Chiefs have a good

228
00:11:04,679 –> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 2: chance of doing that and achieving that is the mentality here.

229
00:11:08,080 –> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 2: It all sounds kind of cliche, but it’s real that

230
00:11:11,040 –> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 2: the Chiefs have been very good about not letting things

231
00:11:13,160 –> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 2: snowball during the Patrick Mahomes era because Mahomes is never

232
00:11:17,480 –> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: too high and never too low. When things are going

233
00:11:19,960 –> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: really well, he doesn’t, you know, get super into it

234
00:11:23,400 –> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 2: and basking how great he is. He doesn’t do that.

235
00:11:26,280 –> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: He just keeps going to the next opponent. When you

236
00:11:28,559 –> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 2: have the same mentality when you lose, that’s how you

237
00:11:31,000 –> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: get out of a rut. You’re not forcing things or

238
00:11:34,200 –> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 2: pressing too much. He says this basically at his media

239
00:11:37,240 –> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: the other day, where if the Chiefs go beat the

240
00:11:39,800 –> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: Bills nationally, everyone’s going to love the Chiefs again, right,

241
00:11:43,440 –> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: and then if they lose to so and so, everyone

242
00:11:45,400 –> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: will hate him again. You can’t worry about any of that,

243
00:11:47,840 –> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 2: and you can’t get down on yourself and dwell on

244
00:11:49,840 –> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 2: a loss. I truly believe you just have to see

245
00:11:52,040 –> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: what happened, why did things go wrong? Okay, let’s correct

246
00:11:55,160 –> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 2: those things to the best of our ability and get

247
00:11:57,240 –> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 2: after the next opponent.

248
00:11:58,320 –> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 3: That’s all you can do.

249
00:11:59,200 –> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 2: It’s a great lesson and for life, honestly, not just football.

250
00:12:02,280 –> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 2: And the Chiefs have been really good about that ever

251
00:12:04,240 –> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 2: since Mahomes got here, and frankly since Coach Reed got here.

252
00:12:06,600 –> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: We back in twenty thirteen and then Mahomes era. When

253
00:12:09,720 –> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 2: we lose a game, the Chiefs are sixteen and three

254
00:12:12,320 –> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: immediately after that game. That is not an accident, and

255
00:12:15,040 –> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 2: it’s not just because he’s really good on the field.

256
00:12:17,400 –> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: It’s because he has the mental wherewithal to turn the

257
00:12:21,040 –> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: page and get better and get after the next opponent.

258
00:12:24,160 –> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: And that’s the challenge here, and it’s a tough one.

259
00:12:26,120 –> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: I mean, the Bills are a lot better than their

260
00:12:28,320 –> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 2: record indicates. We know how good the Buffalo Bills are,

261
00:12:30,880 –> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 2: But I also think the Chiefs are a lot better

262
00:12:32,720 –> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: than what they’ve done in some of these losses. And

263
00:12:34,960 –> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 2: I’m confident they have the right mindset to get after

264
00:12:38,440 –> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: it and practice this week and to correct it against Buffalo.

265
00:12:41,240 –> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, the number the counteracts out of the Bills are

266
00:12:43,200 –> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: eight to oh after a bye since twenty fifteen. That’s

267
00:12:46,000 –> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: number one in the NFL. Mcdermot’s six and oh after

268
00:12:48,960 –> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: a buye. So you have this collision of Adams so

269
00:12:53,760 –> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: to speak, in this game. But again for the Chiefs

270
00:12:57,720 –> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: to find it. Now, let’s talk about the Bills defense.

271
00:13:00,480 –> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: While we’re talking about Patrick Mahomes and this chief Saw offense,

272
00:13:03,520 –> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: this Bill’s defense. They lose Matt Malano, that’s a giant piece.

273
00:13:07,880 –> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: They lose Tredevius White, also a good player, and yet

274
00:13:11,800 –> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: they’re fifth in the league in points allowed per game

275
00:13:14,960 –> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: and sixth in offensive points allowed. This is a team

276
00:13:19,040 –> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: they do it a little bit differently. They play a

277
00:13:20,600 –> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: lot of nickel eighty three percent of the time they’re

278
00:13:22,480 –> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: in nickel. They played as a base but they’re still

279
00:13:25,120 –> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: stingy to score on.

280
00:13:27,200 –> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: And it’s been kind of a roller coaster for them.

281
00:13:29,320 –> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 2: At times, they’re really really dominant, Like three times this

282
00:13:32,280 –> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 2: year they’ve held the opposition under ten points, but then

283
00:13:35,040 –> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: last week against the Eagles, they give up thirty seven points,

284
00:13:37,480 –> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: including the game winning drive.

285
00:13:39,480 –> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: It’s just kind of odd.

