8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: Crazy.

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: Things are happening here in southern California. I'm sure you've

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: been hearing all about it, but here we are Monsey

11
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 2: on divisional playoff weekend. We're getting down to the nitty

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: gritty here. Next week, of course, we'll have the conference

13
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: championship games a week from tomorrow. First game of the

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 2: day was expected to be a one sided affair between

15
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs and the Houston Texans. But we're

16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: at half and the Chiefs look like a team that

17
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: has been off for over three weeks. And that's exactly

18
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: the case. Their starters have not played in twenty three days.

19
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: And the Chiefs are leading the Texans by a score

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: of thirteen to six at the half. But the Chiefs,

21
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 2: you know, usually right at the start of the game,

22
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 2: they had the big kickoff return penalty first down at

23
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: the thirteen yard lines, like, oh man seven nothing, no, no,

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: settle for a field goal. Then they had another opportunity

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: to score and the Texans defense held they had to

26
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 2: settle for a field goal. So so far, the Chiefs

27
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: are not looking sharp. But hasn't this really been the

28
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: story of their entire season?

29
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: The entire season?

30
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 4: And yeah, they do look like they haven't played in

31
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 4: three weeks, but they're also slowly getting into a rhythm.

32
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 4: I just could not stop laughing at Travis Kelce and

33
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 4: that catch that he could have gone in the end zone.

34
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 3: Maybe four years ago when he was a little faster,

35
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: but he looked a little slow. I that was my

36
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 3: favorite play so far, because I just could not stop laughing.

37
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: I was like, go, go.

38
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 4: I was yelling because I picked the Chiefs to repeat

39
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 4: this year to face the Lions in the Super Bowl.

40
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: And yeah, but I'm not surprised.

41
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 4: And I think they met in Week sixteen and the

42
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 4: Chiefs were up by a touchdown at halftime. So it's like, basically,

43
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 4: we're doing this all over again, but at least it's

44
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 4: a much closer game. Because last week the games were

45
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 4: a little bit of a snooze fest. I think the

46
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 4: margin of victory during the wild card weekend was fifteen points,

47
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 4: so at least it's a little bit closer of a game.

48
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 4: They're definitely the Texans are in it. It's not like

49
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 4: they're out of it. They just have to be a

50
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 4: little bit more disciplined.

51
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 2: Well, and again we're anticipating that the Chiefs do win

52
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: this game and then hosts the AFC Championship game. By

53
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: the way, their seventh straight AFC Championship game, which is

54
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: mind boggling, all of them at home, except last year

55
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: of course, when they went into Baltimore and got that

56
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: win against the Ravens. But right now, the thing about

57
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: the Chiefs is they had no run game. Outside of

58
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 2: one fifteen yard scramble by Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs have

59
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 2: eight carries for four yards.

60
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have no running game.

61
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: And this is why, you know, we've all been saying,

62
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: you know that game tomorrow between the Ravens and Bills.

63
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: And by the way, I check the temperature. So you

64
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: have the two East Coast games, so the Rams Eagles

65
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: game is first, and then you got the Bills hosting

66
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 2: the Ravens in the evening. The temperature at kickoff at

67
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: Orchard Park is scheduled at fourteen degrees. Now it is

68
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: freezing in Green Bay, it's twenty I mean, excuse me.

69
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 2: In Kansas City right now, it's twenty three degrees right now.

70
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: But fourteen, when you get to that level, every every

71
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: degree really starts hurting and it's only going to get colder.

72
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: So I don't know what impact it's going to have.

73
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: If anything, it might favor the Ravens with a superior

74
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: running game maybe than the Buffalo Bills. But there's still

75
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: that thinking that the eyeball test has been telling you.

76
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: We've been watching the Ravens, we've been watching the Bills

77
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: that right now, they're a better team than.

78
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: The Chiefs, both of them, both of them.

79
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: And the Chiefs have done nothing in this game, saying, ah, now,

80
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: the Chiefs are good.

81
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are just pedestrian offensively for sure, for.

82
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 4: Sure, But like you've said it, this is what we've

83
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 4: seen all season, and they lost one game, so like, yeah,

84
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 4: it's still working for them.

85
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 3: It's not they're not broken.

86
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 4: It's just not the typical high scoring maybe Chiefs we've

87
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 4: seen in the past.

88
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 3: I'm very the Chiefs.

89
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 4: Do the pair minimum to win. I don't think they

90
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 4: like showing all their secrets. I don't think they like

91
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 4: showing their playbook. So I think they do what they

92
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 4: need just to keep the lead.

93
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: So this is the ninth team with an opportunity to

94
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: win three consecutive Super Bowls. Now, the previous eight not

95
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: only did not win obviously the third Super Bowl in

96
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: a row, none of them got to the Super Bowl.

97
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 2: So none of the previous eight back to back winners

98
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: even played in the Super Bowl with the opportunity to

99
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 2: win that third consecutive Super Bowl.

100
00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: And there's a variety of reasons.

101
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: I mean the right off the bat that the Packers

102
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: Lintilbardi retired, the Cowboys probably had the best chance in

103
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: the nineties, and Jimmy Johnson leaves after winning back to back,

104
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: and then they fell short against the forty nine Ers.

105
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: I remember nineteen ninety the forty nine Ers have won

106
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: two in a row. They're heavily favored at home against

107
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 2: a Giants team without Phil Simms, are having their backup quarterback,

108
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 2: and Joe Montana gets blasted in that game. He has

109
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: to sit it out. Their offense, sputters, they lose on

110
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: a last second field goal. So there's a myriad of

111
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 2: reasons why teams have not been able to win three

112
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 2: consecutive Super Bowls. It is an insane task he tried

113
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 2: to do, and I'm still not convinced. Look, I'm with you.

114
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: I picked the Chiefs to be by the way. I

115
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: had them losing to the Cowboys. Nice.

116
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: Nice in my Super Bowl prediction.

117
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: It's all right, you picked the Broncos to the playoffs, the.

118
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,119
Speaker 1: Broncos in the playoffs, which I got.

119
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, I had the Cowboys winning the Super Bowl,

120
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 2: So how does that look? But anyway, I mean, right now,

121
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 2: the Texans have opened up the second half and they

122
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,559
Speaker 2: are moving the ball. Right now, they got a first

123
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: down at their own forty four yard line. So obviously

124
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 2: we're going to keep you up to date as this

125
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: game goes. We'll be here basically to the duration of

126
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: this game. Then, of course, a little bit later on,

127
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: we're gonna have those Detroit Lions back on the field

128
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: taking on the Washington Commanders. Very similar set up to

129
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: this game, where you're like, all right, teams had to

130
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: buy number one seed, they should beat the team that

131
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: they're playing. But if this game is any indication that

132
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 2: game might be a little closer than some people predict.

133
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 4: I think people are just riding on the Commander's wave

134
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 4: right now, right like, I'm surprised to see how many

135
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 4: people are picking the upset.

136
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: It's amazing.

137
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 4: It's amazing because I still think the Lions are going

138
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 4: to win. I think that the spread is a little

139
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 4: bit misleading, but it is crazy how many people really

140
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 4: jumped on the Commander wave after the wild card victory,

141
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 4: which I understand. Jan Daniels looks great, and he looks

142
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 4: great in moments that matter, third and fourth downs in

143
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 4: the second half.

144
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 3: Like in this game particular, the Texans.

145
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: Are moving the ball better than the Chiefs the entire game,

146
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 4: even though the Chiefs are winning.

147
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: Well, there's another factor in this that sort of blows

148
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: my mind. All right, So I get in why the

149
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: Chiefs now become the Patriots? Like you, unless you're a

150
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: diehard Chiefs fan, you hate the Chiefs.

151
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: You're sick and tired of the Chiefs.

152
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: I'm all about dynasties.

153
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: I heard Martin earlier, sick and tired of the If

154
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 2: we don't want Chiefs, you know, Chiefs enough Chiefs, right,

155
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 2: I get it. When you have a team that dominates,

156
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: it's good for I've always said this about any team sport.

157
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 2: It's great to have a dominant team. Yes, it gives

158
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: you a target, and whether you're all in or all against,

159
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: you have that polarizing team.

160
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,119
Speaker 1: And that's what the Chiefs have certainly become.

161
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

162
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: The Lions, on the other hand, sort of blows me away.

163
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: The Lions have not won an NFL championship in my lifetime.

164
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: Their last championship was the year before I was boring. Yes,

165
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: when Eisenhower was president and Nixon was vice president.

166
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: They gave this a long time ago.

167
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: And you know, last year, obviously they sort of had

168
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: their breakout year to get in the playoffs, get to

169
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: the NFC Championship game, losing the forty nine Ers. To me,

170
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: they're like, who can't Why can you not root for

171
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 2: the Lions? And yet there already seems to be backlash

172
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: against the Lions.

173
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: Like you said, everyone's like, oh, the Commanders could take

174
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: them out.

175
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 3: Yes, it's true.

176
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: I don't you like the Lions.

177
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: I don't know why are people already turned against the

178
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions.

179
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: I don't think that they've turned.

180
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 4: But I just think that nobody was completely one hundred

181
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 4: percent sold unless you were a.

182
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: Fan who was.

183
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: They were preseason favorites. They had the season that everyone

184
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 2: expected them to have. Did you see that last game

185
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 2: against Minnesota?

186
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 3: Oh? Wow, that game.

187
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: They just boat raced them in the They just absolutely

188
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: destroyed them in the second half.

189
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 4: You yell, throw the ball in that game, throw the ball.

190
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 4: I kept yelling at my TV, throw the ball.

191
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: What do we say all year long about the Minnesota Vikings?

192
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: Do you trust the Vikings? And I'll say I'll trust

193
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: the Vikings, But the question is how will Sam Darnold

194
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: fair in the biggest games and in that debacle and

195
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 2: then even worse getting sacked nine times? By the way,

196
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: the nine sacks against the Rams, five of the nine,

197
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: and I've seen a lot of football were what I

198
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 2: call freeze sacks. You know, sometimes you get hit. I

199
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 2: mean it just it happens too quick. A freeze sack

200
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 2: is where the quarterback can throw the ball away, there's

201
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 2: a there, he has options still and he ate the

202
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 2: ball fair and it just yes.

203
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you could see Kevin O'Connell on the sideline like, dude,

204
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: what are you doing.

205
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: You're taking these ten yard sacks, get rid of the ball.

206
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 2: And so Sam Donald for whatever reason, maybe it was fatigue,

207
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 2: you know, he hadn't done a full season like that

208
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 2: throughout his career.

209
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was.

210
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 2: But the guy that we thought could show up someday

211
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: did at the worst possible time for the Vikings.

212
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 4: Do you think that's actually in the grand scheme of things,

213
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 4: best case scenario for the Vikings moving forward with a

214
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 4: quarterback question? You know, with JJ McCarthy, because it was

215
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 4: like JJ McCarthy was a man, right, he gets hurt,

216
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 4: but he was going to be their starter. He gets hurt,

217
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 4: and then Sam Donald has such a great season ends

218
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 4: not on the highest of notes. So does that help

219
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 4: Minnesota in making a deal with Sam, maybe a team

220
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 4: friendly deal to keep him.

221
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: I think I think they have a lot of trust

222
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: in Kevin O'Connell. I mean, that's where it would go

223
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 2: because if Kevin O'Connell can make Sam Darnald into a

224
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl quarterback, which he deservedly got the Pro Bowl,

225
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: which was announced before obviously that last game against the Lions,

226
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: then they're probably thinking, well, if he can do that

227
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: with Sam Darnell. He could do that with JJ McCarthy, right,

228
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: you know, and we saw the best of Kirk Cousins

229
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 2: on him.

230
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: So I think that's where it's at. It's gonna be

231
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: up to him.

232
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 2: They're going to say which way should we go because

233
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: they have a lot of trust and should in him.

234
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 2: By the way, Hey, football fans, don't forget to tune

252
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 2: guess what Texan scored? That was the good news. Here's

253
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: the bad news. They missed the extra point.

254
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

255
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 3: Can you believe that it looks windy over there?

