1
00:00:00,520 –> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: For the third time in four post seasons, the Buffalo

2
00:00:05,200 –> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: Bills and Kansas City Chiefs will meet, although this time

3
00:00:09,560 –> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park, New York. The Chiefs get an incredible

4
00:00:13,200 –> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: triumph in a victory in the coldest day ever at

5
00:00:16,360 –> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: Gha Field at Arrowhead Stadium of the Miami Dolphins that

6
00:00:19,480 –> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: gets them a trip to Buffalo as the number two

7
00:00:22,160 –> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: seed meets the number three seed, and of course, defending

8
00:00:25,680 –> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: the Kingdom is brought to you by Ticketmaster.

9
00:00:29,600 –> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: Mahomes does right.

10
00:00:30,600 –> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 3: Side top rice at the five Island right touchdown Chanza

11
00:00:35,960 –> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 3: City rookie russ Hey rice his first postseason touchdown an

12
00:00:40,560 –> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 3: eleven yard crossing pattern, and just like Germany, the Chiefs

13
00:00:44,640 –> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 3: have an outstanding opening drive for a touchdown to start

14
00:00:48,080 –> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 3: the game. And Hi everyone, I’m Mitch Holta’s voice of

15
00:00:50,680 –> 00:00:53,639
Speaker 3: the Chiefs along with senior team reporter Mac McMullen.

16
00:00:53,680 –> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: And here we are again.

17
00:00:55,600 –> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: This feels like a Brady Peyton Manning esque kind of

18
00:01:00,600 –> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: battle here because Mahomes and Alan have some playoff history

19
00:01:05,080 –> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: and regular season history.

20
00:01:06,440 –> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, it really does.

21
00:01:07,600 –> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 5: I think as soon as we found out Mahomes was

22
00:01:10,000 –> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 5: going to be like this kind of player, this all

23
00:01:13,040 –> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 5: time kind of player. The very first thing that everyone

24
00:01:15,560 –> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 5: wants to do is figure out who his adversary is.

25
00:01:19,040 –> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 4: Who’s his villain?

26
00:01:20,560 –> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: Right and over Luthor to Superman, Yeah, because he is

27
00:01:23,440 –> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: Superman and Josh as Lex Luthor.

28
00:01:25,280 –> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 2: I like him, but you’re Lex Luthor. Sorry this week

29
00:01:27,360 –> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 2: for sure.

30
00:01:27,760 –> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

31
00:01:28,240 –> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 5: But like initially it was like, maybe Lamar Jackson’s that guy,

32
00:01:31,160 –> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 5: and in recent seasons, ay, maybe Joe Burrow is that guy.

33
00:01:34,240 –> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 5: But just based on the history and all of the matchups,

34
00:01:37,120 –> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 5: it really feels like Josh Allen is that guy. And

35
00:01:39,920 –> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 5: it’s also interesting because Mahomes and Allen are kind of

36
00:01:43,319 –> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 5: similar players in a lot of ways. They kind of

37
00:01:45,600 –> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 5: play this backyard style of football at such an elite

38
00:01:49,280 –> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 5: level that it works. You would never teach it to anyone,

39
00:01:52,600 –> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 5: but it works for them and their friends. Off the field.

40
00:01:55,840 –> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 5: They did the golf thing a couple of years ago.

41
00:01:57,600 –> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 5: There’s a lot of angles there. But yeah, I think

42
00:02:00,040 –> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 5: this is going to be just another one of many

43
00:02:02,440 –> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 5: matchups against the Bills and Josh Allen.

44
00:02:04,480 –> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 1: In the biggest moments, you could argue Lamar Jackson would

45
00:02:07,560 –> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: be in this conversation. But here’s where I’m going. These

46
00:02:09,880 –> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks are the best at making plays off schedule,

47
00:02:15,000 –> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen’s been braying he was in the Pittsburgh

48
00:02:17,400 –> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: game in the wild card win. But we’ve seen Patrick

49
00:02:19,960 –> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: Mahomes do it since he became QB one and twenty eighteen.

50
00:02:24,520 –> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: So that’s what makes this game exciting because you have

51
00:02:27,480 –> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: no idea what’s coming even within the concept of one play,

52
00:02:31,440 –> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: and the play design may break down, but these two

53
00:02:33,440 –> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: quarterbacks can make it happen now before we go to

54
00:02:37,000 –> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: Orchard Park, New York, even in this podcast because we’re

55
00:02:40,520 –> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: entitling it another chapter. It’s just like the five times

56
00:02:44,400 –> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: that Manning met Brady in the postseason. Manning won the

57
00:02:47,639 –> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: last three. He was three and two against Tom Brady

58
00:02:49,639 –> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: in the postseason. Everything’s that Patriots won every game, yeah,

59
00:02:52,840 –> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: and every super Bowl they went from oh they went

60
00:02:55,200 –> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: from two thousand and five to twenty fourteen and didn’t

61
00:02:58,760 –> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl a decade.

62
00:03:00,919 –> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 4: It was really two runs.

63
00:03:02,080 –> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 5: They had their run where they won the beginning of

64
00:03:03,919 –> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 5: four and then they did it again ten years later.

65
00:03:06,760 –> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 2: Winning three or five.

66
00:03:07,880 –> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, three of five.

67
00:03:08,680 –> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

68
00:03:08,880 –> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 5: But people, you’re right, think that the Patriots just won

69
00:03:10,960 –> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 5: every single super Bowl.

70
00:03:11,960 –> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: They didn’t, And Peyton Manning’s gonna wait a minute, I

71
00:03:13,960 –> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: was I had a winning record in the playoffs against

72
00:03:15,639 –> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Okay, that being said, let’s take a trip

73
00:03:19,080 –> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: in the space station that is fueled by Matt McMullen

74
00:03:22,480 –> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: as he’s thawed now from the minus five minus twenty

75
00:03:25,560 –> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: eight wind chill game against the Miami Dolphins.

76
00:03:28,280 –> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: Let’s take a trip around the world.

