🎙️ New York Jets vs. Kansas City Chiefs – Official Postgame Show | Chiefs Rewind

00:00:01
Speaker 1: Under pressure sack at the 31 yard line down throws a wheel out right side it’s caught touchdown of the far front pylon herbert is absolutely eaten alive it’s drew trample here comes a rush and he’s gonna go down george carloftus.

00:00:28
Speaker 2: I talk on the air about the sweet nectar of the end zone, but never underestimate the nectar that’s at the top of the shelf, which is the nectar of victory.

00:00:36
Speaker 3: It’s been a while. It feels like it’s been a bit.

00:00:38
Speaker 2: But the Chiefs get this 135-12. And impressive in the second half, Matt, to get a 21-0 second half after a tenuous 14-12 lead at half.

00:00:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, I’m proud of our guys for sticking together.

00:00:51
Speaker 3: Here today.

00:00:51
Speaker 4: This game did not start well for the Chiefs. Things were not going well early on, but to hang together to minimize the damage early on was huge, and once this ball got rolling downhill, the Jets couldn’t stop it.

00:01:02
Speaker 2: I want to ask you about minimizing the damage, because this is going to be overlooked when people talk about this game somewhat. The Jets had the ball at the 5, field goal. The Jets had the ball at the Chiefs 30, field goal. Jets had the ball at the Chiefs 27, field goal. Jets had the ball at the 36, field goal. In the first half, And at the 22 of the Chiefs, missed field goal because Chris Jones had the big sack at the end of the second quarter.

00:01:27
Speaker 3: Any one of those are touchdowns? The game could have been much different.

00:01:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, if this was Jets Rewind, we’d be talking about missed opportunities right now. But it’s demoralizing for the Jets, right? I mean, think about that opening drive. They go 14 plays. It eats up eight minutes. Half of the first quarter was just gone in the blink of an eye. They go all the way down to our five-yard line. They settle for a field goal. Then they recover that fumble on the failed QB sneak. They get to our 35-yard line. Again, it’s subtle for a field goal. That is demoralizing for the Jets’ offense. That’s actually pretty good. I mean, they scored 58 points over their last three weeks, but they couldn’t punch it in there. And then we have third and 10 deep in our own territory, on our own 18, not looking good for our offense. Well, Mahomes finds Travis Kelsey for a 17-yard gain.

00:02:08
Speaker 5: The rest is history.

00:02:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the ninth possession that led to a touchdown that led to a 16-point lead. But the Chiefs got touchdowns in the first half while the Jets settled for those field goals. Ken Walker III, a hat-trick. two receiving touchdowns on a beautiful screen that was perfect, and then a rushing touchdown. But K-9 came roaring back in this game.

00:02:27
Speaker 4: K-9 on that screen. When he gets going, that’s just so much fun. What a game for him. So he has 18 carries for 102 yards, four catches for 41 yards. Do the math on that. That’s 143 scrimmage yards. Now in eight games with the Chiefs, he’s topped 130 scrimmage yards five times.

00:02:42
Speaker 3: That’s pretty good.

00:02:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don’t talk about offensive linemen enough, but this was a good day for Kingsley Sumatia and also for Trey Smith. Go back and watch this game, and that screen was a thing of beauty. Now, Pat looks them off. He freezes the Jets. Just enough. But when you get Smith and Souma Atiyah out in front of K-9, look out.

00:03:00
Speaker 4: Kingsley was moving on that one. And Trey Smith was moving people. That play is just so effective. And K-9, I think, was stuffed in the previous play. Lost a couple of yards. You just know in that situation, he’s going to find a way to pick up some yards after that. He’s so much fun to watch play football.

00:03:13
Speaker 3: And yeah, hat trick for him today.

00:03:14
Speaker 4: But he’s going to give that football, I think, to the offensive line.

00:03:17
Speaker 3: For sure.

00:03:18
Speaker 2: And then let’s not take Mahomes for granted. David Bailey tries to wreck his elbow. At the end of the half, but then Pat came roaring back in the second half, but the canine runs are getting double digit, double jitted, and then was starting to move it around a little bit. Xavier Worthy will monitor his injury, but he had some catches, but Mahomes just came fighting back.

00:03:42
Speaker 3: From the injury. What a warrior he is.

00:03:44
Speaker 4: He is the ultimate warrior. And for him to have that injury, everyone’s holding their breath here at Arrowhead. He comes in there on that next series. He’s engaging tacklers. He’s diving for the first down.