256
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Kyami Fairbairn, the UCLA kicker who had a

257
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 2: couple of field goals earlier in this game, missed the

258
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: extra point. So the Chiefs lead the Texans by a

259
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 2: score of thirteen to twelve. We got four and a

260
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 2: half minutes to go right now in the third quarter.

261
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 2: All right, we got this game going on, Big game

262

Speaker 2: more tomorrow to get the conference championship game set. And

264
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 2: Joinis right now to break it all down better than

265
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: anybody on the planet, is our great Fox Sports Radio

266
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 2: NFL insider Adam Kaplan.

267
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: Adam, Let's let's start a little bit with the Chiefs.

268
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: Right now, because this is a team that seems to

269
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 2: have been sleepwalking through the entire season.

270
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, as I.

271
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 2: Mentioned, Yeah, well, I mean it's amazing. You know, you're

272
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: you're fifteen to two, and it's and you know, in

273
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: the last game, you didn't play anybody, so you only

274
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: lost one game with your starters all season long.

275
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: I mentioned this Demonci a little bit earlier.

276
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 2: We've had eight previous teams went back to back Super Bowls,

277
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 2: and none have obviously been able to threepeat. None of

278
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 2: those teams even made it to the Super Bowl. As

279
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 2: far as they got was the conference championship game. So

280
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 2: when you look at the Chiefs, then they continue to

281
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: look like a team that you know, their starters haven't

282
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: played in twenty three days, and it seems to show

283
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: again today. How confident or are you confident that the Chiefs,

284
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: if they do prevail today against the Texans, should be

285
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 2: expected to beat the winner of the Ravens Bills game

286
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: playing the game at home.

287
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, they'll definitely be the favorite in that game. Now,

288
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 6: Baltimore certainly coming on, Steve, There's no doubt about it.

289
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 6: After losing to the Eagles, they've really turned their season around.

290
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 7: They've made some changes in their secondary.

291
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 6: They moved Kyle Hamilton, their star safety, who had been

292
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 6: playing a little bit of a hybrid linebacker position.

293
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 7: They moved him.

294
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 6: Back at safety. And that's helped stop giving up big plays.

295
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 6: So they're playing really good football. The Texas are a

296
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 6: funny team. Like two weeks ago, speaking of the Ravens

297
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 6: at home, they didn't score an offensive point, they got

298
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 6: shut out, they lost thirty one to two, and you

299
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 6: just would think like the Texans would fold because they've

300
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 6: had a disappointing season, But it hasn't happened today. Now

301
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 6: let's talk about the time off. So I could tell

302
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 6: you from talking to former Eagles president Joe Banner, who

303
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 6: worked with Andy Reid for nearly twenty years. Joe told

304
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 6: me that when they were together, they did studies of

305
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 6: rest versus no rest, and there was no discernible advantage

306
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 6: for resting players or not resting players. They did a

307
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 6: study going back decades. So basically, you leave it up

308
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 6: to the head coach to decide who should play, who

309
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 6: needs time, and who should be playing. Obviously, you don't

310
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 6: want to risk injury, Steve, that's a big deal, and

311
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 6: you risk being rusty, And yeah, I would say it's

312
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 6: fair to move this along here.

313
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 7: They do look a little rusty.

314
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 6: Offensively, I have not looked good the Texans clearer if

315
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 6: I played them, if we're being honest, the Texans have

316
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 6: shot themselves in the foot other than that awful penalty

317
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 6: and Will Anderson clearers. And by the way, Bill Belichick

318
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 6: was coaching University North Carolina, he's it always.

319
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 7: Got shot down. There are a couple of years.

320
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 6: That at the owner's meetings he tried to get you

321
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 6: could challenge any penalty or any anything, and it got

322
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 6: shot down because that's just awful. Can you imagine if

323
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 6: that would have cost them the game? That was like

324
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 6: the last play of the game. The Chiefs had it.

325
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 6: That's what you want to avoid. And that's the worst

326
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 6: part about it is when you're out playing a team

327
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 6: and the refs don't help you.

328
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're watching right now, the head of nice pass

329
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: play to Kelsey, you call back for a whole call.

330
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, the Chiefs are looking a little out of

331
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: sort right, a little bit.

332
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's still the Chiefs guy.

333
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 4: So there's plenty of game and they're technically winning. So

334
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 4: we'll see what happens before we move on from this game.

335
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 8: Adam.

336
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 3: The really weird play that started early.

337
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 4: In this game, the defensive back for the Texans, Chris

338
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 4: Boyd shoving that's weird. Is there more than do you

339
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 4: know any of Like it just seemed like this doesn't

340
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 4: just happen.

341
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 6: I don't know what we'll know. I mean, that's that's

342
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 6: the heat of the play situation. Chris Boyd's one of

343
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 6: the better special teams players in the league. It's always

344
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 6: been like a fourth or fifth corner.

345
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 3: It just happened so early.

346
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 7: It was like, yeah, that was weird.

347
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 6: I'm just telling you that when you go, when you

348
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 6: push your special teams coach. So this was not because

349
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 6: it was a great well. I mean, obviously he made

350
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 6: a great play and unfortunately didn't get the ball back.

351
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 6: I would think maybe the special teams coach said something,

352
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 6: maybe he didn't hear it right. We'll find out after

353
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 6: the game. Look, he's obviously gonna have to apologize publicly,

354
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 6: no matter even if they even if they lose, he's

355
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 6: gonna have to He's gonna have to make it right.

356
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 7: That just cannot happen. And I'm not going to cut

357
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 7: them for it.

358
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 6: But that that was weird. You're right to bring that up.

359
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 6: That was a bizarre play. I actually, you know, I'm

360
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 6: able with my DVR to replay a lot, and I

361
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 6: went back three or four times just to see if

362
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 6: I could see what happened. Yeah, and I could not

363
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 6: tell because you can't hear it above the crowd noise.

364
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 6: But that was a I have not seen anything like

365
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 6: that before. And I've seen coaches go out of coaches

366
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 6: and players go yelled each other, but to touch your

367
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,239
Speaker 6: to push your coach, like, that's like bizarre that I've

368
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 6: not seen that before.

369
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 2: All right, and I want to skip ahead to tomorrow's

370
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 2: first game between the Rams and the Eagles. So I

371
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 2: was doing a report last night on TV here in

372
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 2: LA about the Rams last time. Obviously they played Week twelve.

373
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 2: The Eagles basically ran all over the Rams. I mean,

374
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: the Rams couldn't stop them. And then I saw Sean

375
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: McVay talking about our defense is a lot different than

376
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 2: the defense they saw that day, and obviously they devastated

377
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: the Vikings with those nine sacks. Break this game down,

378
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 2: how do you see this game playing out? And what

379
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: will be the deciding factor beyond which team scores the most?

380
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 6: Point to be weather because we're getting snow unless the

381
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 6: forecast changes again, which look it's weather. You know that

382
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 6: you work at New Steve. It could happen. The game

383
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 6: is at three Eastern. It's supposed to start snowing between

384
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 6: eleven am and twelve pm local time and not stop

385
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 6: until eight o'clock at night, which means it'll snow the

386
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 6: entire game. Now, this is an unbelievable sidebar to this game.

387
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 6: So you might remember the game in twenty thirteen and Philly.

388
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 6: It was December eighth, twenty thirteen, So what do I

389
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 6: bring that game up? This is the only time in

390
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 6: my career that a team did not know was going

391
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 6: to snow because there was no snow in the forecast

392
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 6: and there was no snowe or the radar.

393
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 7: So I taught.

394
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,959
Speaker 6: I called one of the lines coaches who was with

395
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 6: them in twenty thirteen with another team. Now, so what

396
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 6: happened was the line it was going to be called

397
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 6: in the thirties, the players they didn't have they did

398
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 6: not have snow gear or they didn't have the right

399
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 6: cleats because there was no snow in the forecast. So

400
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 6: what happened was it was clear and warm ups. So

401
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 6: the lines go in, they go to the locker room

402
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 6: to have their their pregame chat with a coaching staff.

403
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 6: That come out and it's snowing and it doesn't stop.

404
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 6: This is a game with Sean McCoy had a career day,

405
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 6: and what happened is they had the wrong clats on

406
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 6: because they didn't know they didn't have clates for they'd

407
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 6: have the right studs and this game now, now here's

408
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 6: the sidebar of this game. The same quarterback, Matthew Stafford,

409
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 6: had five fumbles in that game.

410
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 7: He lost one of them.

411
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 6: The interactive third quarterback for that game was Kellen Moore,

412
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 6: who will now be coaching on the other sideline. It's

413
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 6: just a bizarre situation in the same stadium, Linck in

414
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 6: Financial Stadium tomorrow. Now the field will be heated, so

415
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 6: that's really not a problem. But you better be prepared

416
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 6: and understand, as you know, Steve, they don't sound like

417
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 6: they practice in cold weather or in the snow. Again,

418
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 6: if it doesn't change, it's gonna snow, and it sounds

419
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 6: like about four inches throughout the game. So in that

420
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 6: game in twenty thirteen, by the way, there were seven fumbles.

421
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,719
Speaker 6: The offenses didn't do anything. In the past game. There

422
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 6: was a high scoring game, but there were two There

423
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 6: were two special teams, which turns for touchdowns because guys

424
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 6: cannot get their footing Adam.

425
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: We were just talking during the breaker actually on the show, how.

426
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 4: The Commanders wave Like all of a sudden, people really

427
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 4: think the Commanders can upset the line.

428
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 6: I know what you know, It's funny every interview I

429
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 6: did this week, like the host will go, man, I

430
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 6: really think everyone's on jan Daniel's a gett.

431
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 7: He's a great story.

432
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 6: Uh well yeah, what what why do you feel that way?

433
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 6: I'm curious because that that is definitely coming out. I

434
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 6: mean I hear that a lot this week.

435
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 3: That's what weird?

436
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 4: Is it because Jade and Daniel because he tends to

437
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 4: perform when it matters the most, third down, fourth down,

438
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 4: in the second half, and so it's is that.

439
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 3: Where you think it's coming from that.

440
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 4: It's just like they think even if they're down, they

441
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 4: they have Jayden Daniels.

442
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, they've won a lot of close games and this

443
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 7: one is tough.

444
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 6: Now Detroit's been off for a little bit, right they

445
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 6: they talk about a team that needed to buy because

446
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 6: all the injies.

447
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 7: David Montgomery's going to play to night with the MCL's brain. Now.

448
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 6: The cool thing is games endoors no weather problems. This

449
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 6: is a game where you're going to have to score.

450
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 6: And the one issue that I have with the Commanders

451
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 6: is they don't have a very good pass target group.

452
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 6: Other Terry McLaurin. They have an agent, Zach Ertz in

453
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 6: his mid thirties. It was actually had a pretty good year.

454
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 6: Deanmy Brown is on a on the final years rookie

455
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 6: deal who could run a little bit. He had a

456
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 6: career game last week. But they just don't have enough firepower.

457
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 6: That's going to be the problem for me. And you've

458
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 6: got to get a pass rush. When you go against

459
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 6: Jared Goff, you've got to get a pass rush. Their

460
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,959
Speaker 6: path rush is okay to me. This seems more to

461
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 6: be a mismatch. Look, I know there's a lot of

462
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 6: there's it's really interesting that's been happening a lot of

463
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 6: there's been a lot of chatter on social media about

464
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 6: the Commanders of that team in Destiny.

465
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:37,239
Speaker 2: Now.

466
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 6: I would think the lines are based on kind of

467
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 6: their season and what happened last year when they choked

468
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 6: that ANOMSC championship game after halftime. They really should have

469
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 6: won that game. That was bad. I I know talking

470
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 6: to them, they have forgotten about that. So they seem

471
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 6: to be the real team of destiny right now?

472
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 2: All right, one final game, obviously the game of the weekend,

473
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 2: the Ravens at the Bills. I'm looking at an update

474
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 2: at Orchard Park. Eleven degrees, Yeah, eleven. I mean we're

475
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 2: watching this Kansas City game. It's in the low twenties.

476
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 2: We're talking eleven degrees and snow. It is going to

477
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 2: be brutal.

478
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 7: Today.

479
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 6: It may not snow during the game. We'll have to

480
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 6: see it. But you're right about the cold weather.