77
00:03:29,400 –> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 4: Hold on, we need to talk about how ridiculous that was.

78
00:03:31,880 –> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 5: Which ridiculous field pass before the game and I had

79
00:03:34,800 –> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 5: like a full like face mask on, and I was

80
00:03:37,600 –> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 5: down there kind of getting acclimated, and I was thinking,

81
00:03:40,240 –> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 5: this isn’t so bad. And then when I took the

82
00:03:42,600 –> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 5: mask off to do field pass, I put the headset on.

83
00:03:45,920 –> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 5: All of a sudden, I’m like, I’ve never been this

84
00:03:48,040 –> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 5: cold before in my life. And I was thinking, like,

85
00:03:51,000 –> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 5: how cold can it really be?

86
00:03:52,360 –> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: Like?

87
00:03:52,480 –> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 4: How cold is cold? It was so cold.

88
00:03:55,440 –> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 5: I can’t believe that the whole event was able to

89
00:03:58,480 –> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 5: go on the way it did. And I mean, the

90
00:04:00,520 –> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 5: crowd was unbelievable, weren’t they. I mean, for those fans

91
00:04:03,040 –> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 5: to power through that and to create the atmosphere that

92
00:04:05,120 –> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 5: they did was incredible.

93
00:04:07,520 –> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: I used the word triumph earlier.

94
00:04:09,120 –> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: A friend of mine it was on Sunday said that

95
00:04:11,880 –> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: was a triumph, and I thought, you know, that’s a

96
00:04:13,320 –> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: perfect word. That’s why I put it on Twitter that way,

97
00:04:16,960 –> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: because I’ve never been prouder in my thirty years of

98
00:04:19,600 –> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: a team to play in those conditions and to handle

99
00:04:22,800 –> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: those conditions that well. Because, like we said on field

100
00:04:25,400 –> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: Pass Matt, everybody that touched the ball, that’s what coach

101
00:04:28,279 –> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: said on the radio pregame show, that means Winchester, that

102
00:04:32,160 –> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: means Tommy Townsend kicking the ball. I was talking to

103
00:04:36,360 –> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: Harrison Bucker aft of the game. I mean his leg

104
00:04:39,120 –> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: and foot were like black and blue because he was

105
00:04:41,640 –> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: kicking ice and a big, huge ice sculpture basically every time.

106
00:04:47,120 –> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: But the way that the offensive players handle it, and

107
00:04:49,279 –> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: especially Patrick Mahomes, Yeah, we’ve seen so much toughness Matt

108
00:04:52,680 –> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: from him, but for him to play at that level

109
00:04:55,120 –> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: and those conditions was a whole other level.

110
00:04:57,640 –> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: To me, He’s just the best.

111
00:05:00,080 –> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 5: And you can look at numbers and stats, we love

112
00:05:02,480 –> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 5: doing that, and all of those illustrate how good he

113
00:05:05,200 –> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 5: has been in his career already. But when you watch

114
00:05:08,279 –> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 5: the game, you watch how he takes his play to

115
00:05:10,560 –> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 5: an even higher level in frankly, almost impossible conditions in

116
00:05:15,279 –> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 5: a playoff game. He is just the best player on

117
00:05:18,360 –> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 5: the field and you can just tell, you just feel it,

118
00:05:21,000 –> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 5: and he’s going to do whatever it takes to win.

119
00:05:23,320 –> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 5: And I’m just so glad we have that guy on

120
00:05:25,120 –> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 5: our team because I can’t imagine playing against him.

121
00:05:28,480 –> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: Well, and as I put on that tweet, it was

122
00:05:32,680 –> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: more than just a single playoff victory. It’s a standalone

123
00:05:36,720 –> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: game in and of itself winning in the postseason. But

124
00:05:40,640 –> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: to do it how the Chiefs did it in those

125
00:05:42,600 –> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: conditions is just kind of set aside in its own

126
00:05:45,520 –> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: special place.

127
00:05:46,279 –> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 5: Well, how about some Mahomes fun facts here while we’re

128
00:05:49,040 –> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 5: getting off on a tangent, because that’s what we do

129
00:05:50,800 –> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 5: here on DTK. So, Mahomes pasted Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman,

130
00:05:55,720 –> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 5: and Aaron Rodgers in terms of career playoff wins on Saturday.

131
00:05:59,440 –> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 5: Past them, he has more playoff wins than those three players.

132
00:06:02,640 –> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 5: Here are the only quarterbacks in NFL history with more

133
00:06:05,839 –> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 5: postseason wins than twenty eight year old Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady,

134
00:06:10,960 –> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 5: Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw, John Elway, Peyton Manning, Brett Farv

135
00:06:16,200 –> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 5: and Ben Roethlisberger and Big Ben and Brett Farv have thirteen,

136
00:06:19,960 –> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 5: So if the Chiefs can win this weekend, he’ll match

137
00:06:22,480 –> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 5: those two players. So we all know this. We know

138
00:06:25,839 –> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 5: that Patrick Mahomes is already one of the greatest players

139
00:06:28,920 –> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 5: to ever play this game. But every time he makes

140
00:06:31,520 –> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 5: a playoff, start kind of think about your surroundings. Soak

141
00:06:34,680 –> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 5: it in and think about it. You’re watching one of

142
00:06:37,040 –> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 5: the greatest to ever do it in his prime. So

143
00:06:39,920 –> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 5: pretty special.

144
00:06:41,560 –> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: And again we said it on the post game when

145
00:06:45,000 –> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: we were doing rewind, but this franchise is now twenty

146
00:06:47,839 –> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: one and twenty one in the postseason. Before Andy Reid

147
00:06:50,720 –> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: got here, they had eight postseason wins, and twelve of

148
00:06:53,080 –> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: those thirteen Andy Reid wins here are Patrick Mahomes. And

149
00:06:56,560 –> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: I think he’s only five off or four off being

150
00:06:58,920 –> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: second because he’s c a in fast On Montana sixteen,

151
00:07:02,600 –> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: So I’m telling you that he’s right there, So four

152
00:07:05,320 –> 00:07:09,239
Speaker 1: ties Joe Montana. That puts everything in perspective as well.

