Drama looms over the next six weeks. 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: The Chiefs need to take care of business week by week. 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,480 Speaker 1: That means they need to stack them up. But they 4 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 1: go to the most historic place in the National Football 5 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: League this week on Sunday Night Football to do so. 6 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 2: Plus Rashie Rice is. 7 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: On this edition of Defending the Kingdom and it's all 8 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: brought to you by Ticketmaster. 9 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:24,119 Speaker 2: What's it in motion? 10 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw a crossing pattern, com Rice starting hangling 11 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: twenty five up the sideline, fifteen. 12 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 3: Headside the five touchdown chardzas City the thirty nine York 13 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 3: crossing pattern and then zooming up the sideline. 14 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: Rushie Rice, Everyone, I Mitchel this Voice of the Chiefs 15 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: along with senior team reporter Matt McMullen. In this episode 16 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 1: of Defending the Kingdom, it is stack versus pack, meaning 17 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: stack them up? Can the Chiefs stack up? They're thirty 18 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: one to three, run against the Raiders and take it 19 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: into lambeau Field and then Rashie Rice will be our 20 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: guest and eight catches one hundred and seven yards, including 21 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: explosive thirty nine yard touchdown reception. Now can Rice do 22 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: it again? We'll chat with him later in the episode. 23 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 4: Yeah, and looking forward to that, Rashie was awesome against 24 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 4: the Raiders on Sunday, and what an interesting game it was. 25 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 4: It's one of those things that now in retrospect, I'm 26 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 4: actually kind of glad that we fell behind fourteen nothing 27 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 4: because we saw how the guys responded. Right, you look 28 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 4: at the final score, it seems like the Chiefs just 29 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 4: ran the table the whole way. But I think it 30 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 4: says a lot about this iteration of this team that 31 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 4: they were down fourteen nothing against a hungry divisional opponent 32 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 4: on the road. That kind of has them on the ropes, right, 33 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 4: And what. 34 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 2: Do the Chiefs do. 35 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 4: They respond to that adversity and they find a way 36 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 4: to win in convincing fashion. So, based on how it 37 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 4: all played out, if you asked me at the beginning 38 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 4: of the second quarter if I was happy with how 39 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 4: things were going, I would not have said yes. But 40 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 4: based on how the game ended up, almost a good 41 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 4: thing that Chiefs faced some adversity and how they responded. 42 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: The greater good kind of game, the greater good being 43 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: down fourteen to win by fourteen reminiscent of the runs 44 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: of Super Bowl fifty four and fifty seven then two again. 45 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: We'll have Rice later, but his catch on third down 46 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: for ten on third down and eight that was critical 47 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: in a touchdown drive the black hole no pun intended 48 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: of the first drive of the third quarter that we 49 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: talked about in previous episodes. He comes up with a 50 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: big nineteen yard catch on that drive that leads to 51 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: a touchdown and then to put the game away essentially 52 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: with the crosser that ends up being a thirty nine 53 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: yard touchdown. 54 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 2: It's that's the greater good in this game, I think. 55 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: And the fact that not only when he caught it, 56 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: how he caught it, what happened with those catches becomes 57 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: a greater good because it becomes a compliment, is something 58 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: to fill in the gap that we've been looking for 59 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: throughout the season. 60 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, it wasn't just empty yards. It's one thing if 61 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 4: you look at like a one hundred yard game and 62 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 4: you're like, okay, where did those yards come from? For Rashi, 63 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 4: it was like all big moments, right, you just laid. 64 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 2: It all out. 65 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 4: I think it says a lot about his relationship with 66 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes that Mahomes was trusting him in those moments. 67 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 4: He had four first down catches on Sunday. Two of 68 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 4: those were on third down. You mentioned the first one 69 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 4: on the first scoring drive. On that first scoring drive, 70 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 4: if Rashid does not catch that ball, okay, the Chiefs 71 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 4: kick a field goal, they're down fourteen to three. You 72 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 4: feel a lot better about fourteen to seven. 