481
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: I mean eleven degrees because it's a that game, two

482
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 2: East Coast games, and this is the late game. That's

483
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: a six thirty kickoff on the East Coast. Eleven degrees?

484
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 2: Is that a factor for either one of these teams?

485
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 2: I mean, it would seem that the Ravens have the

486
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 2: superior run game if if passing becomes a problem, But

487
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 2: you think that will be a factor in determining which

488
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: team would move on?

489
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 6: Well, the thing is Josh Allen, obviously is because he's

490
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 6: played his entire career in the playoffs and called weather

491
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 6: at home when they've been at home. Now, they have

492
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 6: not played well at home other than this game, obviously

493
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 6: the game last week. They not have a great record

494
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 6: at home with Josh Allen. But I would say this

495
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 6: with the Bills, they kind of know who they are.

496
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 6: Nobody saw this really coming. They started doing this and

497
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 6: running it in the foot that they shocked us. They

498
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 6: actually came out in training camp but said we're going

499
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 6: to be more of a run team this year, and

500
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 6: they wanted to. It's because of the issues with Josh

501
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 6: Allen last year. In the turnovers, I got to give

502
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 6: Joe Brady credit. Joe Brady was fired a couple of

503
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 6: years ago with the Panthers in season, but he's done

504
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 6: a great job of reviving his career. He actually has

505
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 6: had a couple of head coaching interviews this week, the

506
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 6: latest one with the Bears, and they've done that.

507
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 7: Now, Steve, here's the thing. Look, before we get out

508
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 7: of here, Baltimore is gonna win with the run game.

509
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:28,959
Speaker 7: If they cannot run.

510
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 6: If they're not, I'm gonna say they're gonna have at

511
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 6: least one hundred and seventy five yards rushing.

512
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 7: Wow, they have like one hundred yards. They are not

513
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 7: winning the game. Now.

514
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 6: Jay Flowers does not expect to play with his knees brain.

515
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 6: He isn't practice in two weeks. They cannot get behind

516
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 6: this game.

517
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 7: They can't.

518
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 6: And in fact, I now, Steve, I'll tell you, they'll

519
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 6: give you a cool nugget. So I talked to an

520
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 6: offensive coordinator this week, a team that had played the Bills.

521
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 6: He says, Listen, they have a nice front, but you

522
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 6: could throw against them. If you could protect, you could

523
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 6: throw against me, because I wouldn't worry about throwing against

524
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:00,120
Speaker 6: those corners.

525
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 7: But see that.

526
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 6: The thing is, without say Flowers, other than Mark Andrew,

527
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 6: who's going to catch the football receiver?

528
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 7: They're not very good at receiver. That's that's my one

529
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 7: concern with them.

530
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: Wow.

531
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 2: All right, well we'll see how it all plays out

532
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 2: in the next Sunday. Obviously we'll have those conference championship games. Adam,

533
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 2: great stuff, as always, enjoy your week and stay warm

534
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 2: at him as long as you can.

535
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 7: It is called out here. It's in the high twenty.

536
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: See you all right there.

537
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 2: He is Adam Kaplan our Fox Sports Radio NFL Insider.

538
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 2: We're live from the tire rack dot Com studios. Now

539
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 2: let's find out what is trending. As Martin is standing

540
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 2: on by. Of course, he's.

541
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 3: Been reacting.

542
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 2: He's been co hosting shows and he updates and then

543
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 2: he does his own show and he does everything.

544
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 9: Because the call that was just made in this game

545
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 9: was one that I can't even accurately describe it.

546
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 2: So you had Patrick Mahomes sliding and literally two Texans

547
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 2: players collide into each other. They go, they go helmet

548
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 2: dolmet on each other, and they call them for reping

549
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 2: the quarterback.

550
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 9: And then to call it a slide generous, very generous.

551
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 9: Patrick Mahomes like just kind of goes dead weight and

552
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 9: falls down.

553
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: This is football.

554
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: See, that should be a reviewable play if you're calling

555
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 2: a personal foul like that, which is a major penalty,

556
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 2: and there should be any question at all. I mean,

557
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 2: somebody's like they never actually make contact with Mahomes.

558
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: Never they actually ran into each other. And it was

559
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: third and four.

560
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 9: And they just tried to give Kansas City the first

561
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 9: down on a third down completion to Noah Gray.

562
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 2: And that would have me just on top of the right.

563
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 2: Is the way it was with the Patriots back in

564
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: the day. Tom Brady got every break at the book.

565
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: But this isn't even a this. Okay, here's the thing.

566
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 9: I can understand questionable calls going one way, but What

567
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 9: I cannot understand is the not making of calls like

568
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 9: this was not even they did not make contact like

569
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 9: it's this is almost like the stakes are not as

570
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 9: high but up there with Nikel Roby Coleman tackling Tommy

571
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 9: Lee Lewis in the NFC Champions Call it.

572
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: For what it is, man. They need Taylor Swift, maybe

573
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: Kaylor Swift, Kayla Clark. All are there, everybody. You can't

574
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 1: miss them.

575
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 3: I wish I was there with them.

576
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: You can't miss him.

577
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 9: Thirteen to twelve to score fourteen minutes left in the

578
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 9: fourth quarter. Here at Kansas City with the ball, Mahomes

579
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 9: are one thirty five through the air, no touchdowns, no interceptions.

580
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 9: The loan Kansas City touchdown was set up by Travis

581
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 9: Kelsey's longest postseason reception in his career was forty nine yards.

582
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 9: He was rumbling all the way down there. He's got

583
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 9: three catches for eighty four yards. So far, he's been

584
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 9: Kansas City's main offensive weapon. It has not been a

585
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 9: high flying, high scoring game by any stretch of the imagination.

586
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 9: With both quarterbacks well, TJ's just over one hundred and

587
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 9: fifty yards passing at one hundred and fifty two. Joe

588
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 9: Mixon eighty four on the ground. He's been the big

589
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 9: thing for the Texas so far. As Travis Kelcey completes

590
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 9: another first down, Kansas City's gonna be in the red

591
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 9: zone here again with a one point lead.

592
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. This guy's been absent almost all

593
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: the season, and he's like, you know what, o'h wait,

594
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: let me tell you my watch.

595
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 9: It's Playoff's time to go one hundred and two yards

596
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 9: for Kelsey right now again, just about the thirteen minutes

597
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 9: left in the fourth quarter in the NBA one game

598
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 9: going on right now, one twenty two to one eighteen.

599
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 9: The Suns lead to Pistons with fourteen seconds left in

600
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 9: the fourth quarter. That's gonna be one twenty three to

601
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 9: one eighteen as Kate Cunningham takes the ball up the court.

602
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 9: But might be a little too little too late there

603
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 9: for Detroit. We'll see if it's too little too late

604
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 9: for Houston as well. Just a bit, but for now,

605
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 9: back to you guys.

606
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 2: Okay, Martin, I was just they just respect they're doing,

607
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 2: They're going, what's up. They just showed Taylor's swift jumping

608
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 2: out of her seat and giving an awkward hug of

609
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 2: Caitlyn Clark. Clark, she was standing there like, okay, you

610
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 2: want to hug me? Is that's your boyfriend?

611
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 7: Right right?

612
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 4: I thought I thought Caitlyn Clark was the one that

613
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 4: was a little bit like, oh, you're gonna hug me?

614
00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 3: Like she just wasn't expecting it.

615
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 9: See, this is not exactly Brittany mail Holmes Taylor Swift

616
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 9: here in that like they were more seemed to be friends.

617
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 9: I don't know how many times Caitlin Clark and Taylor

618
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 9: Swift have hung out before today. I know they've met

619
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,479
Speaker 9: each other in the past, but I think you're very

620
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 9: much in the moment of like, oh my god, that's.

621
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 3: It's probably a little bit starstruck Clark.

622
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 7: Wait is it?

623
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: Why is Kaitlyn Clark there?

624
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 3: That's a great question because what is what is her

625
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 3: connection here?

626
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: I think it's you know, Steve, it's a football game.

627
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 9: There's one hundred thousand people there.

628
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: But I mean city next to Taylor's.

629
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 9: They connected at some point through the w NBA sea

630
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 9: Is that what they did?

631
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 2: All right?

632
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: They shook off the hater?

633
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:42,479
Speaker 7: All right?

634
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: Mariam, thank you very much. I can't keep track of

635
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: all this stuff.

636
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 2: Once again, we are live from the tyreq dot Com Studios,

637
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 2: Fox Football Saturday. Really, if you look at the numbers

638
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: in this game, the Texans have dominated. The difference right

639
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: now is a missed extra point, otherwise they'd be tied

640
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: to thirteen. But the Chiefs are driving. They are in bosire.

641
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: Now third and goal, and this is where the Texans

642
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 2: defense Montse has really toughened up.

643
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: Look at that. If they had called that, they did not.

644
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 2: Fortunately, as Mahomes did the flop as he was being

645
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 2: pushed out of bounds. So third and goal right now

646
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs at the eleven yard line, and the

647
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 2: Texans defense has been outstanding.

648
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: In the red zone.

649
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 2: Let's see if they can hold up one more time

650
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 2: here as Mahomes will scramble throws into the end zone.

651
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: Touchdown. Goodness to Travis.

652
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 3: Kelsey ause he's falling to Travis kelce.

653
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: So that was a classic moment.

654
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 2: Travis kelce has caught more passes in the postseason than

655
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 2: any player in history.

656
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: And now we get the.

657
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 2: Taylor swift, Caitlin Clark hugging in the box, and Travis

658
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 2: kelcey now with five catches, one hundred and thirteen yards

659
00:29:55,680 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: and one touchdown in a season. Was such a dramatic

660
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 2: decline in his numbers that it seemed imminent that this

661
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 2: will be his last call.

662
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: It may still be, might be.

663
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 7: See.

664
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 2: I have a theory about Travis right now is that

665
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,719
Speaker 2: his brother is literally doing every commercial known to man.

666
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 2: I dare say, Jason Kelcey is making more money now

667
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: than in one year than he did in his entire

668
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 2: career as a center for the Philadelphia Eagles. He is

669
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 2: absolutely everywhere, and I think Travis is a little jealous

670
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 2: of that. But Travis Kelcey has been unbelievable in this game.

671
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 2: Five catches, one hundred and thirty yards and a score,

672
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 2: and now the Chiefs add the extra point, twenty to twelve.

673
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 2: Chiefs laid eleven fifty two to go in the fourth quarter.

674
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 4: That play was, Oh, this is why the Chiefs are hated.

675
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 3: He was being sacked and.

676
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: Taken down, but he kept his eyes down the count

677
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: and nobody.

678
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 4: Was guarding Travis Kelcey, who has been the only one

679
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 4: doing damage in this so you would think, but he

680
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 4: just stood there, sat, He didn't even he didn't have

681
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 4: to flinch.

682
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 2: I took my sons to a Chargers Chiefs game at

683
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 2: so Far three years ago.

684
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: It was a Thursday night game.

685
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 2: Kelsey just went nuts in that game, right, I mean,

686
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 2: I mean his numbers were absolutely absurd, and you're like,

687
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 2: and remember see, I always thought like they got rid

688
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 2: of Tyreek Hill, this was going to be a problem

689
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 2: because you know, back then, it was like pick your poison?

690
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 2: Are we going to double up on Tyreek Hill? Are

691
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 2: we gonna double up on Travis kelse What are we

692
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 2: gonna do? And so when Tyreek Hill left, I was like, well,

693
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 2: this is gonna be easy now. You know that's the

694
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 2: guy right there, Travis kelce And I'm watching this game

695
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 2: and he was wide open constantly. I think they had

696
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: Derwin Jane's in single coverage. I'm like, hello, that's not working.

697
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 2: Try something else. And right now, the Texans defense that

698
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 2: had been playing so well completely lose his sight on

699
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 2: third and goal of the eleven yard line and Travis

700
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 2: Kelcey is literally standing in the middle of the end

701
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 2: zone by himself.

702
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 3: No problem. Didn't even move to catch that ball. Ah

703
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 3: didn't even move it all right.