286
00:13:40,640 –> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: At times, you’re not really sure what you’ll get with

287
00:13:42,280 –> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: this Bill’s defense, but they are really talented. They have

288
00:13:44,760 –> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 2: the third most sacks in the NFL with forty one.

289
00:13:47,360 –> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: Now a quarter of those happened in one game against

290
00:13:50,160 –> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: the Commanders they had nine sacks.

291
00:13:52,320 –> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 3: Just crazy.

292
00:13:53,040 –> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 2: But they’ve pass rushers, I mean guys like Leonard Floyd

293
00:13:55,400 –> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 2: having a nice season nine and a half sacks this year,

294
00:13:58,240 –> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 2: aj Epanessa six and a half. At Oliver been around

295
00:14:01,760 –> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 2: a while he has six sacks. One thing I’m kind

296
00:14:04,400 –> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 2: of watching in this game, though, is the Bills blitz rate.

297
00:14:07,120 –> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 2: Now they’re kind of middle of the pack as it

298
00:14:08,640 –> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 2: is when it comes to blitzing, but they really don’t

299
00:14:10,800 –> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: like blitzing Patrick Mahomes. I went back and did all

300
00:14:13,760 –> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: the math. So Mahomes has five matchups against them, two

301
00:14:17,000 –> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty six drop backs. They’ve blitzed twenty nine times.

302
00:14:20,760 –> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 2: They just don’t blitz them. The game and the Rain

303
00:14:22,920 –> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: that we lost a couple of years ago in twenty

304
00:14:24,720 –> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 2: twenty one, didn’t blitz at all. Didn’t blitz them one time.

305
00:14:27,840 –> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: They’ve blitzed him more than ten times, just once, and

306
00:14:30,360 –> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: that was way back in twenty twenty. I think it

307
00:14:33,120 –> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: was the AFC Championship game. So they don’t blitz Patrick Mahomes.

308
00:14:36,680 –> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: They are relying on their front four to get pressure.

309
00:14:39,600 –> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: This seems very obvious, but for the Chiefs offensive line,

310
00:14:42,640 –> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 2: you can’t let the Bills front four get home.

311
00:14:44,440 –> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 3: You just can’t.

312
00:14:45,120 –> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 2: You have to make sure that he has time in

313
00:14:46,440 –> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: the pocket to find guys downfield, because if the Bills

314
00:14:49,160 –> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 2: find success with just their front four, that’s where their

315
00:14:51,720 –> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 2: defense is really dangerous.

316
00:14:53,360 –> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: Also have visions of sugar plums dancing in my head,

317
00:14:57,080 –> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: but I also have visions going back to twenty twenty.

318
00:14:59,280 –> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: You triggered a thought, but Clyde Edwards Hilaire at one

319
00:15:01,640 –> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty four yards rushing on these guys in

320
00:15:04,120 –> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: the last game that was played in Buffalo. If you

321
00:15:06,280 –> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: remember the Bills mafia going, when do we ever get

322
00:15:08,200 –> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: to play him in Buffalo?

323
00:15:09,360 –> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 3: This has been kan City cancer every year.

324
00:15:11,200 –> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, but this is a team again that plays eighty

325
00:15:15,600 –> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: three percent nickel and they don’t blitz a lot.

326
00:15:17,960 –> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 3: They’re twenty sixth in the league.

327
00:15:19,440 –> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: They only blitz twenty three percent of the time, and

328
00:15:21,880 –> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: they really dial it down when they’re playing Mahomes. But

329
00:15:25,840 –> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: can you run the ball on this team? And can

330
00:15:28,840 –> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: you run it with consistency and whether that’s I know

331
00:15:32,040 –> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: Pop misspracticed earlier this week Isaiah Pacheco, But can you

332
00:15:35,080 –> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: get him rolling or somebody else rolling in the run

333
00:15:39,040 –> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: game against this team? Now that’s a stout defensive front.

334
00:15:41,880 –> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: I don’t know if you mentioned Greg Russou or not.

335
00:15:44,160 –> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: He had the awesome his only career interception against the

336
00:15:46,600 –> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs on the tip pass. That was awesome against Mahomes.

337
00:15:50,120 –> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: But everything you’re saying to me also leads to the

338
00:15:54,080 –> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: point of running the ball enough or at a very

339
00:15:56,840 –> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: high level.

340
00:15:57,720 –> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, hopefully Pacheco can play. He has that shoulder can tusion.

341
00:16:01,000 –> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: But I think you’re totally right that when the Chiefs

342
00:16:03,480 –> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: kind of found a groove in the third quarter last week,

343
00:16:05,520 –> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: when it really felt like the Chiefs were going to

344
00:16:06,960 –> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: win that game and come from behind, it’s when they

345
00:16:09,040 –> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: were running the football with a lot of success. Isaiah

346
00:16:12,040 –> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 2: had maybe the best game of his career. It was

347
00:16:14,520 –> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 2: the second most rushing yards he’s ever had in a game,

348
00:16:16,720 –> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 2: hit one hundred and ten rushing yards. But what’s interesting

349
00:16:19,160 –> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 2: about it, he didn’t have like one eighty yard run.