73 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 2: Right. 74 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 4: And then the backyard football style play on the first 75 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 4: drive of the second half. That doesn't always happen right 76 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 4: away with rookie receivers. They don't know what Patrick Mahomes 77 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 4: is going to do. Credit to Rashid for knowing what 78 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 4: what Patrick was going to do on that play and 79 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 4: being open and ready for the play. And then lastly, 80 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 4: the third down that ended up being the backbreaker. We've 81 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 4: been looking for, that knockout punch in these recent games, right, 82 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 4: didn't get it against Miami, couldn't get it last week 83 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 4: against Philadelphia. We got it here against the Raiders. That 84 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 4: was the play where it's like, Okay, the Chiefs have 85 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 4: this game, and that's really exciting stuff moving forward. 86 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: And also we don't want leave the defense out of 87 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: this discussion. In the fact that again a fifteenth consecutive 88 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: game and whole an opponent under twenty four points. That's 89 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: wrapped around two last year and that's kind of zeroing 90 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: in now on a franchise record. So defensively to start 91 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: the way the defense did, but the way they ended 92 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: it was spectacular to hold the Raiders to three points. 93 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 1: And here again we have seen some amazing things happen, 94 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: basically blanketing Justin Jefferson in the Vikings game, one catch 95 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: eight yards in the second half for AJ Brown, are 96 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: in the game for AJ Brown, and then zero catches 97 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: for DeVante Adams in the second half of that Raiders game. 98 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 4: It's one of those things where they responded once again. 99 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 4: I mean the Raiders went up and down the field 100 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 4: on their first three drives, only got fourteen points out 101 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 4: of it because of the missfield goal, but they were 102 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 4: five for five on third down at one point against 103 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 4: Kansas City. But what did the Chiefs do? They responded, 104 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 4: They adjusted and found a way to really limit this 105 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 4: Raiders offense. That's better than it gets credit for, I think, 106 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 4: and you mentioned this, the Chiefs have not allowed more 107 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 4: than twenty four points in a single game this season, 108 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 4: so eleven games this season. It's the long streak to 109 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 4: start a season of not allowing more than twenty four 110 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 4: points in the game since the twenty thirteen Carolina Panthers, 111 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 4: and for the Chiefs it's the longest streak to start 112 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 4: a season since nineteen ninety one. This defense is something special, 113 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 4: and it's kind of ironic because the game started kind 114 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 4: of poorly for both the defense and the offense, but 115 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 4: beginning at like the eleven minute mark of the second quarter, 116 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 4: it might have been one of the most complete games 117 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 4: the Chiefs have played, both defensively and offensively, outscoring the 118 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 4: Raiders thirty one to three the rest of the way. 119 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 4: And the offense gets a lot of credit for that, 120 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 4: deservingly so. But you can't have a comeback if the 121 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 4: defense doesn't play well. And the defense was lights out 122 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 4: after the Raiders' third offensive possession. 123 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: But this league is about stacking those performances up. It's 124 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: how you win a division, it's how you win a conference, 125 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: it's how you win a super Bowl. We have seen 126 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: it in the eleven years under the winning US coach 127 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: in Kansas City Chiefs history, Andy Reid, who now passes 128 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: the mentor Hank Stram to be in that position. But 129 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: we also don't want to forget any or all of you, 130 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: So let's jump in to the satellite that we call 131 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: the mat Stat satellite and sail around the Earth, fly 132 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: around the Earth in our satellite and check out are 133 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: around the world segment. 134 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 4: I was wondering if you were going to get to 135 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 4: the fire. 136 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 2: Should have four today because of rassy rest. 137 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 4: Well, we have a mind meld, my friend, I have 138 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 4: four for you today. 139 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: Yeah again, huh Yeah, he's brilliant, So tell me he's 140 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: a brilliant dude. 141 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 4: We've got a listener from Alaska.