704
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: Well, the Chiefs trying to become the first team ever

705
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 2: win three straight Super Bowls, they got a big one

706
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 2: now and it's thought over.

707
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: We'll see how this plays out.

708

Speaker 2: Here, Fox Football Saturday, coming you live from the tire

719
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 2: Rack dot com studios. All right, the Texans have the ball,

720
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 2: they're down twenty to twelve, ten minutes to go in

721
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, and they have Oo. Wow, that was

722
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: a missed opportunity there by CJ. Straud through behind the receiver.

723
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 3: He got it two with one hand, but yeah, it

724
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 3: was behind him.

725
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: It was behind him.

726
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 2: Not a good pass and almost got it, but he

727
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 2: was wide open. That would have been down about the

728
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 2: twenty yard line. So right now they're in the Chiefs territory.

729
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 2: U Nico Collins had a big play to get him

730
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 2: into a Chief's territory right now.

731
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: Again, the the yards are in favor.

732
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 2: Of the Texans in this game. In fact, rushing yards

733
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,719
Speaker 2: are not even close. One hundred and forty six to

734
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 2: forty nine in favor of the Texans in this game.

735
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: All right, third and ten and they blitzed and knocked

736
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: the ball.

737
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 2: Away and they're going to have to hit or go

738
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 2: for four time. They're sort of a no man's land.

739
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 2: It's too long of a kick. Fairburn having just missed.

740
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: An extra point. He's missed a lot.

741
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 2: Man, He's I hate to say that about a UCLA guy.

742
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: That Fairburn chickers this year.

743
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 2: Remember how dominant the kickers were all seasoned long and

744
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 2: then the last maybe it's the cold weather or whatever

745
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 2: it is late in the year, but suddenly in the

746
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 2: month of December, all of a sudden, kickers are missing

747
00:33:58,880 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 2: kicks all over the play.

748
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, this year, I feel like a lot of the

749
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 4: kickers that a lot of teams relied on heavily in

750
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 4: the past, justin Tucker being one of them.

751
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 3: Also for the Ravens.

752
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 2: Oh, they're going for it on fourth and ten at

753
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 2: the forty yard line and they have snapped the ball.

754
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: Strata is running for his life is he just took

755
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: a sack in the game. That's it. Wow, he just.

756
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 2: Took a fifteen yard sack on fourth and ten. This

757
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,720
Speaker 2: entire that was just absolutely an abysmal call.

758
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: Abysmal.

759
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 2: And they have now handed the Chiefs the ball first

760
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 2: down at the Houston forty five yard line. So they

761
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 2: did a quick snap on fourth and ten at the

762
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 2: forty yard line, and the Chiefs just came after him

763
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 2: with everybody and they sacked him for a fifteen yard loss.

764
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 3: That defensive line has woken up.

765
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 2: Steve Spagnola, by the way, is interesting because his name

766
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 2: is being mentioned as possible head coaching candidate. Would make sense, right,

767
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 2: I mean, the guys had a tremendous run his defensive coordinator.

768
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: For the Chiefs.

769
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,439
Speaker 2: What people forget is that Spagnola was a coach, head

770
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 2: coach of the.

771
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: Then Saint Louis Rams. Look it up. It was.

772
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 2: It was bad, yeah, I mean it wasn't like bad,

773
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 2: it was beyond bad. Like he was literally one of

774
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 2: the worst head coaches in the history of the National

775
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 2: Football League.

776
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 1: Which is fine.

777
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 2: I mean, some people are cut out to be coordinators,

778
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 2: some are meant to be head coaches. But it would

779
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 2: be hard for me to ignore that on your resume,

780
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 2: saying Okay, you were given and this is.

781
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: A long time ago.

782
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 2: Say it's though, yeah, and it's like, okay, you are

783
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 2: you really head coaching material at this point, And even for.

784
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 4: Him, it's like does he want to do that?

785
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: That's a great question.

786
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 2: Mon. See, you know, sometimes you got to look at

787
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 2: your circumstances. This guy's collecting Super Bowl rings, he's making

788
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 2: millions as defensive.

789
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: Coordinator for the Chiefs. I don't know what is the

790
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: end game is.

791
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 2: But if he were to go and suddenly, let's just

792
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 2: use the Raiders as an example, that is a bad team.

793
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 2: He didn't have Patrick Mahomes on that team. He didn't

794
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 2: have anything on that team. You know you have Max Crosby, Yeah.

795
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: You got Brought Bowers.

796
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 2: He got two really good players, and everyone else is

797
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 2: just guys. Yeah, and then they're like fix it, yeah,

798
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 2: fix it, make it, make it work. I don't know

799
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 2: if I was Spagnola would want to do that.

800
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 4: And like you said, I have heard that his coaching

801
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 4: experience wasn't great. You have such great success here and

802
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 4: if I'm the Chiefs, I'm like, you're not going nowhere?

803
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 4: What do I have to do to keep you here

804
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 4: as long as you know, we keep the main characters here, right,

805
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 4: like if Andy Reid retires, if Travis Kelsey retires, Hey,

806
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 4: I think Patrick Mahomes, I.

807
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,240
Speaker 3: Think he might retire sooner than we think.

808
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I saw an interview Chris Shones, you know,

809
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 2: obviously the star of their defensive line, future Hall of Famer,

810
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 2: and he was asked about the possibility of Spags getting

811
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 2: an opportunity to be a head coach again, and you know,

812
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 2: he said the right thing. He said, Look, I don't

813
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 2: want to lose him. Obviously we're doing great things here.

814
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 2: But I also understand if he wants that opportunity, I

815
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 2: want it for him.

816
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: But sometimes you got to sort of take a step back.

817
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 2: I just know that there have been points in my

818
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 2: career over the years where you have opportunities and it's

819
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 2: like that shiny new toy and then you have to

820
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 2: take a pause and you're like, Okay, is my situation

821
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 2: here good?

822
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: And like, yeah, I really want to test the water.

823
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 2: And I'm telling you, in retrospect, I don't have any

824
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 2: regrets of any of the moves I did not make.

825
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 2: It just seemed like every one of the ones that

826
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 2: look so good turned out that it wasn't what it

827
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,439
Speaker 2: was advertised to be.

828
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 4: The grass isn't always greener, even though sometimes it looks

829
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 4: it right, but maybe they just spray painted it, so

830
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 4: it's not really greener.

831
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 2: And I like when people want you, that's the whole Yes,

832
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 2: you know, you want to feel wanted?

833
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: Yes?

834
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 2: Can I share this with guys that have gone through

835
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 2: divorce friends of mine, they've gone through multiple marriages.

836
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: See I didn't go that. There's a reason why I

837
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: haven't gotten married again. Yes, because this.

838
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 2: Is how it all works, right. So you're in a romance,

839
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 2: you know, and you're getting all the attention from the lady, right,

840
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 2: you're the center of her world, and you're just that

841
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 2: guys digging that, right, I mean, And then you get

842
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 2: married and then you start having kids, and then as

843
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 2: soon as you start having kids, you realize you knock

844
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 2: back and all the attentions on the kids, you know.

845
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 2: And I understood that, but every guy wants that, They

846
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 2: want all that attention, So then they get divorced and

847
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 2: then they go through the process again.

848
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: And they're getting all that recognition.

849
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the way it's supposed to be I'm the guy,

850
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 2: and then they go through the process again, and it

851
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 2: just keeps repeating itself over and over again, and now

852
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 2: the bills are potting up and.

853
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, you are no man slant.

854
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 3: So so don't do that.

855
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 2: But sometimes if I were Spags at this point of

856
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 2: my life, I would just say, you know what, I

857
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 2: really got it good here, Yes, do I really want

858
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 2: to roll the dice on a really bad organization when

859
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 2: I'm on the best organization currently going in the NFL.

860
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 4: And especially because he did try, It's not like he did.

861
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 4: It's like he can't. It's not like he goes and

862
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 4: it's like, well I should have tried that once. No,

863
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 4: you did try, and your success is here where you

864
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 4: are a big reason as to why the Chiefs are

865
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 4: where they are right now.

866
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 3: It's not just offensively. It has been defensive, especially this season.

867
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 2: Right now, the Texans are trying to make things happen,

868
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 2: but the Chiefs have the ball. Actually, the Texans have

869
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 2: just gotten the ball back. So the Texans have the

870
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 2: ball now, eight and a half minutes to go, Chiefs

871
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 2: leading by a score of thirteen excuse me, twenty to twelve,

872
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 2: all right, on the other side. More on this game,

873
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 2: and of course we got the game coming up a

874
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 2: little bit later on between the Lions and the Commanders.

875
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,399
Speaker 2: We got all covered and we'll preview the college championship game.

876
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 1: This is Fox Football Saturday, all.

877
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 2: Right, rolling along here on day one of this Divisional

878
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 2: Round playoff weekend in the NFL. This is Fox Football Saturday,

884
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: All right, Well, the.

885
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 2: Texans did get the ball back after the Chiefs went

886
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 2: three and out, and now the Texans just went three

887
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,720
Speaker 2: and out and so they punted away and the Chiefs

888
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 2: will take over near midfield with seven a half minutes

889
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 2: to go in the fourth quarter.

890
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: So right now, the two.

891
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 2: Time defending champion Chiefs are looking in pretty good shape

892
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 2: to move on to host the AFC Championship game.

893
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: Not over yet.

894
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 2: Crazy things have happened in this game. But if the

895
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 2: Chiefs do win, obviously they'll be hosting the winner of

896
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 2: tomorrow's game between the Bills and the Ravens, and you know,

897
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 2: we got the full weather report about that game tomorrow.

898
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 4: Woof yeah, the Chiefs before we move on for that,

899
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 4: the Chiefs have to be so excited that those two

900
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 4: have to go play each other. And you know, it's

901
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 4: going to be a tough game. I don't think it's

902
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 4: going to be a blowout blowout by either team.

903
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 2: No, but considering the conditions that are going to be

904
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 2: at Orchard Park, it is going to be brutal. It's

905
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 2: going to be whatever team survives that game and moves

906
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 2: on to the AFC Championship Game. So again, not only

907
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 2: has no team ever repeated in terms of winning three

908
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 2: consecutive Super Bowls, but no team that's won back to

909
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,720
Speaker 2: back Super Bowls has actually gotten to the Super Bowl

910
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 2: in that third year because the goal.

911
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 3: Every other team is the goal is to knock out

912
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 3: the Chiefs.

913
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: Correct, I really So we'll see how this all plays out.

914
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 2: But right now, just in the seven minute mark, and

915
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 2: they are in Houston territory right now, and the Chiefs

916
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,919
Speaker 2: have just looking like the Chiefs team we have seen

917
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 2: all season long, you know, where they just they're not sharp,

918
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 2: but when they need to make plays, they've been able

919
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 2: to make plays.

920
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, like after they got the ball back when the

921
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 4: Texans went for it and CJ. Stroud lost fifteen yards

922
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 4: and got sacked that drive for the Chiefs, it was like,

923
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 4: why weren't you a little bit more aggressive? Why didn't

924
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 4: you try and get at least a field goal out

925
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 4: of this? But like you said, they just really yeah,

926
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 4: we're good.

927
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 2: Well down eight right now, even if the Chiefs go

928
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 2: for and now they just broke a big run. The

929
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 2: checko right there was able to break a big run

930
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 2: inside the twenty yard line, so they're in the red

931
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 2: zone right now.

932
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: Things not looking good for the Texans.

933
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey in this game six catches one hundred and

934
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 2: seventeen yards in.

935
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,959
Speaker 3: The score postgame post games with one hundred or more.

936
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,479
Speaker 2: Yards right, more receptions in the postseason than any player

937
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 2: in the history of the NFL. That's a record that

938
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 2: was held by a guy named Jerry Rice. I've heard

939
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 2: of him, Yeah, but Kelsey stands number one.

940
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 10: Yeah.

941
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 2: I still got to look at Kelsey because it was

942
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 2: a struggle this year at times. I mentioned earlier, I

943
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 2: think he's jealous of the life his brother Jason is

944
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 2: living right now. He is living a charmed existence. And

945
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 2: why am I still sweating out here on the football field.