153
00:07:09,279 –> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: But I know you’ve got a space station ready to

154
00:07:11,360 –> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: take off and fly around the world.

155
00:07:12,840 –> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 2: I do. I do.

156
00:07:13,400 –> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 5: We could talk about Patrick mahomes historical numbers forever because

157
00:07:16,720 –> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 5: if they Chee and Kelsey, Yeah, because I mean Kelsey

158
00:07:20,120 –> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 5: is Jerry Rice.

159
00:07:21,120 –> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 4: That’s what he is.

160
00:07:21,960 –> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 5: Historically, twenty years from now, they will look at Travis

161
00:07:24,800 –> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 5: Kelce like they look at Jerry Rice now, which is crazy.

162
00:07:29,000 –> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: He’s right there one two one two one two and

163
00:07:31,760 –> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: receiving yards, catches and touchdowns on the postseason. It’s not

164
00:07:35,560 –> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: tight end list now, and it’s not wide receiver list.

165
00:07:38,880 –> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: It’s past catcher dude’s list, and it’s Rice Kelsey, Rice Kelsey,

166
00:07:42,920 –> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: Rice Kelsey. And he’s closing in on Jerry Rice.

167
00:07:45,960 –> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

168
00:07:46,240 –> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 5: He sure is just an amazing run of success. And

169
00:07:49,000 –> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 5: that’s a good transition into my around the world because

170
00:07:51,280 –> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 5: I have six for you today in honor of a

171
00:07:54,640 –> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 5: sixth straight season, the Chiefs have gone to the divisional

172
00:07:57,240 –> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 5: round of the playoffs now since nineteen ninety that’s when

173
00:08:00,640 –> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 5: the second wild card was introduced. That is the third

174
00:08:03,120 –> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 5: longest streak in league history of going to the divisional

175
00:08:06,480 –> 00:08:09,239
Speaker 5: round every single year. The only streaks that are longer

176
00:08:09,600 –> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 5: are the twenty ten to twenty eighteen Patriots they did

177
00:08:12,400 –> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 5: it nine straight years, and the nineteen ninety two to

178
00:08:15,120 –> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 5: ninety eight San Francisco forty nine Ers did it seven

179
00:08:18,040 –> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 5: straight years. Then it’s the Chiefs going to six straight

180
00:08:21,160 –> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 5: divisional rounds of the postseason, so remarkable. Gotta not take

181
00:08:26,000 –> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 5: this for granted because, as that illustrates, this does not

182
00:08:28,760 –> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 5: happen very often. All Right, six people from around the

183
00:08:31,320 –> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 5: world were finally to that point. Now we have a

184
00:08:33,760 –> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 5: listener from Germany. I don’t have their name, but shout

185
00:08:36,240 –> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 5: out to everyone listening from Germany. I was on RTL,

186
00:08:39,240 –> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 5: which is like German public television prior to the game.

187
00:08:42,440 –> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 5: I made my German television debut. I did a report

188
00:08:44,880 –> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 5: for German television which was pretty cool. Yep, Trey is

189
00:08:50,080 –> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 5: listening from Visalia, California. Trey moved to Lee’s Summit in

190
00:08:53,880 –> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 5: the eighties and only lived in the area for a

191
00:08:56,080 –> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 5: few years. But get this, so Bill Kenney lived across

192
00:08:59,840 –> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 5: the street from Trey, and Todd Blackledge lived down the road,

193
00:09:03,840 –> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 5: so he became a Chiefs fan for life, even though

194
00:09:05,920 –> 00:09:08,599
Speaker 5: he moved back to California and has been representing the

195
00:09:08,640 –> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 5: Kingdom out there in Raider Country ever since. So shout

196
00:09:11,400 –> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 5: out to Trey.

197
00:09:12,520 –> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: I hope he’s got his old receiver gloves, yes, don’t

198
00:09:15,320 –> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: you know? And that they had did some seven on

199
00:09:16,800 –> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: seven in the backyard somehow, well.

200
00:09:18,520 –> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 5: And especially in that day and age, like, Hey, Todd,

201
00:09:20,559 –> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 5: do you want to throw the ball around?

202
00:09:21,640 –> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 2: Like? I love it?

203
00:09:23,760 –> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 5: Shout out to Pam. So I’m like the leader of

204
00:09:27,720 –> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 5: this charge of what Pam did. She successfully converted her

205
00:09:31,040 –> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 5: husband from a Broncos fan into.

206
00:09:32,640 –> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 4: A Chiefs fan.

207
00:09:33,640 –> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 2: Well, that sounds familiar exactly.

208
00:09:35,400 –> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 5: So if we have any first time listeners, my wife

209
00:09:38,000 –> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 5: was originally a Broncos fan, grew up in Boulder, Colorado.

210
00:09:40,920 –> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 5: I have successfully converted her into a Chiefs fan. There’s

211
00:09:44,120 –> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 5: a lot of people out there that have done this,

212
00:09:46,880 –> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 5: So shout out to Pam.

213
00:09:47,960 –> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: I love Chief Kingdom evangelism, one of my favorite things.

214
00:09:50,920 –> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 5: Yep, they see the light. It’s a beautiful thing. So

215
00:09:53,800 –> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 5: they live in Arizona. That made the truck to Kansas

216
00:09:55,840 –> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 5: City for the win over the Bengals a few weeks ago,

217
00:09:57,800 –> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 5: and that was a fun game. That was like a

218
00:09:59,240 –> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 5: playoff atmosphe your kind of game. So shout out to you, Pam.

219
00:10:02,320 –> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 2: Good job.