00:03:53
Speaker 3: He’s just amazing.

00:03:54
Speaker 4: So he’s the ultimate gamer. We’re so fortunate to have him here in Kansas City. And I’m so glad that injury wasn’t serious because we were nervous there for a second.

00:04:01
Speaker 2: How about his block to help K-9 when he cut the field back? Let’s get reaction. Chiefs win at 35-12 of the Jets. They’re 6-2. Let’s get reaction from the podium.

00:04:12
Speaker 3: All right.

00:04:13
Speaker 6: As far as the injuries go, Xavier tweaked his hamstring. Don’t know exactly how bad that is right now. And then Jalen Moore hurt his ankle. So we’ll see how he works out here in the next day or so. All in all, a good game. Proud of the guys for the job in which they did coming off the two losses that we had. And a slow start here. We were able to rally both sides of the ball and And a special team. So ended up with a nice positive result on a noon game. So the guys actually get a chance to half enjoy it and then get back to work for a good Atlanta team.

00:04:56
Speaker 5: That we’ll be playing.

00:04:57
Speaker 6: So there’s some great individual things that took place. Obviously, Walker on offense got over 100 yards. Again, Pat did some nice things. Even with the sore arm there, he had hurt his elbow region there. But came back, was able to come back and get back in. Kelsey, again, had a record day, literally. But had some big catches for us.

00:05:24
Speaker 5: Worthy.

00:05:25
Speaker 6: Before he got hurt there, had a few nice catches along with, uh, Rice. So they, everybody was contributing, um, along the board there. Uh, on defense, uh, we got a few sacks now, so we kind of, kind of broke the dam there and, uh, and had five sacks. It was good to get Chris going and, and, um, likewise George. So, and then, uh, Tranquil with 13 tackles. That’s quite a day. And, um, and then Ariza with his, uh, with his punt. I’m sure I’ll be asked about Bucker. I’ll address that as we go throughout the week. I’ll look at everything and no need to ask. That’ll be the answer that you get. So I’m not making any decisions right now today. So with that, time’s yours.

00:06:12
Speaker 4: Andy, when Patrick was hurt, I know you’ve seen this many times where he probably just backed in. Can you just take us through the processes for you when you first see.

00:06:20
Speaker 5: That injury and what it appears to be?

00:06:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, I get Justin ready.

00:06:24
Speaker 3: Like, quickly.

00:06:26
Speaker 6: You know, that’s kind of where you’re at on the field. You let your medical people take care of that, and then you’ve got to kind of put everything back there and get the other guy going. But he’s a tough kid. If there’s any way he can come back from something, he’s coming back. But I didn’t know until we were getting ready to start that series.

00:06:47
Speaker 4: And it’s typically pretty infectious when he does that, doesn’t it?

00:06:49
Speaker 5: Can you just describe the ripples.

00:06:50
Speaker 4: That it has through the offense and the team?

00:06:52
Speaker 6: Yeah, when you have a quarterback that is tough, it affects everybody. That’s that position. They’re supposed to take everybody’s game and help raise it. Part of that is sometimes when you’re banged up a little bit, you’re in a vulnerable position back there, so you’re going to get banged up a little bit. But if you get banged up, you’re able to get back up and go, and nobody does it better than he does it. Yeah, I mean, you guys asked for it, so we gave it to you, and it didn’t work.

00:07:19
Speaker 5: How’d you feel? Um….

00:07:33
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:07:33
Speaker 6: So listen, we’ve got to make sure those are hard to practice live. The quarterback sneak is hard to practice unless you do it in a game. And so, um, we just got to get those two on the same page on it and make sure we get the ball up first and in the quarterback’s hands and we can roll from there. Um, what was the other one you asked?

00:07:54
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:07:55
Speaker 6: So we’ve run that before. I mean, that’s been in, um, you know, in the offense for a while. And, um, They pinched right into it, so they hard slanted right over to it. Trey ended up having to make a big block on it, and that guy was way out there trying to get that taken care of. It was a hard ask for Trey, but he was able to at least.

00:08:17
Speaker 3: Get a body on a body.