946
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,280
Speaker 2: He's obviously a first ballot Hall of Famer Travis Kelsey

947
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 2: do I need? I mean, they gave him a gift

948
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl. He did not earn that Pro Bowl bid

949
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 2: this year.

950
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: Interesting that he made the Pro Bowl. Mahomes didn't. Mahomes

951
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: didn't get any Pro Bowl.

952
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I don't think they care about that

953
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 2: right now.

954
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: They're Hall of Fames. The Buster are already in production

955
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: right now.

956
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 2: All right, So we now have the Chiefs again inside

957
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,399
Speaker 2: the twenty yard line and the clock is taking five

958
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 2: and minutes to go. So coming up later, we're talking

959
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 2: earlier about this Commander's Lions matchup, and you were talking

960
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 2: about this, Moncie. How so many people that you're talking to,

961
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 2: and I agree, a lot of people are, you know,

962
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 2: spinning it like wow, Commanders have a chance here, And

963
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm sorry, you looked.

964
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 1: Have you watched the Lions this year?

965
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 2: Have you?

966
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: They had a.

967
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:25,240
Speaker 2: Game where Jared got through five interceptions and they won

968
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 2: that game.

969
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 3: That's pretty crazy.

970
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know what it is. I think it's excitement.

971
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 4: I think it's a little bit of the Commanders. Nobody

972
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 4: hates the Commanders, right, like they went through such a

973
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 4: rough time with ownership and so now here they are,

974
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 4: and I think people are just like rooting kind of

975
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 4: for an underdog.

976
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 3: Which I agree. The Lions are also an underdog.

977
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: They are underdog.

978
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 2: Look, Commanders had an eight game improvement from a year ago, okay,

979
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 2: which is amazing. I mean, you go from eight wins

980
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 2: to twelve wins. And why is Dan Quinn not in

981
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 2: the conversation for a coach of the year. I don't

982
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 2: get it now, And that usually you're an new coach,

983
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 2: you take over a four win team, you're handed a

984
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 2: rookie quarterback, and you win twelve games.

985
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. That seems to me like coach of the

986
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: year material.

987
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's he should be in the conversation. It's just

988
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 3: that unfortunately for him.

989
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 4: I feel like there's a lot of coaches that are

990
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 4: in the conversation that you could really give the coach

991
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 4: of the year two and that's probably why. But I'm

992
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 4: with you, he should definitely be in the conversation. Yeah,

993
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 4: I think people are just rooting for the underdog and

994
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 4: like Jayden Daniels like he has been fun and exciting

995
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 4: to watch. But I'm with you, like, I don't get

996
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 4: how all of a sudden they beat They beat the

997
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 4: Buccaneers off of a turnover.

998
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 3: Really, not that you came and beat them.

999
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 4: It's just that unfortunately they gave you the ball back

1000
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 4: and you want it. But I don't see how you

1001
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 4: just are like, yes, I'm taking them.

1002
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 3: They're gonna knock off the Lions, all right.

1003
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,720
Speaker 2: The Texans held, so fourth and one right now, clock

1004
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 2: ticking for forty five to go in the fourth quarter,

1005
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,399
Speaker 2: and Bucker is on for another field goal a tip.

1006
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 2: It's only twenty seven yards shorter than the extra he

1007
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 2: has made it. So they chiefs now laid twenty three

1008
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 2: to twelve with four thirty eight to go in the

1009
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. So a two score game right now, and

1010
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 2: the Texans have got to make something happen real quick. Yeah,

1011
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 2: I just look at the Lions and how they have.

1012
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 2: You know, the question to me about the Lions was

1013
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 2: going into the year, sure, right, you know you have this.

1014
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 2: It really it stems back to two years ago, remember

1015
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 2: where they knocked out Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in

1016
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 2: that last game of making the postseason, and that was

1017
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 2: sort of the beginning. That was sort of the beginning, like, okay,

1018
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 2: they had made strides that year, but that was sort

1019
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 2: of the exclamation point, like we've arrived. And then last year,

1020
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 2: obviously they make it into the postseason and get it

1021
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 2: all the way to the NFC Championship game.

1022
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 1: So the expectations really hot.

1023
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 2: And you know, of tracing the history of the NFL,

1024
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 2: a lot of times when teams have breakout years, they

1025
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 2: tend to maybe take a step back before another step forward.

1026
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 2: And the Lions could have been team that they weren't.

1027
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 2: They were better than ever.

1028
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: This year.

1029
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 2: They have absolutely been the most dominant team I think

1030
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 2: in the entire league they.

1031
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,720
Speaker 4: Have been, and it's because they stepped on your throat

1032
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 4: even if they were up by twenty.

1033
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 3: They were like, we're not done.

1034
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 4: We're gonna step on your throat no matter if we're

1035
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 4: up by thirty five. And I think that's why they

1036
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 4: look so dominant, and you just hit it on the head,

1037
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 4: especially the Texans, like last year they had such a

1038
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 4: great first year with Demiko Ryans and CJ. Stroud and

1039
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 4: yes they're here now playing the Chiefs, but they did

1040
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 4: not play as well as they did last They definitely

1041
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 4: took a step back because that tends to happen. But

1042
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 4: the Lions, even though I picked the Chiefs at the

1043
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 4: start of the season to win, I don't think it's

1044
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 4: going to be easy for the Chiefs to beat the

1045
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 4: Lions just because of their offensive weapons they just have.

1046
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 4: They can go to so many different players, whether they

1047
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:52,919
Speaker 4: want to run the ball or they're gonna have Jared

1048
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 4: Goff throw, they have a lot of offensive weapons.

1049
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,839
Speaker 2: Well, Chris Burphat who is our register and I can

1050
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 2: say this, he is he's so thin and when we

1051
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 2: say Lions fan, right, but he is.

1052
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 1: He's a lifelong, die hard Lions fan. Well, I mean

1053
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: he does a Lions podcast and everything else.

1054
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 2: He wants to be taking them okay, And he was

1055
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 2: trying to convince us that the Lions would have a

1056
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:17,399
Speaker 2: tougher ride.

1057
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:20,720
Speaker 1: To the Super Bowl than the Chiefs.

1058
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 2: And I'm like, are you saying that the Eagles or

1059
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 2: the Rams are a tougher opponent for the Lions than

1060
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 2: the Bills or Ravens would be for the Chiefs? Like well,

1061
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson or Jalen.

1062
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:42,280
Speaker 3: Hurts, right, Jalen Hurts is third there.

1063
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 2: Right exactly, Yeah, and Matthew Stafford's right there.

1064
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 8: You know.

1065
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 3: It's like so.

1066
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 2: No, the Lions to me really have a cakewalk to

1067
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 2: the And again, the only way I can see this

1068
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 2: game coming up later on today between the Commanders and

1069
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 2: the Lions, it would have to be a perfect storm

1070
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 2: like the Commanders, you know, special teams, defensive touch on

1071
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 2: a complete meltdown by.

1072
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 3: The Lions, which I don't anticipate happening.

1073
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,439
Speaker 2: Sure, like what the Vikings did against the Rams last week.

1074
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 2: And I do not see that happening.

1075
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 4: No, especially we just Dan Campbell has really set up

1076
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:22,879
Speaker 4: this this mindset like again.

1077
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 3: We're gonna step on your throat every week.

1078
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 4: And I'm pretty sure even though they have taken how

1079
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:29,919
Speaker 4: many days off did you say, Well.

1080
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: They didn't because they played.

1081
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,959
Speaker 3: They did play, but yeah week, Yeah they.

1082
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: Have two weeks. But it's not like it changed it

1083
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,240
Speaker 1: three weeks off, right, because.

1084
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 4: You're right, you're right, because they didn't really play anybody

1085
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 4: in that last game.

1086
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1087
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 4: No, I don't see them. I don't see them coming

1088
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 4: out slow. I don't see them coming out with the

1089
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 4: rough start. I see them coming out swinging from the beginning,

1090
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 4: and it's going to be commanders having to keep up

1091
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 4: with the lions.

1092
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 2: I don't see too much of a well, we'll break

1093
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 2: down the other games course work have our picks coming up,

1094
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:02,800
Speaker 2: by the way, just a little preview.

1095
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:04,720
Speaker 1: You know, I did pick up a couple of points

1096
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: on you.

1097
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 3: You My math is you got one more point than me.

1098
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: Really that's interesting because Patrick has two three.

1099
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 3: You got three points and I got two.

1100
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:15,280
Speaker 1: He said, I got four points.

1101
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 3: Okay, we can exchange now.

1102
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 2: Okay, well we'll take care of that a little bit.

1103
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 2: But on the other side that we're going to be

1104
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 2: a breaking down the college football championship game between Ohio

1105
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 2: State and Notre Dame coming up on Monday, Fox Sports

1106

Speaker 2: Radio's own He's a legend in our mind, Yes he is.

1116
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 2: right after we get off the air. Well, it looks

1117
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 2: like doomsday for the Texans, not one hundred percent. They

1118
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 2: did get the ball back, so twenty three to twelve,

1119
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 2: Chiefs lead the Texans, but we're inside two minutes to go,

1120
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 2: and the Texans will need a quick score and a miracle.

1121
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it can happen, but unlikely to happen.

1122
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 2: So it looks like the Chiefs, who by the way,

1123
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 2: have not lost a home game all season long, are

1124
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 2: on their way to hosting the AFC Championship Game next

1125
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 2: week against the winner of tomorrow's matchup between the Ravens

1126
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 2: and Bills. We also have the College Football Championship game

1127
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,760
Speaker 2: in this endless playoff, I mean.

1128
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 3: This still still going on.

1129
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 2: It's still going on, still going on, and it will

1130
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:46,839
Speaker 2: end on Inauguration Day, which is Monday. Also the Martin

1131
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 2: Luther King holiday joining us right now, as he has

1132
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:52,720
Speaker 2: been so gracious to join us week after week after week.

1133
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 2: Used to be on very short notice, I mean like

1134
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 2: a minute's notice, and then all of a sudden, we

1135
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:04,320
Speaker 2: demand it, and he complied that just stay, just count

1136
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 2: on us calling you throughout this college football play at

1137
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 2: the great Aaron Torres is joining us right now before

1138
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 2: we talk about this Notre Dame Ohio state matchup.

1139
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: Aaron, are you are you one of those that seemed.

1140
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 2: To be irritated with the Chiefs. Have they gotten to

1141
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 2: where we used to be with the Patriots? Where unless

1142
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 2: you are a diehard Patriots fan, he just hated the Patriots.

1143
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: Are we at that level with the Chiefs?

1144
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 8: So it's a great question. First of all, thank you

1145
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 8: guys as always for having me no pressure. Producer Pat

1146
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 8: did say that at this point my name should basically

1147
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 8: be on the show. I'll let you guys decide that

1148
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 8: after I get off air. So it's really funny Steve

1149
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 8: that you say that. So a couple of things. One

1150
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 8: I want to give our colleague Brian no credit. Brian,

1151
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:51,879
Speaker 8: when he was hosting in Portland, I remember him having

1152
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 8: me on years ago, maybe after like the second or

1153
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 8: third AFC Championship game in or I can't remember, and

1154
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 8: he said, I think it was like the lead up

1155
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 8: to the Super Bowl where they lost to the Bucks,

1156
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 8: And he said, how many super Bowls in a row?

