WEBVTT - Best Of: Nick Wright's CHIEFS ROLLERCOASTER season week-by-week reaction | NFL 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.480 Welcome to the best of the week for What's Right 0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:05.200 with Nick Right the best takes and moments from this 0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:12.320 week on the show. Enjoy Now to the easiest bet 0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:17.280 every single year, the Chiefs hitting there over under Andy Reid. 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:20.640 It has failed to happen one time, and they made 0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:24.840 up for it that year by winning the Super Bowl. 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:29.960 The Chiefs win total getting even money over eleven and 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:33.680 a half wins. That's an easy one. I will take 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:37.200 over eleven and a half every day with Kansas City. 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:42.519 Twelve and five would disappoint me. I expect thirteen and 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:46.160 four or better. They are not going eleven and six 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:49.080 the Chiefs. We don't need to spend more time on it. 0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:51.920 Everyone knew I was going Chiefs over because it is 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:55.840 the right bet. I am going over with the Kansas 0:00:55.880 --> 0:01:04.000 City Chiefs. Our annual tradition EXACTA. Three years ago we 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:08.000 had Chiefs Niners, and the Niners found themselves in the 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:15.319 Conference championship game. Last two years ago we had Chiefs Cowboys, 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:19.639 and the Cowboys found themselves with twelve wins. Last year 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:23.160 we had Chiefs Bears, and the Bears had a season 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:27.360 from hell and missed the playoffs. This year, the Super 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:32.600 Bowl EXACTA at fifty five to one is a drummer. 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:33.600 We please, Demonse. 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:37.119 We got Kansas City versus Tampa Bay and the Super 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.320 Bowl exact plus fifty five hundred. 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:45.600 How about the and then obviously spoiler Super Bowl exactly 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:46.600 the winner. 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:50.560 Right, Kansas City defeat Tampa Bay at plus eleven thousand. 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:56.559 Indeed, so, Demonse, here's something I didn't even think about 0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:01.920 when I made this pick. Brew mentioned it. The Chiefs 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:06.640 with Mahomes have been to five Super Bowls, all rematches, 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:12.919 played Philly twice, played San Francisco twice. The one other 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:18.000 team they played Tampa Bay, another Super Bowl rematch bake 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:27.760 Show against Patrick revisiting the greatest, the craziest college football 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:29.880 game ever played. Do you know about their college. 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:35.680 Game, Demonsemes and Baker against each other? Yeah, I'm sure 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:36.960 they each other up. 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:41.240 Hold on, well let me, Demonse, so let me just 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:45.440 tell you real quick, twenty sixteen, because they have played 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:48.919 in the playoffs before. All right, so the final score, Demanse, 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.560 let me, I'm just actually hold on. Let me just 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:56.120 go to Patrick Mahomes college stats. Final score was sixty 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.840 six to fifty nine. So that gives you a little 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:04.600 bit of a preview. It was Texas Tech where Baker 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:11.000 started against Oklahoma, and hold on, where is it here? 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:16.160 It is? The final stats are as follows. Uh. Joe 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.120 Mixon was in the game. He ran for two sixty 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:23.640 okay and four touchdowns. But that wasn't the story. The 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:28.919 story was Baker. Baker was twenty seven of thirty six 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:33.200 only through thirty six passes for five hundred and forty 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:40.520 five yards, seven touchdowns, no picks. Jesus okay, okay. Patrick 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:45.640 Patrick was fifty two of eighty eight. 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:47.640 Oh was slee. 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:54.160 For seven hundred and thirty four yards five touchdowns. Running 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:58.560 back well, no, they did have a running back go 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.440 twelve carries for eighty five five yards and two touchdowns. 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:06.040 That running backs name was Patrick Mahomes. So Mahomes in 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:13.440 that game combined for eight hundred and ten yards, seven touchdowns, 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:18.839 one pick. Bake show in that game never ran the 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:22.840 ball through for five forty five and seven touchdowns on 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.840 just thirty six attempts. Mahomes threw at eighty eight times. 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:30.880 It is an all time legendary college football game. 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.360 Oh yeah, yeah. 