00:08:17
Speaker 6: So getting it in there was good. Patrick was able to finish the game. Is there any concern that Elbow, that’s in front of you, is coming more forward? Yeah, we’ll see how he does. I’m sure he’s going to be sore tomorrow. I mean, that was a, you know, but Julie worked on it the whole time on the sideline, keeping it loose, and we’ll just see where it goes. She did a nice job with it. Yeah, I mean, that was between Kingsley and I, and, you know, I’ll leave it at that, but I think he played pretty good today. We’ll see where it goes. Yeah, Sam, you saw it towards the end of the season there when they were in the playoffs. They started giving them opportunities. And, you know, where the other back, 26, he was getting most of them. But, You could see he could catch and run after the catch and do all that. And he’s done nothing but that. Done a nice job with it from the OTAs on through training camp. And, you know, I’m glad we have an opportunity to use him there. Screens, likewise, you know. Yeah, it had a little tush push to it. Right into the ground.

00:09:58
Speaker 7: Laughter been a big topic, but what about Jalen Royals?

00:10:05
Speaker 8: What have you seen from him that feels like he’s just playing more developing, kind of coming into his own?

00:10:10
Speaker 6: Jalen Royals?

00:10:12
Speaker 3: Jalen Royals, yeah.

00:10:13
Speaker 9: Number 11.

00:10:14
Speaker 6: Yeah, he did pretty good, yeah. He’s getting better every week. He’s getting better, yeah.

00:10:21
Speaker 5: A couple things.

00:10:22
Speaker 9: Coach, on the play to Travis, I know that’s been there for a while. Is it supposed to be forward, backward, or does it really matter to you? Because they haven’t scored a touchdown pass, and they came back with a run.

00:10:32
Speaker 3: Does it matter to you whether it’s a pass.

00:10:35
Speaker 2: Or a run?

00:10:37
Speaker 6: No, but you like it to go forward enough, right? So if it doesn’t work, then it goes on the ground, then it’s not a fumble.

00:10:45
Speaker 9: Yeah. And then you mentioned the trainings. It looked like the one that scored the touchdown where Trey and Kingsley were really out there in front of it. That’s obviously something you guys would love to have a lot of. Was that just about as perfect as you can get it? And if you draw it up.

00:11:00
Speaker 5: That way, just push it off?

00:11:02
Speaker 6: Yeah, it looked good. I mean, it looked good from where I was standing. It was on the other side, but it looked good from where I was standing. I didn’t go back and look at the picture of it, but it looked like it was pretty well executed.

00:11:13
Speaker 9: It sets the play that seems like those guys, especially your line, you.

00:11:17
Speaker 6: Like those, I mean.

00:11:18
Speaker 8: They like to get up.

00:11:19
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah, they’re big guys. Anytime they can show off that they can run, I think is, you know, they enjoy doing that. You spoke to the sacks a bit, but just what’s the difference between getting.

00:11:35
Speaker 2: Home and not?

00:11:36
Speaker 5: And also, what difference does.

00:11:38
Speaker 2: It make in the game?

00:11:41
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, listen, the guys have heard all the noise on sacks, and they put a lot of pressure on themselves to get home and do that. That’s a big thing for D-linemen. So getting there gives them a little extra juice. And when it’s one of your leaders like a Chris Jones or George, for that matter, I mean, it just brings.

00:12:03
Speaker 3: Some great energy to everybody.

00:12:05
Speaker 6: So I’m glad they had an opportunity to do that. Yeah, you’re coming off two losses there. And so I felt like the guys had a good week of practice. They didn’t hang their head. But to come out and then put a game together against a team that, you know, I know their win-loss record. I understand all that. But their games have been one score, right, one score. and they’ve been in everything. Every game, they’ve been right there, and so to be able to put something together to get some separation in the score, I think that’s a nice tribute to the guys, to the coach. I thought the coordinators had a good plan. The coaches did a nice job, and so my hat goes off to our guys.

00:12:59
Speaker 4: With penalties having been an issue, how pleased were you with the offense?

00:13:03
Speaker 6: Yeah, we had the three, I guess, on special teams, right? But the offense and defense stayed clean. I mean, that’s been hurting us the last couple games. So you’ve got to make sure you focus in on that and then let’s learn from it. Let’s keep that going. It gives you a chance when you’re not going backwards on offense and giving them forward progress on defense. It’s hard enough to neutralize an offensive defense in this league anyways without the penalty. As long as we can keep that going, that’s great.

00:13:36
Speaker 5: All right, good.

00:13:38
Speaker 1: Thank you.