1157
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 8: How many Super Bowls is Mahome's going to have to

1158
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 8: win before we just get annoyed by them. And I

1159
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 8: think that we're sort of here. What I would also say,

1160
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 8: and I've said this on my show and listen, I

1161
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 8: know we're we're we talked sports and you know we're

1162
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 8: lucky to do what we do. I've kind of found

1163
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 8: the Chiefs to be about the most boring team in

1164
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 8: the NFL this season. And here's why is Jason Martin

1165
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 8: and I were on air last year as the you know,

1166
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 8: the fine as they won in overtime and get the

1167
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 8: San Francisco forty nine ers, that crazy overtime game, and

1168
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 8: I bring it up because you know, we talked about

1169
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 8: it for basically three hours that night. Was that essentially,

1170
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,359
Speaker 8: you you know, you can make the argument for any

1171
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 8: team during the twenty twenty four to twenty twenty five

1172
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:54,720
Speaker 8: NFL season, but ultimately, until somebody beats the Kansas City Chiefs,

1173
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 8: it's just it's hard for me to get excited because

1174
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 8: it just feels like, you know, they they just always

1175
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 8: find a way. I mean, we all remember last year

1176
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 8: they were what five and five at one point? They

1177
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 8: lost on Christmas Day whatever it was I can't remembrowe

1178
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 8: details now, but I just bring it up to very

1179
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:13,239
Speaker 8: simply say that I find the Ravens fascinating. I find

1180
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:16,319
Speaker 8: the Bills fascinating. I find the Eagles fascinating. I just

1181
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 8: feel like with the Chiefs, I needed to see I

1182
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 8: need to see them on this stage, and I did

1183
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 8: see if anybody is going to step up and be

1184
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 8: able to take their challenge. I know there were some

1185
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 8: controversial calls today, but so far we're alling on with

1186
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 8: the sex.

1187
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and what happened just now is Kenemie Fairbaron, who

1188
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 2: missed an extra point earlier, just had his field goal blocked.

1189
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: That was trying to make it a one score game.

1190
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: So that is it.

1191
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 2: Chiefs take over a minute and a half to go,

1192
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 2: and the Chiefs will move on to the AFC Championship.

1193
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 3: Game, just like Patrick Mahomes planned.

1194
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,479
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean he had his baby in the bye

1195
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,879
Speaker 4: week or yeah, so he knows what he's doing.

1196
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,240
Speaker 8: Eric, everything feels a little too script.

1197
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 1: That doesn't. It doesn't.

1198
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 8: Caitlin Clark's there today with Taylor Swift. It all feels

1199
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 8: a little No, I'm kidding, I'm I'm not gonna somebody.

1200
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 4: We did get tweeted at actually Steve that apparently Kaitlin

1201
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 4: was on I assume Kelsey Plum's podcast and said that

1202
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 4: she is a Kansas City fan because it's.

1203
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 3: Iowa's closest one. Apparently, so she's been a Kansas City fan.

1204
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 2: Well, we'll hold on a second. My sister lives in

1205
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:22,240
Speaker 2: Iowa and has lived there a long time. Her husband

1206
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 2: is a Lions fan.

1207
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 3: Is it closer?

1208
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 1: I don't know any cheese fans that live in Iowa.

1209
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 2: They're either Vikings fans, Lions fans, maybe even Bears fans.

1210
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 2: But Kaitlin Clark suddenly has become a chief apparently.

1211
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:37,439
Speaker 3: Not suddenly, she says she's been a cheese fan.

1212
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 4: Okay, anyway, Aaron, my first question to you is how

1213
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 4: soon is Marcus Freeman going to become an NFL coach.

1214
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 8: Let's see, so today is Saturday, Yes, a quarter pass. Never,

1215
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 8: he's not going anywhere.

1216
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,439
Speaker 3: He's not going anywhere, not this year.

1217
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:58,319
Speaker 8: No. First of all, you know, he just signed a

1218
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 8: long a contract extension, probably about three or four weeks ago.

1219
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:03,800
Speaker 8: And it's always tough because at a private school you

1220
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 8: don't know the parameters of the deal. But listen, this

1221
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 8: is what has held back a lot of these guys

1222
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,720
Speaker 8: from going to the or even taking other college jobs.

1223
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 8: That a lot of these contracts you have to pay,

1224
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 8: you know, a fair amount of buyout money just to

1225
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 8: talk to them. And so I listen, you never say never.

1226
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 8: And he's thirty nine years old, which is horrifying to

1227
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,879
Speaker 8: me because it makes me reevaluate everything that I'm doing

1228
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 8: with my life. But I think, you know, he's got

1229
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 8: I mean it's not in all seriously, he's got a

1230
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 8: twenty If he wants to try the NFL, he's got

1231
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 8: a twenty year runway to do it. And I think

1232
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 8: right now he's winning at a really high level at

1233
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 8: one of the most prestigious jobs in football already. Now Listen,

1234
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 8: like anybody else, whether it's Nick Saban, whether it's whoever,

1235
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 8: you wonder if at some point he's going to want

1236
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 8: to test himself at that level, maybe nil and all

1237
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 8: that gets more out of control and he says enough

1238
00:56:57,719 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 8: is enough. I would say this. I kind of thought

1239
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 8: Notre was kind of a tough job in this portal

1240
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 8: nil world, but he's making it work. So again, if

1241
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 8: he was in a spot where he just felt like

1242
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 8: he couldn't win, and you know whatever, but he's obviously

1243
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,840
Speaker 8: winning at a high level. I get the talk, but

1244
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 8: I just I don't see it this year. I really don't.

1245
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 8: And by the way, since I'm on the show every week,

1246
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 8: if next week he's introduced as the Bears coach or whatever,

1247
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 8: you know, feel free to throw it in my face.

1248
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 8: But I just don't see it, especially all I know you,

1249
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 8: I have zero doubts that you will, but don't. I

1250
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 8: don't think it would. I don't think it'll happen this all.

1251
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 2: Well, we go back to twenty twelve when they were undefeated,

1252
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 2: you know, the Manti Tale year, and you know, they

1253
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 2: played Alabama and the VCS championship game and just got

1254
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 2: absolutely annihilated in that game.

1255
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 1: Then they had one other playoff appearance in which they

1256
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 1: got annihilated.

1257
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:50,280
Speaker 2: They played well in this postseason, but it looks like

1258
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 2: they are overmatched against Ohio State.

1259
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 1: So give me a scenario.

1260
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 2: What will have to happen beyond obviously scoring more points

1261
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 2: for this Notre Dame team to actually become a national

1262
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 2: champion for the first time since nineteen eighty eight.

1263
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 8: Well, I think there's a very obvious scenario where it

1264
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 8: could happen. I agree with you, they look over matched

1265
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 8: on paper. We could talk about my pick here in

1266
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 8: a minute, but like I think the very obvious scenario

1267
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 8: is that Notre Dame leaves the country and force turnovers. Now,

1268
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 8: admittedly they've played a few more games than virtually every team.

1269
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 8: They're also I believe number two and interceptions, and Will

1270
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 8: Howard has been a little bit reckless with the ball,

1271
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 8: although he's obviously played excellent in the playoffs. So that's

1272
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 8: the scenarios. I think, you know, multiple force turnovers, probably

1273
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 8: from the secondary, maybe one brought back for a touchdown.

1274
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:43,959
Speaker 8: That's the scenario. But I'll just say really quickly, Steven, Steve,

1275
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 8: I actually have a question for you before we get

1276
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 8: out of here. But that is the scenario. But I

1277
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 8: agree with you. I think this is the game where

1278
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 8: not only there's only a talent descrepant dam mean, you

1279
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 8: start to look at the injuries that are piling up.

1280
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 8: This is what we talked about over the course of

1281
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 8: the you know, of the spring in summer, as we

1282
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 8: started thinking about this twelve team playoff. Is you know,

1283
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 8: this isn't the NFL. You can't sign guys off the street,

1284
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 8: you know, off practice squad. Who's going to be healthy

1285
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 8: through sixteen seventeen games, and you look at Notre Dame.

1286
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 8: Riley Leonard was in and out of concussion protocol. Jeremiah Love.

1287
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 8: I know they're saying he's pretty close to one hundred percent,

1288
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 8: but he's in that big knee brace. Last game. Riley

1289
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 8: Mills is out the offensive tackles that I think that's

1290
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 8: going to be the expector of this game.

1291
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 2: Okay, So, by the way, did I see a safety

1292
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 2: in this game?

1293
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 7: Yes?

1294
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 2: Okay, so it's twenty three to four hold on the

1295
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 2: line on this game, if I'm not mistaken, was nine.

1296
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 3: And a half correct?

1297
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 1: Unbelievableugh, So, Aaron, think about this.

1298
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 2: It was twenty three to twelve and the Chiefs take

1299
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 2: a safety.

1300
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 1: And now the score is twenty three to fourteen. This

1301
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: is why I don't gamble.

1302
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 2: This is why people was like, you know, you've been

1303
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 2: doing sports your whole life.

1304
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: To you do you bet on games? I go, I

1305
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: do not bet on games for this exact reason. Can

1306
00:59:59,120 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: you imagine?

1307
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 2: I mean nine and a half point spread and they

1308
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 2: take an intentional safety, so instead of winning by eleven,

1309
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:06,919
Speaker 2: they win by nine.

1310
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, Martin and I are happy because we took how

1311
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 4: do we how do we not suspicious at things like this?

1312
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 1: That's what I want to know.

1313
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean no, of course matter Rise.

1314
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 2: Took the intentional safety the punter of the Chiefs and

1315
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 2: there you go.

1316
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, by the way.

1317
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 8: No, it's okay. I actually forgot what I was going

1318
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 8: to ask you, Steve Don't so this was good vamping.

1319
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 1: Yah.

1320
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 8: I know it was actually pretty important, but I actually

1321
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 8: forget what I was going to add. It was something

1322
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 8: relative to either the playoff or college football in general.

1323
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 8: Oh oh, this is what I wanted to ask you

1324
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 8: because this is going to be a topic on today's

1325
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 8: show really quick, and I know we're probably short on time,

1326
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 8: are but you I think you both were in the

1327
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 8: same proponent of me of after Ryan Day lost to Michigan,

1328
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 8: if he you know, if you lost to Tennessee. I

1329
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 8: think there was a real conversation.

1330
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's gone this year.

1331
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 8: So here's my question, if they somehow lose this game,

1332
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 8: is there any sort of good grace with Ryan Day

1333
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 8: or no? Because every lay out the scenario, it sounds crazy, right,

1334
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 8: you finished second in the season, But here's the argument,

1335
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 8: is that you now have four years straight where you

1336
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 8: haven't won a Big Ten title, you haven't even played

1337
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 8: in the Big Ten championship game, you haven't being your

1338
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 8: primary rival. And the saving grace was we now have

1339
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 8: this expanded playoff where you can get in without winning

1340
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:25,479
Speaker 8: the Big Ten and you didn't win a national championship either,

1341
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 8: so the national championship was well, at least now you

1342
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 8: can get in if you have a good season but

1343
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 8: a not great season. Where do you stand on? How

1344
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 8: will and how should Ohio State fans they if they

1345
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 8: don't win this game? How should they feel about this guy?

1346
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 8: Because he's gotten a lot of good will the last

1347
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 8: couple of weeks. But I think we all see that

1348
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 8: good will under the assumption that he's going to go

1349
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 8: ahead and finish this out with a winning gainst notre dame.

1350
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 2: I would say he's only in trouble if they have

1351
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 2: an obvious replacement.

1352
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I don't think he's going to get fired.

1353
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 2: I just well, but my whole point is if they

1354
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 2: have somebody in mind, maybe they were thinking of somebody

1355
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 2: after the loss of mission, Like, all right, he's one

1356
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 2: loss away from losing his gig.

1357
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 1: Who are we replacing him with? You're gonna bring Davin

1358
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:12,439
Speaker 1: Meyer back. I mean, I don't. I don't know who

1359
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 1: else is going to step in that job.

1360
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 2: So I in the unlikely I believe scenario them losing

1361
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 2: a Notre Dame, I think Ryan Day's safe.

1362
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, I would just say I wouldn't lose.

1363
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 1: The Michigan next year again.

1364
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 8: Then yeah, well that was a caveat this year. To

1365
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 8: Michigan again next year. No, And so that's my whole thing.

1366
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 8: He's clear not getting fired at this point. But like

1367
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 8: the whole thing was like, you know, one, do you

1368
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 8: bring him back? Whatever? But to you know, his reportedly

1369
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 8: his kids are getting harassed at school. You know, there

1370
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 8: was a report that there were police outside his house

1371
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,240
Speaker 8: after the Michigan game, And it was like the only

1372
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 8: way to get back in the good graces of of

1373
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 8: Ohio State fans was to go ahead and win this

1374
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,320
Speaker 8: national championship. So I'm not saying like he's and I'm

1375
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 8: not this kind of mean spirit. I'm not saying his

1376
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 8: kids like whatever. But I I guess just the point

1377
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 8: I'm trying to make is like, if I'm an Ohio

1378
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:06,160
Speaker 8: State fan, do I forgive all these Michigan losses whatever?