220
00:10:03,400 –> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 5: Ironically, shout out to Mike and Denver, Colorado. Mike representing

221
00:10:06,600 –> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 5: the Kingdom out there in Broncos Country. Then people, a

222
00:10:09,920 –> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 5: few people I met in person, I met Dwayne at

223
00:10:12,280 –> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 5: Chiefs fit an ovaland Park. So Stephanie Judah, who is

224
00:10:15,960 –> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 5: our director of Entertainment Teams here at the Chiefs, which

225
00:10:18,559 –> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 5: includes the cheerleading squad, asked me to go out and

226
00:10:21,760 –> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 5: speak to the cheerleaders if they had any questions about

227
00:10:24,080 –> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 5: the postseason and scenarios and all this stuff, because it’s

228
00:10:26,600 –> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 5: all you and I do is bury our noses and

229
00:10:28,559 –> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 5: this stuff. So I went out and gave a presentation.

230
00:10:30,760 –> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: It was a tough job, you know, somebody has to

231
00:10:32,559 –> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: do that. Someone has to do wait to go man,

232
00:10:35,400 –> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: wait to just like step out there and go, hey,

233
00:10:37,160 –> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: I’ll do that.

234
00:10:37,679 –> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: I gave it.

235
00:10:38,080 –> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 5: I gave the presentation. Time I met Dwayne at the

236
00:10:41,040 –> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 5: front desk. Awesome guy watches all our shows. So shout

237
00:10:43,400 –> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 5: out to you, Dwayne. And then lastly, this is one

238
00:10:45,480 –> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 5: for you, so shout out to David. I met David

239
00:10:49,160 –> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 5: on Friday when I was frantically trying to purchase winter

240
00:10:52,320 –> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 5: weather gear. I bought some snow pants and David helped

241
00:10:56,320 –> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 5: check me out and it turns out he had an

242
00:10:59,600 –> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 5: experiences with you. So years and years ago, when you

243
00:11:02,440 –> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 5: were the Voice of k State, you apparently ran out

244
00:11:05,640 –> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 5: of gas trying to get to Abilene, Kansas.

245
00:11:08,000 –> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: I did in David, one of the many times I

246
00:11:10,200 –> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 2: ran out of gas.

247
00:11:10,960 –> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 4: Yep, and David drove you all the way to Abilene

248
00:11:12,840 –> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 4: from Manhattan.

249
00:11:14,120 –> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

250
00:11:14,480 –> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that reminds me of when I had an interview

251
00:11:16,360 –> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: actually to be the Voice of the Bears. It was

252
00:11:19,080 –> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: it was so you you’re thinking the coldest you ever felt?

253
00:11:21,800 –> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 2: Do you think so? You think that was the coldest

254
00:11:23,559 –> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 2: I’ve ever been? Okay, I would say it’s third for me.

255
00:11:27,160 –> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: The first was when it was minus eighteen reel temperature

256
00:11:30,559 –> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 1: and I had an interview to be the Voice of

257
00:11:32,640 –> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: the Bears. I’m trying to get to WGN in Chicago.

258
00:11:35,440 –> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: I’m doing k State. Then my car totally freezes up.

259
00:11:38,679 –> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: But mile marker won nine to six on the Turnpike.

260
00:11:43,040 –> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: It’s right at the La Compton exit near Lawrence. Yeah,

261
00:11:45,679 –> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: and I can’t get out. I mean, I’d have hypothermia

262
00:11:47,679 –> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: and die and nobody will stop, and I’m in a panic.

263
00:11:51,080 –> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: I got to get to a plane to get to Chicago,

264
00:11:53,000 –> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: and a guy stopped and I just gave him all

265
00:11:55,120 –> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: the money I had and I said, hey, just get

266
00:11:56,840 –> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: me there. He gets me to the airport. I get

267
00:11:59,760 –> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: to hair. This guy’s driving me down a sidewalk to

268
00:12:03,440 –> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: get the WGN on time, and I have this interview

269
00:12:05,600 –> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 1: with the biggest interview in my life to be the

270
00:12:07,520 –> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: voice of the Chicago Bears, and I didn’t get it.

271
00:12:11,320 –> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: So then I’m thinking, what’s happened in my car on

272
00:12:14,360 –> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: the turnpike because I got to come back and I’m

273
00:12:16,440 –> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: actually doing an event for Bill Snyder at CA State

274
00:12:19,920 –> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: and I got to make it back for that from Chicago.

275
00:12:22,400 –> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 5: Wow.

276
00:12:22,960 –> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: So I’m in a tow truck because they said your car,

277
00:12:29,040 –> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: So I get a guy to drive me to my car.

278
00:12:33,400 –> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: So they’re going to tow my car. So I’m in

279
00:12:36,400 –> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: the tow.

280
00:12:36,679 –> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 1: Truck with the car to get it to Topeka so I

281
00:12:38,720 –> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: can get another car to get to Manhattan.

282
00:12:41,160 –> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 2: And the tow.

283
00:12:41,800 –> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: Truck’s engine blows out. You’re kidding, No, I’m not making

284
00:12:44,600 –> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: this off. This is planes, trains, and automobiles. This all

285
00:12:46,840 –> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: happens on one day of my life. So the moral

286
00:12:50,720 –> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: of the story is I froze to death, almost froze

287
00:12:54,080 –> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: to death, and too, I didn’t get the Bears job,

288
00:12:56,240 –> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: so I got the Chiefs job.

289
00:12:57,520 –> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 2: It’s even better. So it makes me appreciate it.

290
00:12:59,240 –> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 5: I’m sure at the time you’re disappointed, there are hundreds

291
00:13:02,679 –> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 5: of thousands of people out there that are quite glad

292
00:13:04,800 –> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 5: it worked out that way. You should not be the

293
00:13:06,800 –> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 5: voice of the Chicago Bears, the voice of the Chiefs.

294
00:13:09,520 –> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: But when the tow trucks engine blew, I just started laughing,

295
00:13:12,440 –> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: that’s the universe telling Now I’ve been stressed all day.