00:13:40
Speaker 3: Opposite the left guard. Here comes pressure on Geno Smith. No shot. No shot.

00:13:45
Speaker 1: Chris Jones gets a sack. And now Chris Jones is second in Kansas City Chiefs history in sacks. Only behind the great Pro Football Hall of Famer, the late Derek Thomas. Second of the game for Chris Jones. And Sack Nation is back being recognized. He’s back.

00:14:06
Speaker 5: 95.

00:14:06
Speaker 3: Huge game. Chris Jones with us.

00:14:08
Speaker 2: First of all, You’re second now all-time in Chiefs history, only behind the late Derrick Thomas in the number of sacks with your two today.

00:14:16
Speaker 3: What does that mean to you? It means a lot.

00:14:18
Speaker 8: Dedication to the hard work and amazing teammates I’ve had over the course of 11 years. You know, you’re taking that perspective. One person can’t always get it done. It takes a village, and I’ve had a lot of unselfish teammates to help me get here.

00:14:32
Speaker 3: Well, it’s incredible.

00:14:33
Speaker 2: And your sack at the end of the half, let’s talk about that one, because that led to the missed field goal.

00:14:37
Speaker 3: Not only sacks, but strategic sacks.

00:14:39
Speaker 2: And the fact that you guys would not relent and give them a touchdown. How big was that in your sack at the end of the second quarter?

00:14:45
Speaker 3: I think it was huge. We knocked them out of field goal range.

00:14:50
Speaker 8: Fortunately, they missed, and we were able to go in with, I think, 12 points.

00:14:54
Speaker 5: At the halftime. So it saved us three points then.

00:14:58
Speaker 3: The mentality, though, to dig in.

00:15:00
Speaker 2: I mean, they were at the 5, the 22, the 30, the 36, and you guys held every time to hold them to field goals before your sack. What’s the mentality like to be like that time and again?

00:15:08
Speaker 8: You know what, man? For us, it’s about getting back on track. We suffered two road losses, two tough losses. For us, it’s about getting back on track and continue that momentum going into Atlanta.

00:15:20
Speaker 3: You lined up outside on the one.

00:15:21
Speaker 2: It reminded me of the 2022 AFC Championship game when you came off the edge like a screamer. What about the ability to go outside and have some fun?

00:15:30
Speaker 8: Hey, I’m still Chris Jones, man. Don’t let it fool you. I’m still Chris Jones.

00:15:35
Speaker 2: And then moving forward to get ready this defense, but you got George. Your buddy gets two and a pass batted down. You get Gelati with a big one. Spreading it out and getting five sacks for negative 41 yards in this game.

00:15:47
Speaker 3: Just spread it out. How good was that? It was good. Me and George was racing.

00:15:51
Speaker 8: You know, George got his second set before I got mine, and I told him, like, I got to get another one before.

00:15:58
Speaker 3: This game, man.

00:15:59
Speaker 8: So, you know, we was just having fun and feeding off of each other, man. I think in order for us to keep this defense going, it’s going to be up to me and George to set the tone of the defense.

00:16:09
Speaker 2: You moved Dunlap inside against Cincinnati in that game. Did you move anybody inside tonight like I’m going out here?

00:16:15
Speaker 8: Well, you know, in the play I went in, I was supposed to be inside and Drew was supposed to be outside, but I just refused to move inside.

00:16:22
Speaker 5: It led to a sack, though.

00:16:23
Speaker 3: I know I’m going to get cursed out by Coach Spaggs, but it’s all good. It is all good.

00:16:28
Speaker 2: And, again, second all-time in Chiefs history in sacks behind the late Derek Thomas.

00:16:32
Speaker 3: Chris Jones.

00:16:34
Speaker 9: What felt like and what’s going on there?

00:16:36
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, if I’m able to play, I’m going to play. That’s part of the game. That’s part of playing. You know, it scares you in moments when you get some pains in certain areas of your body. And so, obviously, it didn’t feel great. But I was able to kind of get it worked on a little bit, especially that halftime. And then I was able to go out there and play the rest of the game.

00:16:55
Speaker 7: I mean, are you immediately feeling like.

00:16:59
Speaker 5: any questions at all about coming back in?

00:17:02
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, you just never know, you know. I mean, obviously I had the knee injury last year. You never know what’s going to be the final result or outcome of an injury. But at the same time, you just try to let the doctors and trainers do their work. And so definitely something that scares you more, I think, than anything. But we were able to get out there and give it a go.