I'd love to. I went to Winnipeg 178 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 4: with my wife years ago. It's the closest I've ever gotten. 179 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 4: But I'd love to go because you're right, it's like 180 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 4: France in North America. It'd be so strange. I bet 181 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 4: going to Montreal is like the weirdest culture shock. But 182 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 4: I'd love to go, Yeah, one of these days and 183 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 4: go to a hockey game. Yeah Canadians hockey game against 184 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 4: the Ottawa Senators. Absolutely sometime. 185 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: But love it around the world, So you know, keep 186 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: let us know where you're at all seven continents. We're 187 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: still waiting for Antarctica. You can't fake it. You have 188 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: to shoot like no artificial intelligence photo. It's going to 189 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: have to be real from Antarctica. But anyway, we've heard 190 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: from all the other continents and love you all as 191 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: Kingdom Defenders. Boosting this team, which is fun to boost. 192 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: So stack them up against the pack and try to 193 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: put together a consistent performance here because we saw the 194 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:40,719 Speaker 1: gaps filled in. 195 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 2: Go back to the last two episodes. 196 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: We were talking about coming off the bye week and 197 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: Andy Reach's so good at self scouting. Well, I think 198 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: we're seeing the fruit of that a little bit. That 199 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: first drive of the third quarter when I interviewed Andy 200 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: on the Chiefs Kingdom Show and on the Radio network 201 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: on Monday night. That's where I started, wasn't at the 202 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: beginning of the game. It wasn't It was that drive, 203 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: and he'd said, yeah, the guys are kind of tired 204 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: of hearing about it, right, But that drive was so 205 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: efficient five runs, five passes, and there was an awareness 206 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: because it changed the game. It went from oh, a 207 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: fourteen to fourteen game to now the Chiefs were up 208 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: seven and took the fight to the Raiders, where in 209 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: the other games the five weeks prior, even though three 210 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: of those five were wins, the fight got pushed back 211 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: to the Chiefs in all of those games, so it 212 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: was encouraging to see that they'll let to do the 213 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: same against the Packers. 214 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 4: I think finding that rhythm on that drive was really 215 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 4: important because I think it's human nature that you look 216 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,239 Speaker 4: at a couple of these games in the past, specifically 217 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 4: the Eagles game. If the game is tied, or if 218 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 4: you have the lead and you're trying to add to 219 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 4: it in the second half and things don't go well, 220 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 4: guys might start to press and that accentuates the issues. 221 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 4: I think finding that success and that opening drive the 222 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,839 Speaker 4: third quarter against the Raiders is a really scary thing 223 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 4: for the NFL because it's all of a sudden, the 224 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 4: Chiefs figured it out, and the Chiefs can move the football. 225 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 4: The Chiefs are not turning the ball over on the 226 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 4: red zone. We're not having these issues. The Chiefs are 227 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 4: moving down the field and doing what we know that 228 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 4: they can do, and they know that they can do 229 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 4: it as well. And then from there it seemed like 230 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 4: the guys were rolling the rest of the game. So 231 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 4: that confidence is so important, and I think when the 232 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 4: story of the season is told, we might look back 233 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 4: at that game, specifically that second half and think, man, 234 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 4: the season really took off from there, and that was 235 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 4: when the confidence was built that was sustained throughout the 236 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 4: rest of the year. I believe that, and I think 237 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 4: overcoming that adversity in that Raiders game and finding that 238 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 4: success in the second half is a big big deal 239 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 4: as this team tries to chase down its goals. 240 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: So now we flipped a page to the pack. It's 241 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: stacked versus the pack, and here's the pack. What's interesting 242 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: about this game full disclosure here. Other than Geha Field 243 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: at Arrowhead Stadium, this is my favorite place to go 244 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: for a game, haven't. We've gone there a couple times 245 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: in the preseason, not the same been there twice. The 246 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: Chiefs have only gone to Lambeau. Think about the chief 247 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: sixty four year history, only five times. Five times in 248 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: history and two in my brief tenures thirty year voice 249 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 1: of the Kansas City Chiefs. But it's really an interesting study. 