296
00:13:14,320 –> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: Can you imagine what that that interview was like with

297
00:13:16,200 –> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: like the Bears brass and stuff like, you know, I

298
00:13:18,400 –> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: touched the ghost. Yeah, this is George Hallis and so

299
00:13:22,720 –> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: it was like, wow, okay, but yeah, that was the

300
00:13:25,720 –> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: longest day. But there was another time growing up when

301
00:13:28,920 –> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: you grew up in rural Kansas. Yeah, you have to

302
00:13:31,160 –> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: take care of livestock in this and I mean it

303
00:13:33,400 –> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: was chopping ice. Uh, and wow, it made me appreciate

304
00:13:37,760 –> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: when we were down there doing that show. I was

305
00:13:40,080 –> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: thinking in the back of my mind of all the

306
00:13:41,679 –> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: folks in the Chiefs Kingdom who are listening to this podcast.

307
00:13:44,800 –> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: A lot of them who have to handle the elements.

308
00:13:47,559 –> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: They don’t have the choice just to stay inside because

309
00:13:50,559 –> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: they have animals to take care of. And believe me,

310
00:13:54,360 –> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: as a youth, that was the second coldest. This would

311
00:13:57,040 –> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: be the third cold.

312
00:13:57,840 –> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I’m a city kid. I was super cold on

313
00:14:00,280 –> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 4: Saturday night.

314
00:14:00,960 –> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: I was cold too.

315
00:14:02,160 –> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: I don’t think I was like, oh, I was freezing

316
00:14:05,520 –> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: and I had a little bit of water, right, it

317
00:14:07,080 –> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: was taking immediately froze. I worked out of the tunnel.

318
00:14:09,880 –> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: It is like immediately froze like a Disney movie. And

319
00:14:12,360 –> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: it was just like, oh my gosh, how cold is it?

320
00:14:14,360 –> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: And then my face never really felt right.

321
00:14:17,960 –> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 2: I don’t think.

322
00:14:19,280 –> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: No, save the emails or tweets, but it was that

323
00:14:22,720 –> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: was crazy. How do we get on this path?

324
00:14:25,880 –> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 5: This is what we do well?

325
00:14:27,200 –> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 4: Because David drove you from a Yeah, I forgot that.

326
00:14:30,400 –> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 2: Thank you, David.

327
00:14:31,120 –> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, he drove you all the way.

328
00:14:32,240 –> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 2: I drove it to gas wow.

329
00:14:33,800 –> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, well the many times I run out of gas,

330
00:14:36,720 –> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: thank you, David.

331
00:14:37,960 –> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: You have more more people that have saved my lunch.

332
00:14:40,080 –> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 4: I’m sure they’re out there. Please reach out to us.

333
00:14:42,040 –> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

334
00:14:42,760 –> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 5: When he told me the story, I wasn’t surprised at

335
00:14:44,480 –> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 5: all because you’re always going one hundred miles per hour

336
00:14:46,960 –> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 5: wherever you’re going, and it’s like I have no gas,

337
00:14:49,880 –> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 5: and luckily there are people who are out there that

338
00:14:51,680 –> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 5: are trying to help and you didn’t miss a beat.

339
00:14:54,440 –> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 4: So anyway, that’s what we’ve got for the day. I

340
00:14:55,800 –> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 4: thought you’d like that one.

341
00:14:56,840 –> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yeah, and.

342
00:15:00,160 –> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah so many times and we’re talking survival here. But

343
00:15:03,640 –> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: now here we go, we’re calling this another chapter. But

344
00:15:06,320 –> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: we got to give some props here to the Buffalo Bills. Yeah,

345
00:15:09,000 –> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: when they came here on the ninth of December, now

346
00:15:11,720 –> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: they had two weeks to get ready for the Chiefs.

347
00:15:13,680 –> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: And going back to that December the tenth game, I

348
00:15:16,440 –> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: was reviewing it, that seems like two years ago. I mean,

349
00:15:20,440 –> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: that stretch from when we came off the Germany to

350
00:15:24,840 –> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: the end of the regular season in the game against

351
00:15:27,560 –> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: the Chargers just seems like and I know I had COVID,

352
00:15:30,560 –> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: I missed the game against Green Bay, but that was

353
00:15:33,080 –> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: one of the toughest stretches really over the last several years,

354
00:15:37,280 –> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: I thought. But now Buffalo was six and six when

355
00:15:40,720 –> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: they came to Kansas City. Their chances of winning the

356
00:15:42,960 –> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: AFC East was five percent. Miami was steamroll into the

357
00:15:46,560 –> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: division title, and the Bills give them credit when the

358
00:15:50,280 –> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: last five regular season games they win the wildcard game

359
00:15:52,760 –> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: over Pittsburgh. But this is a team that you have

360
00:15:55,560 –> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: to respect for what they got done in that difficult

361
00:15:58,640 –> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: point of the season.

362
00:15:59,400 –> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 5: Absolutely, and I think because we’ve played the Bills so

363
00:16:02,800 –> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 5: many times, I think a lot of us kind of

364
00:16:05,000 –> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 5: knew this is going to happen. I mean, when the

365
00:16:06,880 –> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 5: Bills were six and six and they have like a

366
00:16:09,560 –> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 5: five percent chance to make the playoffs, I look at them,

367
00:16:12,480 –> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 5: I’m like, these are still the Buffalo Bills. This is

368
00:16:14,520 –> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 5: still Josh Allen. This is still a team that’s been

369
00:16:16,400 –> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 5: there and done that. And I think that experience is

370
00:16:18,880 –> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 5: invaluable and I think it really helped them here to

371
00:16:21,480 –> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 5: win their five final regular season games and then win

372
00:16:24,360 –> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 5: that game over Pittsburgh over the weekend. And yeah, you

373
00:16:27,960 –> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 5: look at what they’ve done here during this stretch where

374
00:16:31,040 –> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 5: they’ve found a way to get back into the playoffs

375
00:16:33,760 –> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 5: and get back to Bills football. It’s a little bit

376
00:16:36,000 –> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 5: different than what they’ve done in the past, because when

377
00:16:38,800 –> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 5: you have a quarterback like Josh Allen, and if you’re

378
00:16:41,080 –> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 5: not watching all these games, you might think that Allen

379
00:16:43,000 –> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 5: has just gone crazy during this five game stretch. But

380
00:16:46,200 –> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 5: really what they’ve done is they’ve ran the football really effectively.