00:17:19
Speaker 5: How are you feeling?

00:17:22
Speaker 10: I feel good now. I mean, obviously you get the win, and the adrenaline’s pumping. I’m sure I’ll be sore tomorrow. But we’ll get right to it. We’ll get to work on it. We’ll get ourselves ready to go. And it’s great to get the win now. Now it’s about getting ourselves ready for next week.

00:17:39
Speaker 2: I know.

00:17:39
Speaker 5: I needed to.

00:17:40
Speaker 10: He did that at Texas Tech a lot as well. He got drafted second overall. So I saw it a lot on TV. I don’t like being the guy that’s getting hit. So I’ll try to stay away from that. Patrick, what made the difference in the short-term success generally? Yeah, I think guys just did a great job doing their assignments, you know. A lot of times the assignments are where it comes down to in the trenches, and guys were physical, they did their assignments well, and they were able to get themselves into the end zone. And so that’s glad to see because you want that going throughout the year, and so it was a step in the right direction. Yeah, no, the first one, we were trying to look for a man-type coverage, and we got, I think it was cover four, but it played like man underneath. And we were able to run guys across the field and miscommunication on how they were passing off in zone. And so giving Kenneth a pass and then getting him to the end zone. And then the other one was the screen, a great screen call by Coach Reed. I mean, the offensive line getting out there, and they scored the touchdown. That’s what you want on screens. And so just a great call at the right time. And then the one that Travis passed, man, I’m just saying. I’m not mad, but it was. Yeah, he’s getting better and better at it. I mean, he has the talent, and he can catch the football. And so it’s just about giving him more opportunities to go out there and show that. And so we’ve done that this year. He’s shown that he can do it. And he had a great game in multiple ways. I mean, running the football, catching the football, blocking, doing what it takes to be a great running back in this league.

00:19:07
Speaker 5: And we’ll keep doing that as we go forward.

00:19:09
Speaker 9: Patrick, can you talk about how chemistry off the field helps performance on the field?

00:19:13
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, you want a team that likes each other because at the end of the day, it comes.

00:19:17
Speaker 5: Down to are you willing to lay it all on the line?

00:19:19
Speaker 10: I mean, a lot of times we talk about the offense and the scoring touchdowns and doing all this type of stuff, but it’s the offensive line and it’s how it goes.

00:19:25
Speaker 5: And they don’t get the glory.

00:19:26
Speaker 10: They don’t get the kind of be standing up here on the podium and doing all different type of stuff. But they’re who make us go, and they’re the engine of the offense, same with the defensive line. everything like that and so you want to have a team that’s that’s close that really likes each other and then loves being out there on the field and playing and they kind of give it it all and that comes with stuff that you do off the field as much as you do on it We saw Xavier.

00:19:48
Speaker 3: Go off with what appears to.

00:19:50
Speaker 2: Be a hamstring injury.

00:19:52
Speaker 3: You’ve had injuries with Taekwon.

00:19:55
Speaker 2: How difficult is it to build that chemistry when you feel.

00:20:00
Speaker 10: Like you haven’t? Yeah, I mean, it’s part of it, but at the same time, I mean, you want to have those guys out there. He was having a good game today, made some tough physical catches, especially.

00:20:11
Speaker 5: Down there at the goal line.

00:20:12
Speaker 10: And so, well, hopefully it’s not as bad as it looked out there. I haven’t got to talk to him or the trainers or anything like that, but it’s kind of that next man up mentality. And we’ve had guys that have gotten repped because of the injuries, and so they’ll have to step in and make the plays happen whenever their number’s called.

00:20:28
Speaker 2: We’ve seen you pretty active on social media before.

00:20:32
Speaker 9: You’ve got the trade deadline coming up.

00:20:34
Speaker 1: Are you going to be monitoring to see if there’s any rumors out there about a new wide receiver coming in?

00:20:39
Speaker 5: I’ll leave that all up to Veach and Coach Reed.

00:20:43
Speaker 10: Whoever’s in that building, I go out there and try to make the most of it and win football games. I think we’ve done a great job of that with a lot of different guys. I see the work these guys put in every single day, and they’re ready. They’re ready to go out there and make plays when a number’s called. So I’ll leave that up to those guys.

00:20:58
Speaker 7: Patrick, you guys.