1379
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 8: Because he did get us to the stage, but I

1380
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 8: guess he's still got to wrap it up by actually

1381
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 8: winning the title on.

1382
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 3: On Monday night Eron, I'm gonna put you on the spot.

1383
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 3: What's the finals we're going to be?

1384
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 8: I have said twenty four to ten Ohio State wins.

1385
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 8: We always kind of default to higher scores than it is.

1386
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:25,479
Speaker 8: These are two elite defenses. Notre Name really all season long,

1387
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 8: has not shown a passing game. I don't think he's

1388
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 8: gonna be one dimensional against this Ohio State team. So,

1389
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:33,919
Speaker 8: like I said, the only scenario that I see Notre

1390
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 8: Dame winning is if they have multiple force turnovers probably

1391
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 8: convert them directly into points. I don't think that's going

1392
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:42,439
Speaker 8: to happen, So I'll stay twenty four to ten Ohio State.

1393
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 2: All right, Well, Aaron, thank you so much, and we're

1394
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 2: going to figure out ways to continue our conversation week

1395
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 2: after week after that. Yes, you get started, then we're

1396
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 2: just getting started. The great Aaron tours everybody here on

1397
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio tied.

1398
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 1: Now let's find out what is trending mean.

1399
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 2: There's a man that was literally jumping up through the

1400
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 2: stratosphere when mat Rise of the punter for the Chiefs

1401
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 2: intentionally took the safety to give the Texans the cover

1402
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 2: as nine and a half point dogs to the Chiefs.

1403
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that seems ridiculous.

1404
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 1: Why were you so excited? Ah, what exactly?

1405
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 4: Seemed ridiculous And it seems like they did it on purpose.

1406
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 1: Okay, see, let me explain it.

1407
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 2: Was it really necessary? It was a two score game.

1408
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 2: I mean there was no time left. It was not

1409
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:37,240
Speaker 2: like the Texans were gonna score twice. There was no

1410
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 2: way they could have scored twice.

1411
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 1: I mean they would have looked, what was there seven

1412
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:44,479
Speaker 1: seconds left? How long is it? No, it was seven

1413
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:46,479
Speaker 1: seconds by the end of the place. So say he had.

1414
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 9: So hey, if he kicks it and returns it, you know,

1415
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 9: saying whatever, they score a touchdown. That's another play where

1416
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 9: you could score a touchdown. Those kick returns and plus

1417
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 9: kick returns, new rules on that funny stuff.

1418
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 1: Come on, it's something very suspicious. No no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

1419
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 1: Because here's the thing.

1420
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 2: And by the way, Taylor Swift was more excited about

1421
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 2: that than any of her boyfriend's catches.

1422
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 1: Why was she, Well, he was very busy. I don't know.

1423
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: That was a lot of catches for Travis today. We'll

1424
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:15,479
Speaker 1: get to that just a second.

1425
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 9: But Steve, see you lose all your bets, so that's

1426
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 9: why you have this attitude of this guy is far less.

1427
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 7: This goes back.

1428
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 1: I don't have enough time to explain.

1429
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:25,920
Speaker 2: One day, I will tell you the the god awful

1430
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 2: truth of my gambling history that dates back more than

1431
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 2: forty years ago, and a certain trend that happened in

1432
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 2: about a two month span that changed me forever, forever,

1433
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 2: well forever.

1434
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 9: In this instance, people like you and others will be like, ooh,

1435
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 9: this was fishy, you know what it was?

1436
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 1: This was righteous.

1437
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 9: This was a righteous win for the underdogs that Houston

1438
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 9: Texans had.

1439
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 1: This was a one.

1440
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 9: Score game the entirety of it until the very until

1441
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 9: the last seven minutes and fairbarn missing three kicks, two

1442
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 9: field goals, and an extra point, and then Houston deserved

1443
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 9: to cover this game. And if you bet Houston, congratulations.

1444
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 9: Don't let anybody tell you different. Twenty three to fourteen

1445
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 9: is the final score here as Kansas City advances, Houston covers.

1446
01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 1: As we just covered, Kyomie Fairbairn was.

1447
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,200
Speaker 9: A horrendous today, two for four and the two field

1448
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 9: goals that went in looked like Ducks missed an extra point.

1449
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:24,040
Speaker 9: Houston in general rough showing in this game, even though

1450
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 9: it was I'd say they had They kept the close

1451
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 9: but eight sacks on CJ.

1452
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:31,640
Speaker 1: Stroud.

1453
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 9: He had less than two hundred fifty yards passing, no touchdowns,

1454
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 9: no interceptions. Joe Mixon was a bright spot with four

1455
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 9: point nine yards to carry, eighty eight yards and a touchdown,

1456
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 9: but Houston offense wasn't really able to get things going.

1457
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 9: Patrick Mahomes after what was one of the worst calls

1458
01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 9: that you will ever see on the was just what

1459
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 9: was it unnecessary roughness in which Patrick Mahomes was quite

1460
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 9: literally not touched, but that kept the drive alive in

1461
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 9: the fourth quarter that was able to give Kansas City

1462
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 9: the two schools lead twenty three to fourteen to score.

1463
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:05,439
Speaker 9: Kansas City advances to the next round. Texans are shit

1464
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 9: going home. In the NBA, the Suns beat the Pistons

1465
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 9: one twenty five to one twenty one. Kevin Durant had

1466
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 9: thirty six points in the first quarter of the seventy

1467
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 9: six ers and the Pacers are tied at twenty two

1468
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:17,720
Speaker 9: and late in the first quarter of the Celtics have

1469
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 9: a twenty eight to nineteen lead over the Hawks.

1470
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:23,920
Speaker 2: Great, it's not, Martin, unbelievable. But that's the most reaction

1471
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:25,840
Speaker 2: I've seen out of you in a long time.

1472
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 1: See, because here's the deal.

1473
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 9: I just quickly I won our NFL Picks competition by

1474
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:34,800
Speaker 9: one pick me and VJ the show that comes on

1475
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:38,800
Speaker 9: next here. I was down because I had the Broncos

1476
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 9: covering against the Bills, and that was just what we

1477
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 9: call B two. A did no chance of that covering.

1478
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 9: So we were on opposite sides here. So now I've

1479
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 9: made up a game that's big. Okay, Well you guys

1480
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 9: no grid Iron geniuses, Yeah we are. We got that

1481
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 9: coming up here once again.

1482
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 1: Thank you, Martin.

1483
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 2: Fox Football Saturday, We're alive from the tirerech dot Com studio.

1484
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 1: All right, it is that time, all right, So we're

1485
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 1: gonna shorten this part of it.

1486
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 2: So last week we decided, or I decided, in a

1487
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 2: desperate effort, is try to get back into this to

1488
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:19,080
Speaker 2: bet against the spreads. Now, Patrick has admitted to all

1489
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:21,479
Speaker 2: of us that math is not his strongest suit.

1490
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 1: It really is.

1491
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 2: And I, you know, and I'm a numbers guy, so

1492
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 2: I just I wrongfully assume everyone.

1493
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:30,800
Speaker 1: Just is good with numbers like I am.

1494
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 2: So I apologize to you Patrick to put you all

1495
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 2: through this, but again, I mean, I lose every competition

1496
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:39,599
Speaker 2: when it comes to picks every year. It doesn't matter

1497
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:42,719
Speaker 2: who I go against. So I did pick up one point.

1498
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 2: So we're on like a Stableford system around points rather

1499
01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 2: than wins and losses. So I am now six points down.

1500
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm still alive, barely. So we are going

1501
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:56,679
Speaker 2: to pick all three games remaining here in the divisional rounds.

1502
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 2: So Patrick, let's get this thing started.

1503
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, well we got three.

1504
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:01,680
Speaker 1: Ye're right.

1505
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 10: It is now thirty seven Monsey thirty one, Steve six

1506
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:06,200
Speaker 10: point difference.

1507
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 1: And you know what my number counting.

1508
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 3: It adds the chaos element.

1509
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 1: It's all for fun, you know. Well, Monsey doesn't want

1510
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 1: to lose this, so she's keeping tracks winning. So she's writing.

1511
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 1: Believe me, she's writing every writing it down.

1512
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:22,640
Speaker 10: All right, we're gonna go with our first game, and

1513
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 10: it's actually one that is later on.

1514
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:24,840
Speaker 1: Today.

1515
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:28,560
Speaker 10: We have the Washington Commanders on the road taking on

1516
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 10: the Detroit lines. Detroit is eight and a half point

1517
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 10: favorites at home and the over under for this guys

1518
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 10: is wow fifty five and a half.

1519
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 1: That's a big number of Indeed, wow, is that a

1520
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:40,639
Speaker 1: big number?

1521
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 7: Monsey.

1522
01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:43,720
Speaker 3: You're the fearless leader in the club house today.

1523
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:45,599
Speaker 1: You get to go first.

1524
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1525
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:49,639
Speaker 4: That over under is the highest in a playoff game

1526
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 4: since the Super Bowl between the Buccaneers and the Chiefs

1527
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 4: in twenty Yeah.

1528
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 3: Like that's crazy, that's crazy.

1529
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 1: I put it this way, thirty one twenty four is under.

1530
01:09:57,760 --> 01:09:59,839
Speaker 3: Thirty one twenty four is under.

1531
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,320
Speaker 1: Because that'll be fifty five.

1532
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 3: And part of me wants to say over I might.

1533
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:07,880
Speaker 4: Okay, so we've been talking about this, how the commander

1534
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,080
Speaker 4: is just all of a sudden, people seem to want

1535
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 4: to be riding the wave. They're very excited. They think

1536
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:15,240
Speaker 4: that they can actually knock off the Lions.

1537
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 2: I do not.

1538
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 3: The spread is what eight and a half.

1539
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:21,760
Speaker 8: Half night.

1540
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 3: I actually am taking the Lions.

1541
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:27,640
Speaker 2: I am.

1542
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:29,880
Speaker 3: I think the Lions are gonna win, and they're gonna

1543
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 3: win by more than that.

1544
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:33,280
Speaker 1: Okay, so they're gonna cover the cover.

1545
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm taking the Lions to.

1546
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 1: Cover the hover. Are you looking at that?

1547
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:42,680
Speaker 3: I am, but I I I want part of me

1548
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:46,679
Speaker 3: honestly wants to say, you know what, let's take the over.

1549
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:50,719
Speaker 2: Oh she's going over over. Okay, well, so you're gonna

1550
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:51,639
Speaker 2: go Lions in the over.

1551
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 3: Lions and the over.

1552
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 1: That's on the record.

1553
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:55,600
Speaker 3: I'm putting it down, yet putting.

1554
01:10:55,320 --> 01:11:00,120
Speaker 2: It down Commanders and the under. I really like the

1555
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:03,720
Speaker 2: under in this game. I'm not wild about the commanders,

1556
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:05,920
Speaker 2: but you've been talking up a good game. There's a

1557
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:07,800
Speaker 2: lot of people out there that have been talking up

1558
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 2: the commanders. I am certainly not in a position where

1559
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:17,200
Speaker 2: I got to look at possible openings here, and I

1560
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:19,719
Speaker 2: do like the under in this game. I'm not wild

1561
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:21,920
Speaker 2: about the commanders, but I'm going to go for it.

1562
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:25,760
Speaker 2: So I'll take the Commanders to stay within a touchdown

1563
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:29,000
Speaker 2: at least under eight and a half, and I do

1564
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:31,240
Speaker 2: believe that. I think the commander is going to have

1565
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:34,760
Speaker 2: problems scoring in this game. The Lions is the big question.

1566
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 2: Just how many points are the Lions going to put up?

1567
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 4: Exactly like the Lions could put up forty on by themselves, easy, easily.

1568
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:43,599
Speaker 1: So I'm going to roll the dice.

1569
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:46,040
Speaker 2: I'm not one hundred percent confident in this one, but

1570
01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:48,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna roll the dice and I'll take the Commanders

1571
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 2: and the under.

1572
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 1: Any bold predictions here, I think I have one.