381
00:16:49,760 –> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 5: They lead the NFL and rushing attempts since Week fourteen,

382
00:16:53,480 –> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 5: with one hundred and and eighty that coincides with their

383
00:16:56,040 –> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 5: winning streak. They’re thirteen rushes ahead of the next closest

384
00:16:59,560 –> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 5: team on that list. It’s crazy, and they’ve gained seven

385
00:17:02,280 –> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 5: hundred and forty four yards on those rushes, averaging over

386
00:17:05,119 –> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 5: four yards per rush. They’re averaging one hundred and forty

387
00:17:07,720 –> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 5: eight point eight rushing yards per game in that span,

388
00:17:10,320 –> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 5: fifth most in the NFL. And you can trast that

389
00:17:12,920 –> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 5: with their passing numbers, which you think would be really

390
00:17:15,080 –> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 5: high if they’re winning all these games, but they’re only

391
00:17:17,680 –> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 5: averaging two hundred and four point six passing yards per game,

392
00:17:20,920 –> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 5: twenty first in the NFL since Week fourteen. So they’re

393
00:17:24,359 –> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 5: running the football with a lot of success. That’s the

394
00:17:26,960 –> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 5: main key here for the Chiefs. Yeah, you got to

395
00:17:28,960 –> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 5: stop Josh Allen. Everyone knows that. But first you got

396
00:17:31,600 –> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 5: to stop the run. Here in this game, there are

397
00:17:34,480 –> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 5: triangles here.

398
00:17:35,200 –> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: I’m going to bring up now two triangles, one for

399
00:17:37,440 –> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and one for the Bills. And the Bills

400
00:17:39,760 –> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: one is and don’t I don’t want to put up

401
00:17:41,640 –> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs bulletin board material. He’s had thirty nine targets

402
00:17:44,800 –> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: in those last five regular season games and twenty four catches.

403
00:17:48,320 –> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: But there is a new triangle. The Bills said, how

404
00:17:50,640 –> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: did they win five straight games in the regular season?

405
00:17:54,160 –> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: To your point, Josh Allen, who had eighteen interceptions this year,

406
00:17:58,119 –> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: was five touchdowns and five picks in those five regular

407
00:18:01,080 –> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: season games. It was the running game, but it was

408
00:18:03,720 –> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen running the football. Joe Brady takes over his

409
00:18:06,600 –> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, They fired Ken Dorsey, and the Bills went

410
00:18:10,160 –> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: back to twenty twenty one. Forty four percent of Josh

411
00:18:14,359 –> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: Allen’s rushing attempts were in the last five regular season

412
00:18:17,440 –> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: games of the year. And then we saw his scramble

413
00:18:21,520 –> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 1: and great play against Pittsburgh, the second longest run by

414
00:18:24,960 –> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: a quarterback for a touchdown in postseason history in his

415
00:18:28,480 –> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: fifty two yarder. The second part of the triangle was

416
00:18:31,280 –> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: there all along, and that was a new emphasis with

417
00:18:33,520 –> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: James Cook, Dalvin’s brother great at Georgia.

418
00:18:35,880 –> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: You and I both liked him at Georgia coming out

419
00:18:38,040 –> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 2: for the.

420
00:18:38,320 –> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: Draft, but then they made him a receiver’s kind of

421
00:18:41,200 –> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: ironic here, but they established him in the run game.

422
00:18:44,280 –> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: He hurt Kansas City and the passing game, he had

423
00:18:47,560 –> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: big plays, including a twenty five yard touchdown. But the

424
00:18:50,040 –> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: third part of the triangle is interesting. It is rookie

425
00:18:52,960 –> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: Dalton Kincaid, who they have used in the slot a lot,

426
00:18:56,400 –> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: basically as a wide receiver, and not that he’s had

427
00:18:59,359 –> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 1: a whole lot of volume in terms of catches, but

428
00:19:02,480 –> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: it’s what he’s done with those catches. When you look

429
00:19:04,760 –> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: at what Dalton Kincaid did, he had one hundred and

430
00:19:06,960 –> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: seventy one yards in the last two games. He was

431
00:19:09,400 –> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: big in the game against Pittsburgh, three catches fifty nine yards.

432
00:19:12,560 –> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: He now has become a weapon along with Dawson Knox.

433
00:19:15,520 –> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: But to me, it’s kind of a Kincaid Cook Josh

434
00:19:18,000 –> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: Allen triangle.

435
00:19:19,119 –> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 5: And Dalton Kincaid is really the result of how Travis

436
00:19:22,119 –> 00:19:25,239
Speaker 5: Kelsey has changed the NFL in my opinion, because if

437
00:19:25,240 –> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 5: you look at Dalton Kincaid, he is one of those

438
00:19:27,760 –> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 5: hybrid receivers that is playing tight end, a really big

439
00:19:32,040 –> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 5: guy who is really fast, who has great hands, who

440
00:19:35,400 –> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 5: in college was essentially a wide receiver but is playing

441
00:19:38,359 –> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 5: tight end because of his size, and they use him

442
00:19:40,720 –> 00:19:43,479
Speaker 5: as such. And yeah, he’s been great here down the stretch.

443
00:19:43,520 –> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 5: A player that we liked a lot in the draft

444
00:19:45,080 –> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 5: process that obviously went in the first round for a reason,

445
00:19:48,640 –> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 5: and he’s showing why he went in the first round

446
00:19:51,040 –> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 5: over the last several weeks. It’s going to be a

447
00:19:53,640 –> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 5: challenge here for the Chiefs defense because in recent years,

448
00:19:57,359 –> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 5: this Bill squad was Josh Allen super and he’s got

449
00:20:01,000 –> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 5: Stefan Diggs and Gabe Davis and they’re going to light

450
00:20:03,359 –> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 5: it up down the field. That’s what they want to do.