00:20:59
Speaker 5: Went into the half of it. How did you guys put that script into the dominant segment?

00:21:05
Speaker 10: I mean, it started with that first drive, you know, both sides of the ball. I mean, offensively we were able to get down there, have a good drive, score a touchdown, and then defensively get a stop, you know.

00:21:13
Speaker 5: And a lot of times when you.

00:21:15
Speaker 10: Get that momentum, especially coming out of halftime, after you’ve made adjustments, you can kind of ride that through the rest of the game. And so we were able to do that. And so they played really well. They had a lot of great drives. They controlled possession a lot in that first half. And I thought that first drive was important to get points and kind of get the possession back in our favor.

00:21:33
Speaker 5: We’re going to go across here. Let’s go to Sam.

00:21:35
Speaker 2: Because after Harrison made one of those extra points, you went up to him and said to him, what message are you.

00:21:40
Speaker 6: Trying to give?

00:21:41
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, we have confidence in him. I mean, that’s pretty much it, man. I’ve seen him make field goals at the biggest stages that you can make in this league. And so I want him to know that I have as much confidence in.

00:21:49
Speaker 5: Him as I ever had.

00:21:50
Speaker 10: And so just try to give him that vote of confidence there at that moment and kind of keep it moving.

00:21:56
Speaker 1: All right.

00:21:57
Speaker 10: Patrick, please.

00:21:59
Speaker 5: Well, I haven’t got that yet.

00:22:04
Speaker 10: So we’re going to go do some testing here whenever I get done at this media stuff right here. And we’ll get a better understanding of it. I’m sure Coach Rio will give you an update tomorrow.

00:22:14
Speaker 9: I mean, are you dealing with some limitations?

00:22:17
Speaker 10: I feel like out of half, I wasn’t throwing the ball the way I wanted to. But as the game went on and we kind of continued to work through it and kind of got warmed back up, I thought I’d kind of start throwing the ball better towards the end of the second half. And so that’ll be important this week is kind of getting the swelling and the fluid out of it so I can be ready to go.

00:22:32
Speaker 5: From the first snap next week. And just last part to that.

00:22:35
Speaker 4: Like before last year when you got hurt, it seemed like you always were just right away back in. Did it feel different to get hurt this time?

00:22:41
Speaker 10: Like plans of thought that– it didn’t it didn’t feel different but anytime it’s elbows and knees it’s always scary just because you just don’t know you know i mean like even my knee last year after we were doing the initial test i thought i could walk off the field i thought i was going to be good and then all of a sudden you do one test and you’re just out for that kind of that that stuff scares you um so i think that was more than anything i felt like i once i could throw the football from the stories you hear whenever you can grab the ball and try to throw you can’t throw and so once i threw the football i knew it wasn’t it wasn’t um hopefully i mean i haven’t done the test yet i wasn’t ligament type stuff it was more muscle type stuff and so That’ll be important to kind of get worked up this week.

00:23:16
Speaker 9: Last two times, I mean, when you pitched, did you ever have any elbow issues at all?

00:23:21
Speaker 10: No, I didn’t even ice when I used to pitch, so that probably wasn’t good for me. But, yeah, no, I never had any elbow issues.

00:23:29
Speaker 5: Thank God, knock on wood. But hopefully we can stay away from those. As far as the short guard stuff, I mean.

00:23:35
Speaker 9: There’s been lots of talk on social media fans about sneaks and all that. And Coach said that you guys ran the sneak.

00:23:41
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:23:44
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean.

00:23:49
Speaker 10: We’ve had that in practice these last few weeks. We kind of got messed up with the timing of it. We were trying to surprise the defense, and we broke the huddle. And then with the spot, we had to re-huddle again, and their defense kind of got to adjust to it.

00:24:01
Speaker 5: So….

00:24:03
Speaker 10: Obviously losing the element of surprise, but we’ve got to do it. We’ve got to make it happen. You’ve got to work on that stuff. You’ve got to work on sneaks and stuff like that. So it’s new to the guys. But as long as we keep executing at a high level, sure, yards-wise, we’ll find different ways to do it.

00:24:17
Speaker 2: Last one, Nate.

00:24:18
Speaker 3: You know that Travis can work through that. They can do it themselves. But you guys set the new record for most yards between.

00:24:23
Speaker 5: A pass catcher and a.