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:41.880 October twenty second, twenty sixteen, all timer. And so they've 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:45.560 played in the playoffs before Patrick got hurt against the 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:49.760 when Baker was there in the Browns, and yeah, that's 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:57.720 my uh, that is most Super Bowl EXACTA. I Am 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:04.040 not going to sit here and act like everything's fine 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:08.520 with the Chiefs right now. It isn't. There are some 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:15.880 I want to focus on the concerning things that have 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:21.040 occurred in both games. Okay, So for instance, Week one, 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.800 the secondary, which has been a strength of this team, 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:31.039 looked hugely problematic against Herbert and the Chargers. Week two, 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.000 I thought the secondary looked really good, right, So like 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.000 that's the one good game, one bad game. I'm not 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:43.239 focusing on that. Here is what through two weeks looks problematic, 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:47.360 and I don't know where the solve for it is. 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:54.320 The Chiefs running game is as inept right now as 0:05:54.360 --> 0:06:00.080 it's ever been since Patrick's been there. Pachecko sadly, he 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.840 just does not look like the same player he was 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:08.120 before he broke his leg. And what's odd about it 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:12.120 is his biggest problem through two weeks doesn't seem to 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:16.400 be explosion. It seems to be vision and hitting the 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:21.240 right hole. You wouldn't think that is related to a 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:25.840 lower body injury, but he just hasn't been effective. Kareem 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:29.479 Hunt is who he is. He if you need one 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:33.000 yard more way more often than not, he will get 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.760 it for you. But he has no chance of getting 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:40.800 you ten. And they brought in Elijah Mitchell. Nothing's happened there. 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:44.000 They drafted Brischard Smith in the I think seventh round. 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:48.160 He's seventh round rookie. Like they just right now don't 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:52.360 have the horses in the running back room, and that 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:58.440 is a spot that I would not at all hate 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:03.240 for him to be active on. In the trade market, 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.520 I think we have There has been a lot of 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.560 discussion of should the Chiefs trade for Tyreek Hill? The 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:15.920 wide receivers are coming back, Okay, I if I were 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:20.400 doing a trade with Miami, I might be equally, if 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:24.400 not more, interested in Devin h Chan Like I think 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:29.920 that there are you running backs will be and should 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:33.040 be available, and that might be a spot that they 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:36.520 have to bite the bullet and spend some draft capital 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:42.200 via trade on. So that's one piece, and here's another one. 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.880 As good as Josh Simmons has been at the left 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:52.320 tackle spot, Patrick still doesn't feel totally comfortable in his protection. Now, 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:56.960 some of that's been the left guard spot's been really problematic. 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:02.840 But Creed's great, Trade's great, Simmons is really good, Joan 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:07.120 Taylor when he's not committing penalties is fine. And Patrick 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:11.200 just seems like he doesn't trust it right now. And 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:16.440 I am as confident in Patrick Mahomes as any player 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.320 that's ever played in the league that he will figure 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.920 stuff out. And there have been times this season where 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.760 it has felt like he's out there. I don't want 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:29.680 to say by himself, but nobody can get opening. They 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.760 can't run the ball, which has forced him to and 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:34.800 this is the part of the season that I have 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:40.000 liked the absolute least. It has forced him to activate 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:44.520 playoff running Mahomes in weeks one and two, and I 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:53.920 despise that because obviously it puts him in jeopardy, which 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:56.840 is the biggest concern. But the other thing is one 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:01.000 of the reasons he has had the post season's success 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:04.080 that he's had. One of the reasons he has been 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:10.960 so much more dynamic and effective statistically and from a 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.400 winning perspective on a per game basis than any other 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.080 quarterback in the history of the league come the postseason 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:23.760 is because every single postseason he adds a huge weapon 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.560 to his game that is not there in the regular season, 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:30.720 which is the quarterback runs the scrambles, and if he's 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:36.600 using that during the regular season, it has just multiple concerns. 