451
00:20:05,440 –> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 5: And really this iteration of the Bills, how they’ve kind

452
00:20:08,000 –> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 5: of found themselves over the last several weeks. It’s much different,

453
00:20:11,640 –> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 5: and it’s about running the football, it’s about using the

454
00:20:14,440 –> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 5: tight end. And it’s interesting because this is kind of

455
00:20:17,800 –> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 5: the evolution of Josh Allen in a lot of ways

456
00:20:20,600 –> 00:20:22,959
Speaker 5: where the league is kind of adjusted to what he

457
00:20:23,000 –> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 5: does well, so then he adjusts back and that’s why

458
00:20:25,440 –> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 5: he’s one of the best players in the league because

459
00:20:27,240 –> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 5: he was able to do that. So this game will

460
00:20:29,200 –> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 5: be a challenge once again. But this Chiefs defense has

461
00:20:31,240 –> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 5: been so good this year. And if you look back

462
00:20:33,720 –> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 5: at Week fourteen, the Bills ambushed the Chiefs, we all

463
00:20:37,320 –> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 5: know that they got off to a fourteen point lead,

464
00:20:40,600 –> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 5: but and they had one hundred and thirty nine yards

465
00:20:42,520 –> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 5: on their first three drives, but after that, on their

466
00:20:45,280 –> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 5: final six drives they go for just one hundred and

467
00:20:48,240 –> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 5: eighty eight yards and six points. So I think a

468
00:20:51,080 –> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 5: fast start defensively is key in this game. And the

469
00:20:53,640 –> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 5: good news is, aside from that hot start for Buffalo

470
00:20:56,480 –> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 5: back in week fourteen, we’ve seen that the Chiefs can

471
00:20:58,640 –> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 5: stop this Buffalo offense.

472
00:21:00,119 –> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: And the adjustment Josh Allen has made has gone back

473
00:21:03,359 –> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: to his roots, because he’s actually gone back to the

474
00:21:06,080 –> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen of the early years of his career and

475
00:21:08,840 –> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: the way he’s doing it. Some are design runs, some

476
00:21:11,160 –> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: are off schedule plays, and they’re still getting some shots right.

477
00:21:14,200 –> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: Shakir can be a target down the field with digs,

478
00:21:17,000 –> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: certainly can, but a lot of those come from off

479
00:21:19,000 –> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: schedule plays by Allen. And then Kincaid, to your point,

480
00:21:21,920 –> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: can run every route on the route tree one through nine.

481
00:21:25,200 –> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: It’s not just running go routes down a seam like

482
00:21:28,119 –> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: a tight end route. He’s like Kelsey and running all

483
00:21:31,000 –> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: of the route numbers on the route tree. Now for

484
00:21:33,760 –> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, though, I think they’ve established their triangle because

485
00:21:37,560 –> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: now you have the Kelsey Rice Pachecko triangle, not that

486
00:21:41,440 –> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: others aren’t part of it, but they become that’s becomes

487
00:21:44,280 –> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: your base. Okay, we’re talking geometry here. You have this

488
00:21:47,359 –> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: base triangle of those three guys and other guys now

489
00:21:50,240 –> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: spin off of that. And let’s don’t lose side of

490
00:21:53,040 –> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: the fact that Pachecko did not play in that Week

491
00:21:56,200 –> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: fourteen loss against the Bills.

492
00:21:57,840 –> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 5: And that’s a huge deal. And neither did Drew Try

493
00:22:00,520 –> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 5: on defense. He didn’t play in that game either, or

494
00:22:02,960 –> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 5: Donovan Smith for that matter. And Nick Bolton was in

495
00:22:05,800 –> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 5: his first game back from injured reserve, so still kind

496
00:22:08,320 –> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 5: of getting his feet wet. Nick Bolton obviously.

497
00:22:12,040 –> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 4: Just fine.

498
00:22:12,480 –> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 5: Now he’s back playing great football. So this is a

499
00:22:15,080 –> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 5: healthier Chiefs team than what the Bill saw back in

500
00:22:17,960 –> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 5: Week fourteen. I totally agree about the triangle though. And

501
00:22:21,440 –> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 5: here’s one of the interesting things to watch here in

502
00:22:23,320 –> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 5: this game. The Bills are dealing with a lot of injuries. Defensively.

503
00:22:27,359 –> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 5: I’m going to list some guys off here. Some of

504
00:22:29,000 –> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 5: these guys still may play, we don’t know. But the

505
00:22:31,080 –> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 5: guys they did not have in the wild card round

506
00:22:33,960 –> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 5: due to losing them in Week eighteen or linebacker Tyrel Dodson,

507
00:22:38,040 –> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 5: corner Rasuell Douglas, and safety Taylor Rapp all significant contributors.

508
00:22:42,520 –> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 5: Then here are the players they lost in the Steelers

509
00:22:45,119 –> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 5: game just last week. Corner Christian Benford, nickelback Tarron Johnson,

510
00:22:50,280 –> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 5: linebacker Terrell Bernard, and then linebacker Bale Inspector those players.

511
00:22:55,280 –> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 5: If you look at the snap counts that they had

512
00:22:57,560 –> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 5: back in Week fourteen against the Chiefs, three hundred and

513
00:23:00,359 –> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 5: forty eight defensive snaps. Bernard, Douglas, Johnson, and Benford played

514
00:23:04,680 –> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 5: every single snap in that game. Now, it sounds like

515
00:23:07,320 –> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 5: Russello Douglas will likely be back, and I’m sure some

516
00:23:09,359 –> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 5: of these guys will be back. But it’s something to

517
00:23:11,400 –> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 5: watch because those many significant defensive players either not playing

518
00:23:15,880 –> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 5: or being limited is a big deal because where are

519
00:23:19,520 –> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 5: those three players that you mentioned talking about, Pacheco, Kelsey

520
00:23:23,080 –> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 5: and Rice. Where are they at their best? The middle

521
00:23:25,040 –> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 5: of the football field, And those players that the Bills

522
00:23:28,200 –> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 5: may be without or may have limited are linebackers and

523
00:23:31,320 –> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 5: nickel corners, players that play in the middle of the field.