250 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: First of all, where we stay green Bay small. It's 251 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: the size of Saint Joseph or Topeka. Wow, that's the 252 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: size of Green Bay, Wisconsin. It's not big. And we 253 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: stay in a smaller town, I won't disclose, not a 254 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: smaller town, but a town. 255 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 2: But you travel a half hour. 256 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: Through soybean fields and cornfields to get the Lambeau. You 257 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: see it on the horizon. It's like ten miles away, 258 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: but you can see it glowing. Especially with Sunday night football, 259 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: the lights will be on and you can see it 260 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: long before you get there. 261 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 2: It's like when you go to. 262 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: Alaska and you'll see Dnali right yeah, and it's four 263 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: hundred miles away ago there it is. But this is 264 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: such a remarkable place and the history of this place 265 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: is amazing. It's really the origin of the National Football 266 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: League as you think about it, nineteen twenty one, the 267 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: ACME Packers, but you feel all that going into this game, 268 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: and it's a great thing to feel. You also feel 269 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 1: Super Bowl One, the very first Super Bowl where the 270 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Packers and I know the Kingdom defenders. 271 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 2: You. 272 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: When you come to visit the pilgrimage to Geha Field 273 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: at Earlyhead Stadium, you feel all of the tradition that 274 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: Matt and I talk about that sixty five TPT presents 275 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: to you all year long. You sense it, you feel it. 276 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: It's even more history. Think about the Chiefs started as 277 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: the Texans in nineteen sixty in Dallas. Go back another 278 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: forty years and that's the history of the Packers. 279 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 2: Super cool. 280 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 4: I've never been there, so this will be my first 281 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 4: time ever going to Lambeau and I'm super excited about 282 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 4: it for all the reasons that you mentioned, just the 283 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 4: history of the NFL. It's so cool that this venue 284 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 4: still exists after decades of football being played there. And 285 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 4: I'm also excited that we're going there in December. It 286 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 4: wouldn't feel right going to the frozen tundra in September, right, 287 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 4: It wouldn't be the same some I'm super pumped to 288 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 4: go there in December and hopefully we get a big win. 289 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: Just that we want to have all those cornfields and 290 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: soybean fields to go through. And we've gone there before 291 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: in the fall that's done picked in, harvested and they're 292 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: getting ready for next year. But yes, it will be 293 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: cold and snowy, so we will go experience of the 294 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: frozen tundra. And I always go down to the point 295 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: of the bart Star sneak on the coldest day ever 296 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: a football game was played when they beat the Dallas Cowboys. 297 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 2: I always do that. It's traditional. 298 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,719 Speaker 1: I'll go down when we do field pass, I will 299 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: go to the one yard line where he snuck in. 300 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: The Chiefs have been there in my tenure twice prior 301 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: to that three times. The Chiefs, though, had a glorious 302 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: victory there in two thousand and three, very improbable victory, 303 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: part of the nine and zero start that year. But 304 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: this brings you back to your childhood. 305 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, So two thousand and three, I was probably 306 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 4: like ten years old, twelve years old, and I remember 307 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 4: listening to the game on the radio, listening to you. 308 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 4: My dad and I were fishing and I remember you 309 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 4: going crazy when Eddie Kennison caught that game winning touchdown, 310 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 4: and it's one of my favorite early memories as a 311 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 4: Chiefs fan where I was like, I'm all in, I'm 312 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 4: hitch to this wagon. This is my squad for the 313 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 4: rest of my life, and such a fun game. I've 314 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 4: in my current role, had a chance to talk to 315 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 4: Trent Green about that game, talk to Eddie Kennison about 316 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 4: that game, and it's one of those things that we've 317 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 4: had all the success now and Chiefs Kingdom over the 318 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 4: last several years, but those moments are the ones I 319 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 4: always look back on and I think about like my 320 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 4: foundation as a Chiefs fan. And I can still see 321 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 4: Kennison running in the end zone because of course we 322 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 4: recorded it and I went home and watched the whole 323 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 4: game and just an awesome moment here in Chiefs Kingdom. 