350
00:16:21,880 –> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 2: You know, sometimes like the box scot doesn’t tell the

351
00:16:24,720 –> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: full story. He was just getting five yards, four yards,

352
00:16:28,400 –> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 2: six yards over and over again. Ten of his eighteen

353
00:16:31,280 –> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: rushes went for at least five yards. That’s a really

354
00:16:34,480 –> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 2: efficient night. He was averaging over four yards after contact,

355
00:16:38,240 –> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 2: so guys just weren’t able to tackle him. There was

356
00:16:40,560 –> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 2: that one awesome play where he pushed the pile for

357
00:16:42,720 –> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 2: like eight yards. The best, I mean, just the best.

358
00:16:45,360 –> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 2: I mean, that’s nineteen eighties football. If the Chiefs can

359
00:16:48,680 –> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 2: get that kind of production out of their backfield, very

360
00:16:51,720 –> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: difficult to beat them. Now, the Packers, they played a

361
00:16:54,200 –> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: great game, I again give them credit, but more often

362
00:16:57,160 –> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 2: than not, if the Chiefs are able to run the

363
00:16:58,800 –> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: ball like that it’s going. I mean, guys downfield are

364
00:17:01,400 –> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 2: open because the defense has to account for that ability

365
00:17:06,160 –> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 2: as a runner.

366
00:17:06,920 –> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 3: So I’m totally with you. It’s a couple weeks in.

367
00:17:09,600 –> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: A row now that Isaiah has really been a force

368
00:17:12,640 –> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 2: and established a physicality up front, and it goes hand

369
00:17:16,320 –> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 2: in hand with the offensive line. So yeah, I think

370
00:17:19,240 –> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: the key to beating the Bills offensively And it goes

371
00:17:21,600 –> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 2: with my thoughts earlier about being efficient, eating up clock,

372
00:17:25,160 –> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 2: limiting possessions for the Bills, run the football and wear

373
00:17:28,359 –> 00:17:31,239
Speaker 2: them out, and if Pacheco can play, he certainly has

374
00:17:31,240 –> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 2: the ability to do that.

375
00:17:32,400 –> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: And being technique sound, tech nique sound. I know you

376
00:17:35,520 –> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: had Tray Smith on after the game, but that group

377
00:17:38,560 –> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: tech niks sound, including the tight ends. The tight ends

378
00:17:41,760 –> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: in this game not just a receivers, but as blockers,

379
00:17:44,760 –> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: all three of them, all three of them being technique sound,

380
00:17:47,680 –> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: not the holds like they had on the sweep against

381
00:17:50,760 –> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: the Eagles, which ended up being a critical play. So

382
00:17:53,720 –> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: technique sound is big here. And trying to run the ball.

383
00:17:57,240 –> 00:17:59,239
Speaker 1: I loved the run by Pacheko. One of the things

384
00:17:59,280 –> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: I missed about doing that game my first miss and

385
00:18:01,440 –> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: thirty seasons was that play. I was gonna go nuts

386
00:18:04,160 –> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: on that, right, because I said the Eagles could have

387
00:18:06,240 –> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: the tush push all they want. I was thinking, what

388
00:18:08,440 –> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: am I gonna call this the pop glop? Right, it’s

389
00:18:11,040 –> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: a glop. I’m making up a word because it’s this

390
00:18:13,000 –> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: glop of bodies and it was all the other team.

391
00:18:15,520 –> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: It was all the Packers and Pop just just dragging me, right,

392
00:18:19,160 –> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: and then the Chiefs offensive line would come up and push.

393
00:18:21,320 –> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: But this wasn’t tush push. This was Pop going give me,

394
00:18:24,640 –> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: I’ll take the entire Packer nation forward for five yards.

395
00:18:28,160 –> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: I mean, he’s an unusual guy and he’s rude to close.

396
00:18:31,240 –> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: I hope he can play this week. We have not

397
00:18:33,560 –> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: had a thousand yard rusher since twenty seventeen, since Kareem Hunt. Okay,

398
00:18:38,680 –> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: and it’s he’s right there, man, and he’s right there

399
00:18:42,560 –> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: to pop some no pun intended, some pop some big runs.

400
00:18:45,920 –> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: But I just think, man, that could be a key

401
00:18:47,680 –> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: in this game.