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.640 One is he can get banged up. Another is you're 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:45.280 not getting that auto postseason boost. Like Josh Allen and 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:49.680 Lamar are unbelievable runners at the quarterback position, they do 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.520 it starting in Week one and never stop. So it 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.720 doesn't add an element to their game come the playoffs. 0:09:56.760 --> 0:10:01.080 It has for Patrick and the last listen issue on 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:04.520 offense is the greatest tight end in the history of 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:08.520 the league has had a really rough two weeks. There's 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:12.320 no way around it. Third play of the season. I 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.199 thought it was Xavier's mistake. He says. It was his 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.120 mistake that he ran the wrong depth of his route 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:22.680 and Xavier's hurt. Later in that game, he and Patrick 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.559 aren't on quite the same page. When they're down nine, 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.440 about to score, they don't connect on what would have 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:34.360 been a touchdown. And then obviously the Eagles game, they're 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:39.400 about to take the lead and he bobbles a pass 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:43.360 and it turns into a game changing interception. That's all. 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.680 It's been highly damaging. I don't know if it's yet 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:54.920 highly concerning, but it's highly damaging. Okay, So there is 0:10:55.440 --> 0:11:00.240 that piece of it on the defensive side of the ball. 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:06.840 The only complaint I have after week two is they 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:11.320 cannot seem to get pressure without sending a blitz, like 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:15.560 if they rush for they just cannot get home. So 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:19.040 I don't know if that means the rookies Ashton Jalot 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:23.239 or Omar Norman lot need to be more effective. Certainly 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.800 Charles Amena who needs to be more effective. Mike Dana 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:30.040 got hurt in this game. That didn't help. George Karloft 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.920 has just got paid by this team, he needs to 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:37.080 be more effective. Like Chris Jones is a man on 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:43.400 an island at times. And so those are real problems, okay, 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:49.720 And right now the Chiefs don't deserve to be anything 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:53.400 close to Super Bowl favorites. I'm not gonna sit here 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.080 and act like, ah, they got unlucky, they got this. No. 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:04.200 If anything, it is surprising that they have had a 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:09.560 chance to win both of these games when they haven't 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:13.920 played well. They've missed kicks in both games. They haven't 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:18.800 forced a turnover. So that is the true and fair, 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:22.880 sober analysis of where the Chiefs are through two weeks. 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:32.880 Anything past that is nonsense. Anyone trying to pedal Wow, 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:38.240 should they be worried about making the playoffs? I think 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:44.880 has lost their mind. Now is the division for the 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:52.240 first time in Jeopardy? Yeah, when you're zero to two 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:55.959 and a team that beat you is two to zero 0:12:56.000 --> 0:13:03.840 with a divisional win, it's understandable that the Chiefs are 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:08.160 no longer the favorites in the division. Demanse and where 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.360 where does hard Rock Bet have them at? Right now? 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:13.319 They've got them at plus two forty to win the division? 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:15.160 Should you hammer that? 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:20.520 I mean, listen, as it's not surprising to you. Probably 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.960 I have a lot of exposure already on the Chiefs, 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:28.600 you know, futures and season and win total. But I 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:35.000 think plus two point forty is good value right now 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.240 when I do right now, if I had to pick it, 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:40.200 I would still pick the Chiefs to win the division. 