324 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 5: Did you catch any fish? 325 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 4: I think so? 326 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. 327 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 4: So I was a boy scout, so my dad and 328 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 4: now were working on the fishing merit badge and you. 329 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 2: Got that merrit batch. I sure did. Yep. 330 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 5: Were you an eagle scout? 331 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 2: Yeah? 332 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, I'm telling you it's a who another level 333 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: with this dude, and they got the fishing merit badge. 334 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 2: You fished the day. 335 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: And what's forgotten in that game was the pick six 336 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: by Jerome Woods Rick Brett Fahr of the Gunslinger. It's 337 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: the first time the Packers ever and I think about 338 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: their history going back to nineteen twenty one, had lost 339 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: a seventeenth a seventeen point lead in the fourth quarter, 340 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: and it started with a ricochet pass from farv off 341 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: a helmet that Jerome Woods brought it back all the 342 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: way for a pick six that started the whole sequence 343 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: of events to win an overtime. The Packers were driving 344 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: with the ball they a'mon green, got stripped of the 345 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: ball and a refumble recovery by the Chiefs near midfield, 346 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: and then they had a corner go down and they 347 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: put like bow wow, Joe guy into the game. It 348 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: was like bow Joe or Joe bow or something. They go, 349 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: we're going right after him, and there goes Kennison a touchdown. 350 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: Chiefs went an overtime in a historic win at Lambeau. 351 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: Quickly as we closed though, let's just talk about this game. 352 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: The Packers and Jordan Love. They moved on from Aaron 353 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: Rodgers to go to Jordan Love. We saw Jordan Love 354 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: start against the Chiefs in twenty twenty one when Aaron 355 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: Rodgers had COVID. There was no Rogers Mahomes matchup in 356 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: that game. But Jordan Loved the last four games has 357 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: really shown I think what the Packers believed in that 358 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: he would be. And again this is very similar when 359 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: the Chiefs had played the Broncos this year or played 360 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: the Raiders last week. They're playing a team on an 361 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: uptick because they obliterated the Lions on Thanksgiving Day, which 362 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: is not easy to do a Piclary good Lions team. 363 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 4: And the key was the Lions gave the Packers a 364 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 4: lot of short fields and it shows that no matter 365 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 4: who you're playing, and the Chiefs have dealt with this 366 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 4: during this season, if you give teams opportunities in short fields, 367 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 4: good teams are going to make you pay for it. 368 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 4: And the Packers did that against Detroit. And this is 369 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 4: a Packer team playing with a lot of confidence right now. 370 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 4: Look at Jordan Love. So on the year, he has 371 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 4: nineteen touchdown passes, ten interceptions, but in his last four 372 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 4: games where the Packers are three to one, eight touchdowns, 373 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 4: two interceptions, playing really good football passer rating north of 374 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 4: one hundred. He struggled under pressure this year in general, 375 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 4: but in that four game stretch a lot better under 376 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 4: pressure making good decisions. I mean, he's a former first 377 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 4: round pick that had the luxury of sitting behind Aaron 378 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 4: Rodgers for a couple of years, So he has the talent. 379 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 4: I think he has the cerebral wherewithal to be a 380 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 4: pretty good quarterback in this league. And we're seeing him 381 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 4: really put it together here. And he has some good 382 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 4: weapons on this offense, guys like Romeo Dobbs, Jaden Reid 383 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 4: rookie at a Michigan State, really good player, and then 384 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 4: also Christian Watson and Dantavion Wicks. Each of those guys 385 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 4: is averaging over sixteen yards per catch. So this offense 386 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 4: likes to throw the ball around. Love so far, particularly lately, 387 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 4: has been pretty solid this season. 