402
00:18:48,440 –> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 2: He’s two hundred and twenty one yards away with five

403
00:18:51,119 –> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 2: games left. Again, hopefully he can go this week, but

404
00:18:53,840 –> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 2: he’s right there, and to have a one thousand yard

405
00:18:56,200 –> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 2: rusher in this offense to really help this offense get

406
00:18:58,800 –> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 2: ahead of the chains, to establish that physicality up front.

407
00:19:02,320 –> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 3: It just changes everything.

408
00:19:04,000 –> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 2: I just really think that offense that we saw in

409
00:19:06,000 –> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 2: the third quarter, that’s what this team can be. It

410
00:19:08,720 –> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: opens up everything else and it wears the defense out.

411
00:19:12,240 –> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 2: And if he can do that the rest of the year,

412
00:19:14,600 –> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: that’s December, January, and February football right there.

413
00:19:19,160 –> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 3: We lost. I get it. It’s a bummer. I mean,

414
00:19:21,840 –> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 3: it was a heartbreaker.

415
00:19:22,760 –> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 2: The Chiefs had the game and they lost it, but

416
00:19:25,240 –> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 2: there were positive things that came out of it. And

417
00:19:27,560 –> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 2: his ability to run the football and how the offense

418
00:19:29,760 –> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 2: looked in that third quarter is certainly one of those

419
00:19:32,080 –> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: encouraging things.

420
00:19:33,000 –> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 3: Is glop a word it is? Now? You just coined it?

421
00:19:36,000 –> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: Thank you? Yeah, there we go. I know slop is.

422
00:19:38,920 –> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: I thought about pop slop. I go, no, that’s not

423
00:19:41,760 –> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: that’s not endearing enough. But a pop glop is because

424
00:19:45,119 –> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: I think we’re gonna we haven’t seen the last of

425
00:19:46,960 –> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: a pop glop of just him carrying bodies forward.

426
00:19:50,680 –> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 2: Well, I’m thinking, like, if you were calling that play

427
00:19:52,720 –> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 2: and if I was spotting for you, that would be

428
00:19:54,240 –> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 2: one of those things that you just like grabbed my

429
00:19:56,080 –> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 2: shoulder and like just shake it back and forth, and

430
00:19:59,440 –> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: the GoPro up there and sees me just silently celebrating

431
00:20:02,640 –> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: like a maniac.

432
00:20:03,760 –> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 3: I love it. That’s what I missed on Sunday.

433
00:20:06,800 –> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: You know, that’s why we didn’t win that game. I know,

434
00:20:08,640 –> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: you know, that’s the reason. I know, Okay, we’ll close

435
00:20:11,480 –> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: it out this way. Just a lot on the line here.

436
00:20:13,280 –> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: The Bills probably get knocked out of the playoffs in

437
00:20:16,440 –> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: a year. They’re going what we were plus one hundred

438
00:20:19,359 –> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: and point differential and didn’t make the playoffs. If they

439
00:20:22,000 –> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: lose this game, it tells you where their head is at.

440
00:20:24,440 –> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: And the fact that they’ve got two weeks to prepare

441
00:20:26,840 –> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs, the one seeds in play. What a

442
00:20:30,000 –> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 1: year in the AFC. Trevor Lawrence gets hurt. Joe Burrow,

443
00:20:33,880 –> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow gets hurt. And here the Ravens had the

444
00:20:36,640 –> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: toughest schedule remaining of any team in the league, and

445
00:20:40,200 –> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: the one seeds in play. But I’m not saying you

446
00:20:44,160 –> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: have to win this game, but the probabilities are there

447
00:20:47,560 –> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: to win this game. Win this game and you can

448
00:20:49,400 –> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: still get the one seed, maybe even have the driver’s

449
00:20:51,280 –> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: seat again.

450
00:20:52,600 –> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: What I love about the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid.

451
00:20:55,280 –> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 2: They’re not looking too far ahead. They’re looking just at

452
00:20:57,320 –> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 2: this game. But you and I can look ahead and

453
00:20:59,320 –> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 2: we see how the schedules look and everything. This is

454
00:21:02,920 –> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 2: a big one. It’s important. Everything is still right there

455
00:21:05,960 –> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs. I cannot emphasize that enough. It is

456
00:21:08,280 –> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 2: right there for the Chiefs because of the position they

457
00:21:10,680 –> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 2: have put themselves in this year.

458
00:21:13,119 –> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 3: But there are five games left. It is December.

459
00:21:15,880 –> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: This is historically when the Chiefs put their foot on

460
00:21:18,320 –> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 2: the gas pedal, and this is when the Chiefs leave

461
00:21:20,480 –> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 2: everyone else in the dust. That’s why we’ve been to

462
00:21:22,200 –> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 2: five straight AFC title games here at home. That’s why

463
00:21:24,800 –> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 2: we’ve been to three Super Bowls and one two of them.

464
00:21:27,200 –> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 2: It’s because of how they start playing right now. And