00:24:33
Speaker 10: No, I mean, he does a great job, man. He’s as tough as you’ll get in this league. He’ll fight through anything to go out there and play. And he’s so damn accountable to himself and his teammates that he won’t let anything hold him back. And so it’s always great to have him on the field because he’s going to make plays happen. He’ll fight through every injury, every– everything um in order to help this team um and i think that’s uh the guys you want on your on your team whenever you uh are competing for a championship.

00:25:02
Speaker 2: In hockey they call it a hat trick i guess they throw like octopus on the ice or something hat trick three touchdowns uh how good was it to find the sweet nectar three.

00:25:11
Speaker 7: Times yeah it’s always good to get in the end zone you know um credit to the guys around me you know the o-line did a great job on all those plays wide receivers and they take everybody so But it’s a blessing to be able to score three.

00:25:23
Speaker 3: Two by receiving.

00:25:24
Speaker 2: You and I talked when you first walked in the building, your prowess as a receiver, how good it was to get two receiving touchdowns and then walk through the screen for 25 yards.

00:25:33
Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely let it get the ball in my hands and, you know, receiving. I just let it show people that I can do more than just.

00:25:39
Speaker 4: Run the ball.

00:25:40
Speaker 3: And on that screen, it.

00:25:41
Speaker 7: Was wide open, you know, Pat dumped it down to me and, you know, the O-line did the rest and I just followed behind those guys.

00:25:46
Speaker 2: To stay patient, not just on runs, but at halftime.

00:25:49
Speaker 3: It was a struggle. But you stayed patient.

00:25:52
Speaker 2: Your mindset at halftime and then how you attacked the second half.

00:25:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, that’s.

00:25:57
Speaker 7: Something I’ve been working on a lot throughout my career and just football. It’s just being patient, you know, not get frustrated if stuff’s not going your way early in the game. So, you know, me and EB talked about it, you know, throughout the week on just letting the game come to me.

00:26:11
Speaker 5: So.

00:26:13
Speaker 7: We knew we had to do going out in the halftime, and we executed the right way, and we.

00:26:17
Speaker 3: Was able to get the win.

00:26:18
Speaker 2: What specifically happened to get the run game going, in your opinion, second half?

00:26:21
Speaker 7: Yeah, just execution and being more detailed. And we ran the ball more, I believe, in the second half. I’m not sure about the stats, but it felt like that way. Yeah, just being more detailed in the run game and executing well from running backs to linemen, wide receivers, and everybody had a role to play.

00:26:38
Speaker 2: I don’t know if you ever had firecrackers as a little kid, but you kind of lit the firecrackers with those 11-yard runs on first down, how big is it to get those on first down to kind of set the tone for a whole drive or a half?

00:26:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely.

00:26:50
Speaker 7: It’s always good to move the ball, no matter how you do it. But yeah, definitely running the ball and being able to get that many yards, I feel like it’s demoralizing to a defense.

00:26:59
Speaker 3: Okay.

00:27:00
Speaker 2: Emmitt Johnson, coach was talking about it this week. Yark, you’re the big brother now. What about your relationship with him and the big bro, little bro?

00:27:07
Speaker 7: Yeah, I love E, man. You know, just to Positive mindset he always has and, you know, the competitiveness.

00:27:13
Speaker 3: He plays with, you know, every day at practice.

00:27:16
Speaker 7: You see it, you know, the energy he brings, you know, when he scored a touchdown, always dancing. You know, that’s just him, though. And, you know, it’s great to have somebody like that in the room. And, you know, I love you.

00:27:26
Speaker 2: But you’re willing to mentor him, which is pretty cool. Now, on your touchdown, you found a little kid in the first row.

00:27:32
Speaker 3: What about that? Did he have a K-9 jersey on?

00:27:34
Speaker 7: Yeah, he had a 9 on. I seen him earlier in the game, but, you know, I was locked in. So after that third touchdown, I went and, you know, was able to get him the ball and able to sign it after the game, too. So that meant a lot to me, and hopefully it meant a lot to him.

00:27:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, you made his life, I think. Three touchdowns, a hat trick for K-9. Offset eye, single back, Ken Walker III. He’ll push it on the left side, gets a shoulder turn.

00:27:58
Speaker 3: And into the end zone.