388 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: One thing they did in the Detroit game was they 389 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: made they took shots early in the game. For ten weeks, 390 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: so think about where the Chiefs were in like that 391 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: first of it possession of the third quarter. The Packers 392 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: for ten games had only scored twenty first quarter points. 393 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: They were at the bottom of the league or near 394 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: the bottom. They decided against Detroit forget it, we're taking shots. 395 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: Got one to watch in early that got things going. 396 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: And so for the Chiefs, I think they have to 397 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: be aware of that because Green Bay saw a little 398 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 1: bit of a form you of like, well, let's go 399 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: for it early here, because the first quarter had been 400 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: what the third quarter had been to the Chiefs. 401 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 4: They have twenty five passing plays of twenty five or 402 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 4: more yards at sixth in the NFL. It's one of 403 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 4: those things where you have Jordan Love, a first round quarterback, 404 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 4: figure out what he can do and just take the 405 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 4: training wheels off and fire the football downfield. And he's 406 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 4: having success with it because he has the receivers who 407 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 4: can create separation deep down the field. It'll be a 408 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 4: tough task for the Chiefs defense, but we've talked about 409 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 4: how Trent McDuffie and Lagerias Snead might be the best 410 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 4: cornerback duo in the NFL. They've shut down all these 411 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 4: number one wide receivers across the league. The guys in 412 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 4: Green Bay might not be household names at the moment, 413 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,239 Speaker 4: but they're good players and there'll be a challenge here 414 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:14,719 Speaker 4: on Sunday. 415 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: So again for ten weeks twenty points total in the 416 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: first quarter. They had twenty points in the first quarter 417 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: against the Lions. Now you talk about short fields, A 418 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 1: lot of that was caused by their defensive pressure. And 419 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: these guys, some of these names are familiar. Rashaun Gary's 420 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: been around a while, we faced him before, and then 421 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: you look also at Kenny Clark, who had a big 422 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: game that in Kennyson his eighth year. Now they're beaten 423 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: up on the defensive secondary. We'll see how the injury 424 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: reports come this week, but they can pressure the quarterback. 425 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: This is a team that's top six in the league 426 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: in pressures. Yeah, they can get pressure. 427 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 4: Rashaan Garry is really the main culprit of that, having 428 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 4: an icy year eight and a half sacks for sacks 429 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 4: in his last two games, so good player, forty pressures 430 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 4: on the year. They have multiple guys along their defensive 431 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 4: front though, that can get pressure on the quarterback, Guys 432 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 4: like Kenny Clark thirty five pressures, Presston Smith thirty pressures, 433 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,479 Speaker 4: and Devonte Wyatt, a guy I liked a lot out 434 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 4: of Georgia a couple of years ago. As twenty eight pressures. 435 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 4: These guys are good against the pass in general. They're 436 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 4: allowing just over two hundred passing yards per game. It's 437 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 4: ninth in the NFL, so pretty good. Only fifteen passing 438 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 4: plays at twenty five or more yards, fourth fewest in 439 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 4: the NFL. Have struggled against the run a bit though. 440 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 4: They're allowing one hundred and thirty five yards on the 441 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 4: ground on average. Forty two rushing plays allowed of ten 442 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 4: or more yards. It's fifth most in the NFL, and 443 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 4: they've allowed at least one hundred rushing yards on the 444 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 4: ground and seven of their eleven games. So we saw 445 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 4: Isaiah Pacheco have a pretty nice day eighty nine yards 446 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 4: from scrimmage against the Raiders last week. We'll see what 447 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 4: he can do. And Rushi Rice, who we're going to 448 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 4: talk to here momentarily looking to see what he can 449 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 4: do against this Packer's defense. Because Rushi is like a 450 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 4: running back in the open field. That's what Mike Borganzi 451 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 4: said about him when we first drafted him. He's not 452 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 4: someone who's going to go down at first contact. So 453 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 4: even though this Packer's defense is good against the pass, 454 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 4: I'm curious to see how they can use Rushi Rice 455 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,479 Speaker 4: as a quasi running back against them on Sunday. 