524
00:23:34,320 –> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 5: The middle of the field, I think is the key

525
00:23:36,200 –> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 5: to this game. If the Chiefs can find success in

526
00:23:38,320 –> 00:23:41,479
Speaker 5: the middle of the football field continuously over and over

527
00:23:41,520 –> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 5: again and march down the field because this Bill’s defense

528
00:23:44,600 –> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 5: is struggling in that area. That is something to watch

529
00:23:47,000 –> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 5: and it could be one of the major keys to

530
00:23:48,400 –> 00:23:49,479
Speaker 5: a victory for the Chiefs.

531
00:23:50,240 –> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: Let’s also remember that they have three main players on

532
00:23:52,880 –> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: injured reserve that will not return. Matt Mulana was lost

533
00:23:56,760 –> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: early back on October Tredevius White as well in Joe

534
00:24:00,040 –> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips, who is a stud in the middle. Along

535
00:24:02,359 –> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: with that Oliver He’s on injured reserve, won’t return. So

536
00:24:06,080 –> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: they have had They’ve taken some real shots to that defense,

537
00:24:10,359 –> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: and yet they’ve been able to kind of stay. They’ve

538
00:24:15,240 –> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 1: kept their resolve. The turnovers are takeaways. They have thirty takeaways,

539
00:24:19,200 –> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: but we’ve always said this, what do you do with

540
00:24:20,840 –> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: those takeaways? They have ninety nine takeaway points, that’s third

541
00:24:24,359 –> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: of the National Football League. And then the fun stat

542
00:24:26,920 –> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: that I thought, we know how good the Chiefs defense

543
00:24:28,880 –> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: has been in this last half of the season. In

544
00:24:31,400 –> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: the last eight games of the year, the Chiefs only

545
00:24:34,240 –> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 1: allowed one hundred and fifty one opponent offensive points. The

546
00:24:38,480 –> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: Bills allowed one hundred and fifty one. They allowed the

547
00:24:41,720 –> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: same over an eight game span, so it tells you

548
00:24:44,119 –> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: that the Bills have had to be resourceful even though

549
00:24:46,760 –> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: they have taken some real shots injury.

550
00:24:48,920 –> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 5: Was Yeah, they’ve been really impressive. And since Week fourteen,

551
00:24:53,200 –> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 5: this is the number four total defense in the NFL,

552
00:24:55,880 –> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 5: allowing just two hundred and seventy six point six yards

553
00:24:58,480 –> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 5: per game. The Chiefs are third at two hundred and

554
00:25:00,920 –> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 5: seventy point eight points or yards allowed per game. They’re

555
00:25:04,320 –> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 5: also fifth and scoring at twenty six point eight points

556
00:25:06,680 –> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 5: allowed per game since Week fourteen, and they have not

557
00:25:09,160 –> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 5: allowed more than twenty two points during their winning streak.

558
00:25:12,720 –> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 5: So yeah, they’ve had these injuries, but they’ve found a

559
00:25:14,760 –> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 5: way and the takeaways really are the big part of it.

560
00:25:17,119 –> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 5: And if you watch the Bills Steelers game on Monday,

561
00:25:20,680 –> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 5: that was evident that the Steelers had their opportunities in

562
00:25:23,800 –> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 5: that game but a fumble here and interception there. The Bills,

563
00:25:28,600 –> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 5: despite some issues this season, are far too talented to

564
00:25:31,840 –> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 5: give them extra opportunities with the football, and the Chiefs

565
00:25:34,840 –> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 5: fell victim to that back in Week fourteen as well.

566
00:25:36,880 –> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 5: If you remember the Chiefs opening drive, they were rolling

567
00:25:39,560 –> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 5: right down the field, kind of a fluky interception all

568
00:25:42,800 –> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 5: of a sudden the Bills got rolled.

569
00:25:44,000 –> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 2: Hey, Japanessa tips it. It was a great play.

570
00:25:46,040 –> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 4: It was a great play.

571
00:25:46,960 –> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 5: And that’s the kind of thing you have to avoid

572
00:25:48,520 –> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 5: against these guys because they are too good to give

573
00:25:51,400 –> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 5: extra possessions to them. So this is an obvious point.

574
00:25:55,080 –> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 5: But you cannot turn the ball over in this game

575
00:25:57,320 –> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 5: if you’re the Chiefs. And that’s why the game last

576
00:26:00,480 –> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 5: week against the Dolphins was so encouraging, because they were

577
00:26:03,160 –> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 5: just surgically efficient offensively running the football, getting yards after contact,

578
00:26:08,720 –> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes, dealing the ball all over the place, no mistakes,

579
00:26:12,720 –> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 5: just making sure every single drive, let’s get points. And

580
00:26:15,760 –> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 5: that’s the same effort we need here in this game.

581
00:26:18,119 –> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 5: The only caveat would be I’d like to see the

582
00:26:20,440 –> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 5: Chiefs finishing the red zone war against the Bills here

583
00:26:22,680 –> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 5: in this one compared to what they did last week

584
00:26:24,240 –> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 5: against the Dolphins.

585
00:26:25,000 –> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 4: But otherwise that was the recipe.

586
00:26:27,160 –> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 5: Possessed the ball, moved down the field, no mistakes, and

587
00:26:30,359 –> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 5: score points every possession.

588
00:26:32,359 –> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: The Bills Mafia can’t wait. The Chiefs Kingdom can’t wait.

589
00:26:35,640 –> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen can’t wait. Patrick Mahomes can’t wait. By the way,

590
00:26:39,040 –> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen’s part of the triangle because he runs the

591
00:26:41,359 –> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: ball and design runs. You can say, what happened to Mahomes.

592
00:26:44,160 –> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: He’s not in the triangle, yeah, I said diamond. He’s

593
00:26:45,960 –> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: in the middle of the triangle. Yeah, he’s right there.

594
00:26:48,040 –> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 1: So let’s just get that straight. But we do know this.

595
00:26:51,480 –> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: Get ready, folks, it’s the Bills and Chiefs in the

596
00:26:54,040 –> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: postseason and that means another chapter. The thing be