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.200 What I do think though, and I told this story 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.000 on the TV show. I'm going to tell it again 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:51.840 here because having an encyclopedic memory about the Patrick mahomes 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:55.640 Erra for the Kansaity Chiefs can pay dividends and so 0:13:55.760 --> 0:14:00.199 let me tell you guys. A quick story. In twenty twenty, 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.560 the Chiefs with the defending champions, went back to the 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:08.680 Super Bowl and got blasted by Tampa Bay. The next year, 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:12.120 not only did they start out three and four, but 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:16.280 Mahomes had the first real slump of his career. Is 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:22.040 with Kelsey this Tyreek. They get blown out by Buffalo, 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.840 they get blown out by Tennessee. They then play the 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:30.680 Giants and need a field goal with a minute left 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:35.440 to be a foreign and eventually four win. Joe Judge 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:40.400 Giants team to get to three and four. The very 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:45.320 next week, they play the Packers in the game Aaron 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:49.040 Rodgers can't play in because of That's how we found 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:52.680 out he didn't have the COVID vaccine because he was 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:55.920 on the COVID list. And Jordan Love, in his first 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.720 career start, comes to town and it's one of the 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:04.000 ugliest games ever. And with two minutes left it is 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:10.320 thirteen to seven Kansas City and Mahomes has played terribly okay, 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:17.040 And it is third and ten and a first down 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.240 wins the game, and they don't get a first down 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.520 and they could lose outright and fall to three and five, 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:28.360 and Patrick play breaks down. Patrick scrambles to his right 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:33.160 off one leg, zips in a laser down the sideline 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:36.400 to ice the game. And I went on TV the 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:41.240 next day and said, I believe that's the moment Patrick 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:44.280 snapped out of his funk. I believe that is the 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:48.760 moment that the Chiefs will be the Chiefs again. And 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:52.880 the rest of the season they lost one time and 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.560 made it to the AFC Championship Game, where they did 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.560 lose to the Cincinnati Bengals, But the rest of it, 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.400 from that moment forward, there were good. What does any 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:07.680 team in football this year? They get blown out in 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:12.880 the Super Bowl, they look terrible through two weeks. They 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:17.200 are playing the New York Giants. It is a tie game. 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:22.600 Approaching halftime, Patrick attempts to swing past Isaiah Pacheco, who 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:26.960 runs in the wrong direction. The ball is live, it 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.920 is about to be Giants thirteen to six, and the 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:37.640 Chiefs are going to be in dire straits and Patrick 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:43.200 Mahomes runs down the Giants player who's about to scoop 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:47.480 and score, takes the ball back from him, steadies the team, 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:52.040 And from that moment forward in that game was Patrick 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:57.960 Mahomes again, I do think we are going to look 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:05.200 back on that moment as the moment the Chiefs studied themselves. 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:13.160 Where I am, though, Demons is fully relaxed and comfortable 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:17.439 and relieved about the Chiefs. Let's get right to the 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:18.400 game of the weekend. 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:21.720 Yeah, so we all saw what happened on Sunday. Your 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:25.680 Chiefs crushed my Ravens. We were obviously riddled with injuries. 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.679 Our quarterback went down very early into the third quarter. 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:31.000 But she said, after starting in. 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.320 Ten, it is not hold on. Your quarterback did not 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:37.920 go down early in the third the end of the 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.960 third quarter when when he tapped out when they were 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:42.000 down seventeen. 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:44.840 But go ahead, all right, you said, your Chiefs had 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.280 the chance to rewrite history after starting oh and two 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:50.680 after this game, do you think they did so well? 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.919 Listen, they studied themselves and the on and to start, 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:57.679 what they had to do was beat the Giants. That 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.800 was an ugly game that obviously turned on the tackle 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:08.760 that turned the tide. And then they had to go 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:12.800 take care of business against the Ravens. And take care 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:19.760 of business they did, and not shockingly the moment the 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:25.800 Chiefs had close to a competent receiving corps. The offense 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:30.320 looked good again the last And we don't have to 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.720 do this full history in depth, but it is worth 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:40.160 mentioning that the Chiefs traded away Tyreek Hill Mahomes snap 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:44.119 in an offseason changed the way he played based on 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:48.520 the receivers they had one league MVP. The very next year, 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:53.520 dealt with more drops than any quarterback literally in modern 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:57.639 NFL history, figured it out by the playoffs, won the 0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:03.000 Super Bowl. The next year, dealt with the most injured 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:08.119 wide receiver and running back room in the NFL, got 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.600 all the way to the super Bowl. And the next year, 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:14.200 which was this year, walked into the season with his 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:18.320 number one receiver suspended for six games and his number 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:22.239 two receiver knocked out of Game one three plays in. 