456 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: So with Rashie here, now, let's bring him in and 457 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,239 Speaker 1: talk about how he can stack up eight catches, one 458 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: hundred and seven yards and a touchdown key plays the 459 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: first one hundred yard receiver this year not named Travis Kelsey, 460 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: and can he do it against the pack? Awesome to 461 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: have this guy with us on defending the Kingdom. We're 462 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: talking about stacking him up, so we're going to stack 463 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: it up. But first of all, this will be the 464 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: official announcement of how to pronounce his name, because this 465 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: has been chopped up ever since you got here. So 466 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 1: here's the drum roll. Your name is pronounced Rashi Rice, 467 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: Rashi Rice, not Rashi Rashi Rice, Rashi Rice. 468 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 5: We got it all right, Kingdom. Now, you know, it's 469 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 5: awesome to have you here. 470 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 1: And first of all, congratulations on an incredible game against 471 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: the Raiders. How good was it not only to get 472 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 1: to the number, but the big catches you may. 473 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 2: It was great. 474 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 6: I did it before, you know, the last one where 475 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 6: I finally got one hundred yards. I didn't even know 476 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 6: how many yards I had in that game. And you 477 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 6: know when I came off the field, I still didn't know. 478 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 6: I found out when I was doing a jersey swap, 479 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 6: and I was like, I should have kept my jersey. 480 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 6: I I got to contact my homeboy and get that 481 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 6: jersey back. To be honest, who just swap it with 482 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 6: my friend Chris from Georgia. 483 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 5: Okay, Chris, let's get it back. We'll get you another 484 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 5: number four. 485 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I get it another jersey. 486 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 5: Yeah. 487 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 4: What I think is cool about that game is a 488 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 4: lot of those yards were in big moments, and Patrick 489 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 4: showed trust in you in major moments. I think about 490 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 4: the first scoring drive, it was third and eight. You 491 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 4: had a ten yard catch, really strong grab later in 492 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 4: the game, like a backyard football kind of play. On 493 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 4: the first scoring drive of the second half, Patrick's running 494 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 4: one way and you get open and you catch the 495 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 4: ball for him. Then of course the touchdown was on 496 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 4: third down. 497 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. 498 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 4: What's it mean to you that your quarterback trusts you 499 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 4: in those moments and you're coming through in those moments. 500 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 2: I mean it means everything for me. 501 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 6: From him obviously being a great quarterback, He's been playing 502 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 6: around a lot of great receivers, so for him to 503 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 6: trust me as a rookie right now, obviously I'm not 504 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 6: looking too far down the road, but it just shows 505 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 6: me how much growth I have over time with him. 506 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: It looked like on the nineteen yard or on the 507 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: first drive of the third quarter, which has kind of 508 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: been the bugaboo drive we get a TD, it looked 509 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: like a signed adjustment. How much would you have to 510 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: adjust on that play to make that play happen? 511 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 4: I had to just a lot, to be honest. 512 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 6: If I wouldn't have ran while I ran, trave would 513 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 6: have got that ball. 514 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 2: I looked at. I looked at the play a. 515 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 6: Couple of times, and I'm glad that I made the 516 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 6: play how I did, because if I would have been 517 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 6: in the way, if the play wouldn't have you know 518 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 6: how it went, and it would have been all. 519 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 2: Bad for us right there. 520 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 4: So you never go down at first contact. That play 521 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 4: is an example of that. You forced a misstackle. Where's 522 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 4: that mentality come from? That you're gonna run over guys? 523 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 4: You're never going to go down at first contact. 