00:28:01
Speaker 1: Touchdown, Kansas City. A hat trick for Ken Walker III. His third touchdown in this game. Two receiving, now one rushing, and the Chiefs have blunted open by 15. Chiefs get the win, 35-12 with a complete 180 second half in this game. A big part of, you can hear all the ruckus, people loving this victory. But the five sacks and different people. But George Karloftis right now is playing some football.

00:28:28
Speaker 3: And another pass batted down by number 56.

00:28:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, George was awesome today. He filled up the stat sheet. He had that batted pass. He had two sacks and three tackles for loss in this game. And it could have been more. It felt like he was consistently… right there. I can’t wait to look up the pressure numbers tomorrow. He was awesome here in this game. I really epitomized what this defense did throughout the game, especially in the second half.

00:28:48
Speaker 2: We talk about sacks and the number of sacks, but it’s what you do with those sacks. The Chiefs had negative 41 yards to throw at the Jets.

00:28:56
Speaker 3: On their five sacks, but it’s when they happen.

00:28:58
Speaker 2: They were so strategic, the fourth and two stop, the Chris Jones that led to the missed field goal. These were strategic sacks that the Chiefs haven’t.

00:29:06
Speaker 3: Had this year.

00:29:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, big time on third and fourth down, and they added up in the second half. So the Jets in the third quarter had two possessions. They ran six plays. They had a net of negative nine yards. in the entire third quarter. In the second half as a whole, the Jets have five possessions. They net just 46 yards and they score zero points. Outstanding effort by our defense in the second half.

00:29:27
Speaker 2: After the Jets had 171 in the first half. Now Travis Kelsey adds another record. He had the 38-yard reception in possession nine. That ties Rob Gronkowski. That’s 99 catches of 25 yards or more. most in NFL history. They’ve kept the stats since 1994. Maybe some dude from the Decatur Stalys did it in 1922 or Mike Ditka in 1963, but I doubt it. So Gronk right now and Kels for the time being until Kels gets another 25-yard-plus play.

00:29:56
Speaker 4: And the highlights are great, but what won’t be in the highlight reel is that 17-yard catch early in the game on our third possession.

00:30:02
Speaker 3: It was a great play, but, you.

00:30:04
Speaker 4: Know, Kelce’s had 100 more better than that one. But in terms of the moment, that play was so important. You needed a drive starter, a game starter almost. Nothing was going well for the Chiefs. That was a huge play for Kansas City and got everything going in the right direction.

00:30:17
Speaker 2: Chiefs got some other guys involved today. Emmitt Johnson, we know that. But a lot of three tight end personnel used in this game. A lot of 12 personnel, two tight ends. But Brenningstuhl got on the field. Wiley got on the field. And so you’re seeing some guys that potentially moving forward can help you, especially when you go with multiple tight ends.

00:30:36
Speaker 3: And how about Emmitt getting in there at the end? I was like, come on, score.

00:30:39
Speaker 4: I don’t want to take a knee in a goal-to-go situation. Emmitt is so awesome. That huge game last week, obviously. Great to see him get back in the end zone here today.

00:30:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, he likes the end zone so much. He did it two weeks in a row. Now, we’ll monitor the injuries. We just saw Jalen Moore walk by us, ankle injury. Xavier wore the hamstring, as we mentioned, but now we’re going to Atlanta, and you’ve got to keep pace. I gave the analogy all week long of the cross-country runners, but you’re now almost 2,500 meters into the 5K race, but you’ve got to keep pace. The Broncos won today to keep ahead of it. But you’ve got to go to Atlanta and play a mercurial Atlanta team that’s like this Jets team.

00:31:16
Speaker 3: They’re very capable.

00:31:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can’t quite figure out the Falcons.

00:31:19
Speaker 3: They’re super talented, though, just like New York is.

00:31:22
Speaker 4: And it won’t be easy going to Atlanta and getting a win. But right now we’re like in a one-game season, right, making sure we keep pace with Denver. Denver, like you said, found a way to win. again here today. Let’s keep pace with them. Let’s go beat the Falcons. I am going to enjoy this one, though, tonight.

00:31:35
Speaker 3: How about that? Let’s do it tonight. We’ll enjoy it.

00:31:37
Speaker 2: Then Bajon Robinson is on the sunrise somewhere tomorrow. Anyway, the Chiefs win it with a complete 180, 21 to nothing second half to win over the Jets, 35 to 12. He’s Matt McMullen. I’m Mitch Holtis, voice of the Chiefs. Get ready to head to Atlanta.