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:27.399 And it looked shaky for a bit. And I told 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:32.480 you guys that I knew real like I guess insight 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:37.960 that that Chargers Week one game plan Xavier Worthy was 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:41.080 the ePIE center of it, and him being knocked out 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:46.240 three plays in threw everything off. But this, the fatalism 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:52.040 surrounding the Chiefs from almost everyone else in the media 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:55.119 was And I don't want to be a scold and 0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:57.680 I don't want to be more annoying than I naturally am. 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:05.920 But it was embarrassing, and it was so fickle and 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:13.919 so myopic, my opic, pardon me, as if they don't 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:19.159 have a Hall of Fame head coach, a Hall of 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:24.120 Fame caliber decoordinator, and the most talented quarterback to ever live, 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:27.440 that they couldn't figure it out. And it was as 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:33.119 if they were getting boat raced in these early games, 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:36.479 or as if they were playing terrible teams and losing. 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:39.840 Neither were true. Now, I want to make this clear. 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:44.439 I don't think the Chiefs are, you know, quote fully back. 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:48.119 If back means being the highest scoring team in the league, 0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:51.080 I don't think that's who they're going to be. I 0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:54.280 don't think the Chiefs have solved all their issues. I 0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:57.800 still think the running back room leaves a lot to 0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:01.159 be desired, and their ability to get pressure on the 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:05.639 opposing quarterback without sending a blitz at the moment leaves 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:11.119 a lot to be desired. But you look, if you 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:16.680 going into the Baltimore game, if you looked around the AFC, 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:25.080 the only team that really you could say had no 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:29.760 holes to poke at it was the Chargers going into 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:34.919 Week four, But they already were dealing with some potentially 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:39.600 mounting injuries that sadly, they dealt with more of during 0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:42.200 Week four in a game they had no business losing 0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:45.760 but lost, and so the Bills were undefeated. But the 0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:49.679 Bills defense had looked shaky, and they they had and 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:54.919 have played three consecutive games against just bottom feeders. The 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:59.040 Ravens were given this huge benefit of the doubt despite 0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:01.920 having the same record as the Chiefs, and then every 0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:04.879 other team that had a good record, like the Steelers 0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:08.439 or the Jags, you had real reason to be concerned about. 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:11.879 I didn't really sleep last night and then got up 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:15.640 this morning, took your sister to school, picked your mom 0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:18.080 up from the gym. I don't know if I said 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:21.239 ten words to either one of them. I then just 0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:25.280 laid on the couch, which I never do in the mornings, 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:28.560 and tried to like take a nap. That didn't work. 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:32.720 You know how I can tell your mom knows I'm 0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:39.399 in a teetering emotional place. I could probably, well, here's 0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:43.320 here's how I know that she knows and that she's empathetic, 0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:49.439 because there were she's doing like a whole giant house 0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:54.560 cleaning thing. Prior to I knew it her birthday. Well, no, 0:22:54.680 --> 0:23:01.720 hold on there. Within the ninety second when I came downstairs, 0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:06.399 there were three things I saw her do that she 0:23:06.600 --> 0:23:11.800 had asked me to do previously, and she wasn't even 0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:14.320 mad at me. Yep, I was like, oh, she legit 0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:18.600 feels bad for me right now. She's like, she is 0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:21.440 really showing a real amount of empathy because I was 0:23:21.440 --> 0:23:24.040 supposed to put those coffee cups away. I was supposed 0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:27.880 to throw that backpack away. And she's doing all of it, 0:23:28.040 --> 0:23:29.960 and she's doing with a smile on her face, which 0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:34.240 means she has correctly clocked that I'm not doing great. 