1573
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:53,400
Speaker 3: I think I have one.

1574
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 1: Okay, talk to me.

1575
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 3: I think Jaden Daniels. I expect a lot of blitzing.

1576
01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:00,360
Speaker 4: So I think Jayden Daniels is going to rush for

1577
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:02,680
Speaker 4: over one hundred yards if you don't want take it.

1578
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 3: But he's only done that one time this season.

1579
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 1: Oh, I'll take that.

1580
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:08,360
Speaker 3: That's a that's a bold that the Jayden Daniels over

1581
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 3: one hundred rolls.

1582
01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:11,759
Speaker 1: That for a bold. How about this, I'll have a bold.

1583
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:16,719
Speaker 2: Jared Goff will throw more interceptions than touchdown passes. Wow, wow,

1584
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:21,920
Speaker 2: more I t more ion tees than touchdown passes. If

1585
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 2: it's even that, that's a push. A push doesn't count.

1586
01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 2: He has to have more iron t's than touchdown passes

1587
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:28,639
Speaker 2: in the skit.

1588
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:31,519
Speaker 1: No, that's that's that's specific enough. I like it all right,

1589
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:32,960
Speaker 1: So we got that game in the books.

1590
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:34,800
Speaker 2: On the other side, we'll get to the two games

1591
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:38,439
Speaker 2: tomorrow between the Rams, Eagles Ravens Bills. Part of our

1592
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:43,240
Speaker 2: game Day Geniuses right here on Fox Football Saturday, Steve

1593
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:47,960
Speaker 2: Harbin and Montci Belgios here Fox Football Saturday Live from

1594
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:49,640
Speaker 2: the Tirack dot Com studios.

1595
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:53,880
Speaker 1: I want to thank our crew today, Martin doing literally everything.

1596
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:56,280
Speaker 3: Triple duty, triple duty, triple duty.

1597
01:12:56,560 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 1: Brilliant, is always very excited about that lake cover.

1598
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 2: And I don't know, again, why would you take an

1599
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:07,439
Speaker 2: intentional safety with an eleven point lead and I don't know, twenty.

1600
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:09,720
Speaker 3: Seconds left, I mean would question mark for sure?

1601
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:14,760
Speaker 2: And then of course Mary Mack, who is on top

1602
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:18,240
Speaker 2: of her game today, she's enjoying life at age twenty one,

1603
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:21,320
Speaker 2: which is something we all remember at least.

1604
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:21,719
Speaker 3: Sort of times.

1605
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 2: And then there's Patrick Patrick, Patrick Patrick doing a brilliant

1606
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:30,479
Speaker 2: job just holding it down right. Now, are you excited

1607
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:33,520
Speaker 2: about wearing your Dodger gear there? About Rokie Sasaki?

1608
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:34,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I am.

1609
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:40,960
Speaker 2: I mean you have Yamamoto Sasaki oh Tani. That's three

1610
01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:45,599
Speaker 2: fifths of your rotation. And then you add Blake Snell

1611
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 2: and then hope that Tyler Glass now is healthy.

1612
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:49,919
Speaker 1: Long live the Empire.

1613
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:51,880
Speaker 3: Yes again, dynasties.

1614
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:57,080
Speaker 2: That's a major upgrade from you know, Flaherty and Walker Buehller.

1615
01:13:57,360 --> 01:13:59,200
Speaker 3: Hey, all of those players came in.

1616
01:13:59,280 --> 01:13:59,680
Speaker 1: Well that's it.

1617
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,519
Speaker 2: And Almamoto is the only guy that actually started in

1618
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 2: the postseason. So four new starters gonna be interesting, all right.

1619
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 2: So we got one game in the books. We got

1620
01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:10,360
Speaker 2: two to go here, Patrick.

1621
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:12,479
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, well you're talking about the LA Dodgers. Well,

1622
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:16,479
Speaker 10: we're gonna transition from baseball back to NFL. We have

1623
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 10: the Los Angeles Rams taking on the Philadelphia Eagles. Eagles

1624
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:22,680
Speaker 10: are in fact home for this they're six and a

1625
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:26,080
Speaker 10: half point favorites at home, and the over under is

1626
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:27,880
Speaker 10: forty two and a half.

1627
01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not fifty five and a half. That's certainly

1628
01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:36,080
Speaker 2: not I will go first. I take on this one's usty. Okay, Well,

1629
01:14:36,240 --> 01:14:37,800
Speaker 2: look at the weather's gonna be cold.

1630
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:38,400
Speaker 1: We talked to.

1631
01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:42,599
Speaker 2: Yah Man Adam Kaplan a little bit, a little bit earlier.

1632
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 2: It's gonna be snowing. Could be snowing the entire game.

1633
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:47,880
Speaker 1: So look at it.

1634
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:50,280
Speaker 2: I took the dog and I took the under in

1635
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:53,679
Speaker 2: the first game, and I'm gonna repeat that in this game.

1636
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 2: I think the Rams are gonna stay close in this game.

1637
01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:58,600
Speaker 2: I don't know why the Eagles are six and a

1638
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 2: half point favorites. This is a field goal game, and

1639
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:05,599
Speaker 2: I think that it's going to be tough sledding literally

1640
01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:08,840
Speaker 2: in terms of getting points on the board.

1641
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 1: So I will take the Rams and I will take

1642
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:15,120
Speaker 1: the under the Rams.

1643
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:20,479
Speaker 3: I'm writing this down as well before.

1644
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:26,560
Speaker 4: I you know, man, you know, so yesterday when I

1645
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:29,320
Speaker 4: did this, I also took the Rams to cover on

1646
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:34,680
Speaker 4: a different show, but I wasn't necessarily comfortable with that,

1647
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 4: and like I thought that, I want to change my mind.

1648
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:39,320
Speaker 4: It's just that I'm competing against you. So here I'm

1649
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 4: trying to, you know, play the strategy that I do think.

1650
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:46,600
Speaker 4: I see a scenario where Matthew Stafford, who does not

1651
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 4: necessarily play well in cold places and in cold games,

1652
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:51,360
Speaker 4: his record is not that great.

1653
01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:51,840
Speaker 3: I can see a.

1654
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:56,280
Speaker 4: Scenario where the Eagles pull away and win by at

1655
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:59,840
Speaker 4: least a touchdown. But yesterday and another show, I don't

1656
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,240
Speaker 4: I'll take the rounds covering the spread. But since I'm

1657
01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 4: competing against you and you took that, I am going

1658
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:09,960
Speaker 4: to take the Eagles to cover the spread. And you

1659
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 4: said you took the overs under.

1660
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 2: The under under forty and a half half. Oh yeah, under.

1661
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:22,400
Speaker 2: It's like a seventeen fourteen.

1662
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:24,760
Speaker 3: Game could be strategic to take unders to.

1663
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 1: No, No, that would make it.

1664
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:28,519
Speaker 3: That doesn't make any sense.

1665
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:31,960
Speaker 1: No, either she doesn't take the over under or she yeah.

1666
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:33,840
Speaker 3: No, I'm not I'm not doing that. No, I won't

1667
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:35,000
Speaker 3: touch it. And I'm not going over.

1668
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:39,160
Speaker 1: I'll h h prop bets on this one. Bold any bold,

1669
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:40,320
Speaker 1: be bolder?

1670
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:50,320
Speaker 2: Ummmmm, it's I have something in mind, but that's not

1671
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:52,519
Speaker 2: all that bold, so I'm not even gonna say it.

1672
01:16:52,840 --> 01:17:05,000
Speaker 1: Fair, h Okay, I have a bold, yes, sir Kyraen Williams.

1673
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:10,840
Speaker 2: Yes, We'll have at least twenty more yards rushing than

1674
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley in this game.

1675
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:16,880
Speaker 1: Wow, I'm not just saying more yards at.

1676
01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 2: Least twenty more yards rushing rushing then Saquon Barkley.

1677
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:23,640
Speaker 3: Is that a bold prediction because we're not giving me

1678
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:24,599
Speaker 3: a number, so whatever?

1679
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:27,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, obviously he's a good running back, so right,

1680
01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:31,760
Speaker 2: but at least twenty more yards rushing than Saquon, I'll

1681
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:32,040
Speaker 2: take that.

1682
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:35,120
Speaker 10: I will take that, okay, all right, Well, with that said,

1683
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 10: that is now the last one we have, or we

1684
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 10: have one more left.

1685
01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 3: We have the end all be all.

1686
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 10: We have the Ravens on the road taking on the bills.

1687
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 10: Ravens on the Road are actually one point favorite, just one,

1688
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:49,280
Speaker 10: and the over under is fifty one in a half.

1689
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:49,680
Speaker 1: It's a bit.

1690
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:53,240
Speaker 3: It's a big one, one, Manzi, you get to go first,

1691
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:55,840
Speaker 3: all right? This really is a coin flip. This one

1692
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:56,880
Speaker 3: is is tough.

1693
01:17:57,080 --> 01:17:59,400
Speaker 4: We know it's going to be a cold game, and

1694
01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:01,680
Speaker 4: I expect a lot of running and yeah, they the

1695
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:04,920
Speaker 4: Ravens have the better one two punch with Lamar and

1696
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:08,960
Speaker 4: Derrick Henry, but we're acting like Josh Allen and James

1697
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:11,600
Speaker 4: Cook can't also be a good one to punch in

1698
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:12,559
Speaker 4: this situation.

1699
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:15,880
Speaker 3: No, Zay Flowers, I think is going to be a

1700
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 3: big hit.

1701
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 4: And so I'm actually I will take the Bills at

1702
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:23,240
Speaker 4: home covering the spread.

1703
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:27,880
Speaker 1: Well, the Bills are undefeated at home, Yes they are.

1704
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:33,120
Speaker 2: Uh wow, I sort of like the Bills here. The

1705
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 2: question is do I take the Ravens strategy I know

1706
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:41,799
Speaker 2: well and and say I've been going with the dogs

1707
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 2: and they are actually favored in this game.

1708
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:45,960
Speaker 3: Yeah they are. And it keeps moving up a little

1709
01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 3: up and down right now, and the.

1710
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:51,519
Speaker 1: Weather is just going to be brutally cold fifty and

1711
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 1: have seems yeah, I mean twenty seven to twenty four

1712
01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:56,080
Speaker 1: is an under.

1713
01:18:56,560 --> 01:19:00,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, in those weather conditions because there because the US

1714
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 3: can play in that weather.

1715
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 4: So I think they're expecting the Bills to score, and

1716
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:04,599
Speaker 4: then the Ravens are just going to score as well.

1717
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:05,200
Speaker 3: Keep up.

1718
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:09,559
Speaker 2: I'm taking the Ravens and I'm taking the over over

1719
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:12,640
Speaker 2: over and a half.

1720
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:17,240
Speaker 1: Against conventional wisdom. So after taking the underdogs and the

1721
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 1: under in the first two games, I'm going with.

1722
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:23,639
Speaker 2: A favorite and the over over in this game Ravens

1723
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:25,879
Speaker 2: over Bolder Boulders.

1724
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:28,559
Speaker 1: Wait, she might want it to go wonder.

1725
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 3: No, I'm not going under on this one.

1726
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:30,479
Speaker 10: No, no, no.

1727
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 3: The weather is a big question mark here.

1728
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:34,840
Speaker 1: So I don't know old predictions.

1729
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:36,920
Speaker 3: I don't think I have a bold. No, I just

1730
01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:38,240
Speaker 3: I don't know how this game is going to go.

1731
01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 3: It's a coin flip. No, you got a bold, get

1732
01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 3: it out.

1733
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:45,160
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of it.

1734
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:51,479
Speaker 2: How about the fact that Lamar Jackson, y'all will have

1735
01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:54,839
Speaker 2: at least fifty more yards rushing than Derrick Henry.

1736
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:57,439
Speaker 3: That is so funny because that's what I was thinking.

1737
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 2: Really, I was thinking that Lamar was Lamar Jackson have

1738
01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:03,599
Speaker 2: at least fifty more yards rushing than his teammate Derick Henry.

1739
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:06,000
Speaker 1: This is Fox Football Saturday.

1740
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 3: I swear