524 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 6: I mean when I grew up, I was a running 525 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 6: back my whole life until high school, so I always 526 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 6: had to like I never really was scared of contact, 527 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 6: so I had to run through line and stuff like 528 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 6: that at the time, and now it's kind of like 529 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 6: I can use that to my advantage as a wide 530 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,120 Speaker 6: receiver because a lot of other wide receivers they don't 531 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 6: have that same you know mentality, you know after they 532 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 6: make the catch. 533 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 4: Definitely not this guy. 534 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 2: He plays. 535 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: I love seeing it when you I go here comes 536 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: You're trying to tackle him, like this ain't gonna work 537 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: out well. 538 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 4: The Chargers game was the best. 539 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 2: One fun question. 540 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: We'll let you go Rashi this stacking them up, because 541 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: that's our theme of this podcast today is to stack 542 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: him up. This league is about stacking him up. How 543 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: do you stack him up and attack the Packer game? 544 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 6: I mean it already started to be honest. Uh first, 545 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 6: you know, first day back, we're in the weight room. 546 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 6: I feel like you can't be explosive on the field 547 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 6: without getting your legs ready, you know. Get back to 548 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 6: practice and then uh, we're going to get in that 549 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 6: meeting room, get our plays together, and then take it 550 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 6: straight to the field. Make sure that we can have 551 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 6: a play. You a practice full of execution instead of 552 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 6: you know, practice some bad habits. 553 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 5: Ready to stack up another houndo maybe and go get the. 554 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 2: Packers Rosie Riss there. 555 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: So exciting to see that performance, so exciting to see 556 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: him and what he can be. But again it's now, 557 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: can he stack it up, because you get real excited 558 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: if he has a game like that this week. 559 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 4: Definitely. So you look at his the percentage of snaps 560 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 4: he played last week against the Raiders, he played sixty 561 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 4: seven percent of the offensive snaps. His snap counts have 562 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 4: steadily gone up all season. That sixty seven percent mark 563 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 4: is the second highest of the year for him. He 564 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 4: played sixty eight percent of the snaps against the Dolphins. 565 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 4: So if he can kind of settle in at that 566 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 4: seventy percent of the offensive snaps area, he's going to 567 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 4: get opportunities in the offense. And we saw it against 568 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 4: the Raiders last week. And again, I can't say this enough. 569 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 4: It's so exciting the different situations he thrived in against 570 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 4: Las Vegas, important situations in the game. It wasn't just 571 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 4: empty yards. It wasn't like one big eighty five yard 572 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 4: play at the end of the game. It was big moments. 573 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 4: It was third down. It's when Patrick Mahomes is scrambling 574 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 4: looking for an option, he sees Roshie Rice and he 575 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 4: trusts him to catch the football. That's really important stuff. 576 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 4: Building that confidence right now at this point in the season. 577 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 4: And he's so far, I mean, the last several weeks 578 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 4: looked really, really good. He should have seven touchdowns. He 579 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 4: has tackled at the one yard line twice against the Bears. 580 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 4: I can't get off of this. He should have seven 581 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 4: touchdowns this year. Just a really exciting young player here 582 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 4: in this offense. Awesome dude, Super excited to get to 583 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 4: know him a little bit better and let's see where 584 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 4: he goes from here. But you're right, you have a 585 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 4: great game. That's awesome. It's about turning the page and 586 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 4: moving on doing the same thing now against the Packers. 587 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 2: So here's how you do this. 588 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: It'll be easier for those of you in the southern 589 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: United States or those of you around the world in 590 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: the southern hemisphere. Do what Matt did in what that 591 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: would be twenty years ago, and that is go fishing 592 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: with your dad or mom and listen to the game. 593 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: I get Chiefs and Packers right now, watch us first 594 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: on field pass on Facebook Live, and then you can 595 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: listen to the game and go fishing, catch some fish 596 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: and maybe be exciting. Chiefs victory and maybe Matt the 597 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: Chiefs will stack it up against the pack. 598 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 5: Oh thinking, sting