0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:38.840 Hopefully this will be my Catharsis. Let's get to Monday 0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:39.520 night football. 0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:43.760 Shout out to Madre. So we saw what Trevor Lawrence 0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:46.680 did to the Chiefs yesterday. It was also his twenty 0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:49.399 sixth birthday, and he walked out of there with a dub. 0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:52.400 What do you want to talk about first, your prince's 0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:55.240 success or your chief's downfall in this game? 0:23:56.240 --> 0:23:59.040 Okay, as much as I'd like to start with Trevor, 0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:01.919 we have to start with the chief. And here's the 0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:10.840 reason that game is so so much more upsetting than 0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:16.840 the Charger game or the Eagle game, and so much 0:24:16.880 --> 0:24:25.040 more upsetting than any recent memory regular season loss. One 0:24:25.200 --> 0:24:31.920 thing about the Chiefs being the Chiefs is they simply 0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:37.840 do not lose games like that. Now they get out played. 0:24:37.880 --> 0:24:41.159 Sometimes the offense we've seen over the last couple of 0:24:41.200 --> 0:24:45.120 years get stuck in the mud. They you know, there 0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:49.280 are ways that they can lose a game, and other 0:24:49.480 --> 0:24:54.960 people panic or you know, talk about in what bad 0:24:55.000 --> 0:24:59.160 shape the team is in, and I do not because 0:24:59.200 --> 0:25:02.760 of the the full confidence that by the end of 0:25:02.760 --> 0:25:05.320 the year Patrick will have figured stuff out, or the 0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:09.000 team will get healthier or whatever it is. Losing a 0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:15.280 game like that last night, they don't blow two touchdown leads. 0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:19.280 Every other team in the league mate, they don't. They 0:25:19.280 --> 0:25:24.040 did last night. While the Chiefs don't blow teams out 0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:27.760 the way the other excellent teams in football do over 0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:32.480 the last few years, they just simply never beat themselves, 0:25:32.880 --> 0:25:36.879 and yesterday they beat themselves. Yesterday is the first game 0:25:37.600 --> 0:25:42.560 in four years the Chiefs have won the turnover battle 0:25:42.640 --> 0:25:47.440 and lost the game. There have only been three games 0:25:47.560 --> 0:25:51.439 in the last four years where they have won or 0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:54.920 tied the turnover battle and lost the game. Week one 0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:58.200 against Detroit couple of years ago, the pick six Week 0:25:58.240 --> 0:26:01.000 one against the Chargers. This year team turned it over, 0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:08.359 and then this week with a pick six, and so 0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:17.399 all of that just it. It's just a horrible loss. 0:26:17.920 --> 0:26:21.240 All is right in the world again, Ye're pretty happy 0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:26.400 this he's and it's just everything's back the way it's 0:26:26.400 --> 0:26:30.200 supposed to be.

And one, 0:26:44.720 --> 0:26:52.399 and what is so gratifying about this is we don't 0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:57.920 I thought the way this was going to go was 0:26:58.119 --> 0:27:05.840 all the folks that wrote the Chiefs obituary three weeks ago, 0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:13.399 we're going to have to answer for that commentary in 0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:21.520 January instead, because of how even with the loss nine 0:27:21.600 --> 0:27:25.440 days ago by the Chiefs, because of how the rest 0:27:25.520 --> 0:27:29.119 of the league has looked and how Kansas City looked 0:27:29.560 --> 0:27:35.240 on national TV Sunday night, all those folks have to 0:27:35.359 --> 0:27:40.840 eat it immediately. We're not to Halloween yet, and they 0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:43.680 all have to be like, all right, I'm dumb, you're right, 0:27:43.800 --> 0:27:49.440 I'm wrong. It's so good it's so much fun. And 0:27:49.880 --> 0:27:53.520 the fact that they're winning this way with the offense 0:27:53.640 --> 0:27:58.280 humming back to you're shocked when they don't get a 0:27:58.359 --> 0:28:04.240 touchdown doing Patrick things and they don't have their best 0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:08.600 offensive weapon not named Patrick Mahomes yet And then you 0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:12.040 just you watch the rest of the league and and 0:28:12.119 --> 0:28:14.600 we'll get to these games. But you watch the Broncos 0:28:14.680 --> 0:28:17.440 do everything they can to try to lose to one 0:28:17.440 --> 0:28:19.920 of the worst teams I've ever seen in the Jets. 0:28:20.560 --> 0:28:26.080 You watch the Chargers do everything they can. Great play 0:28:26.119 --> 0:28:28.639 at the end by the Chargers, but the Chargers struggle 0:28:29.520 --> 0:28:32.880 with a Dolphins team that seems to actively hate each other. 0:28:33.400 --> 0:28:36.920 You watch the Bills what they did last night, the 0:28:37.040 --> 0:28:40.080 Eagles that are ripping themselves a part of the seams, 0:28:40.280 --> 0:28:45.320 the Lions, we saw them play. And the other reason 0:28:45.320 --> 0:28:48.840 I'm happy is, you know the one team, Demonsey, that 0:28:48.880 --> 0:28:51.640 you can hold up next to the Chiefs right now 0:28:52.160 --> 0:28:56.400 and be like, hey, what what are you what's the 0:28:56.560 --> 0:28:59.560 what are you gonna say bad about this team? And 0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:04.640 I'm gonna say, no, there isn't anything. The Bucks, the Bucks, 0:29:04.840 --> 0:29:11.080 who are my pick going into the year. I'm feeling good. 0:29:11.400 --> 0:29:13.440 I had to eat it a lot those first couple 0:29:13.480 --> 0:29:16.440 of weeks. I had to come on here talk about 0:29:16.440 --> 0:29:20.040 all these concerns. I had to listen to the great 0:29:20.280 --> 0:29:24.360 my beloved Kevin Wilde's act like Andy Reid and Travis 0:29:24.480 --> 0:29:29.280 Kelsey are not essentially family and worry about the fact 0:29:29.360 --> 0:29:33.160 that Andy bumped Travis. I do all that, and less 0:29:33.160 --> 0:29:35.360 than a month later, you know the other way, I 0:29:35.400 --> 0:29:39.360
