1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: For the third time in four post seasons, the Buffalo 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: Bills and Kansas City Chiefs will meet, although this time 3 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 1: in Orchard Park, New York. The Chiefs get an incredible 4 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: triumph in a victory in the coldest day ever at 5 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: Gha Field at Arrowhead Stadium of the Miami Dolphins that 6 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: gets them a trip to Buffalo as the number two 7 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: seed meets the number three seed, and of course, defending 8 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: the Kingdom is brought to you by Ticketmaster. 9 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 2: Mahomes does right. 10 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 3: Side top rice at the five Island right touchdown Chanza 11 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 3: City rookie russ Hey rice his first postseason touchdown an 12 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 3: eleven yard crossing pattern, and just like Germany, the Chiefs 13 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 3: have an outstanding opening drive for a touchdown to start 14 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 3: the game. And Hi everyone, I'm Mitch Holta's voice of 15 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,639 Speaker 3: the Chiefs along with senior team reporter Mac McMullen. 16 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 2: And here we are again. 17 00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: This feels like a Brady Peyton Manning esque kind of 18 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: battle here because Mahomes and Alan have some playoff history 19 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: and regular season history. 20 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, it really does. 21 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 5: I think as soon as we found out Mahomes was 22 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 5: going to be like this kind of player, this all 23 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 5: time kind of player. The very first thing that everyone 24 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 5: wants to do is figure out who his adversary is. 25 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 4: Who's his villain? 26 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: Right and over Luthor to Superman, Yeah, because he is 27 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: Superman and Josh as Lex Luthor. 28 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 2: I like him, but you're Lex Luthor. Sorry this week 29 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 2: for sure. 30 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 4: Yeah. 31 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 5: But like initially it was like, maybe Lamar Jackson's that guy, 32 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 5: and in recent seasons, ay, maybe Joe Burrow is that guy. 33 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 5: But just based on the history and all of the matchups, 34 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 5: it really feels like Josh Allen is that guy. And 35 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 5: it's also interesting because Mahomes and Allen are kind of 36 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 5: similar players in a lot of ways. They kind of 37 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 5: play this backyard style of football at such an elite 38 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 5: level that it works. You would never teach it to anyone, 39 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 5: but it works for them and their friends. Off the field. 40 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 5: They did the golf thing a couple of years ago. 41 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 5: There's a lot of angles there. But yeah, I think 42 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 5: this is going to be just another one of many 43 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 5: matchups against the Bills and Josh Allen. 44 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,559 Speaker 1: In the biggest moments, you could argue Lamar Jackson would 45 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: be in this conversation. But here's where I'm going. These 46 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: two quarterbacks are the best at making plays off schedule, 47 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: and Josh Allen's been braying he was in the Pittsburgh 48 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: game in the wild card win. But we've seen Patrick 49 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: Mahomes do it since he became QB one and twenty eighteen. 50 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: So that's what makes this game exciting because you have 51 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: no idea what's coming even within the concept of one play, 52 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: and the play design may break down, but these two 53 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: quarterbacks can make it happen now before we go to 54 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: Orchard Park, New York, even in this podcast because we're 55 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: entitling it another chapter. It's just like the five times 56 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: that Manning met Brady in the postseason. Manning won the 57 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: last three. He was three and two against Tom Brady 58 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: in the postseason. Everything's that Patriots won every game, yeah, 59 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: and every super Bowl they went from oh they went 60 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: from two thousand and five to twenty fourteen and didn't 61 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl a decade. 62 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 4: It was really two runs. 63 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 5: They had their run where they won the beginning of 64 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 5: four and then they did it again ten years later. 65 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 2: Winning three or five. 66 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, three of five. 67 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. 68 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 5: But people, you're right, think that the Patriots just won 69 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 5: every single super Bowl. 70 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: They didn't, And Peyton Manning's gonna wait a minute, I 71 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: was I had a winning record in the playoffs against 72 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Okay, that being said, let's take a trip 73 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: in the space station that is fueled by Matt McMullen 74 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: as he's thawed now from the minus five minus twenty 75 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: eight wind chill game against the Miami Dolphins. 76 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 2: Let's take a trip around the world. 77 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 4: Hold on, we need to talk about how ridiculous that was. 78 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 5: Which ridiculous field pass before the game and I had 79 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 5: like a full like face mask on, and I was 80 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 5: down there kind of getting acclimated, and I was thinking, 81 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 5: this isn't so bad. And then when I took the 82 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 5: mask off to do field pass, I put the headset on. 83 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 5: All of a sudden, I'm like, I've never been this 84 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 5: cold before in my life. And I was thinking, like, 85 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 5: how cold can it really be? 86 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: Like? 87 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 4: How cold is cold? It was so cold. 88 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 5: I can't believe that the whole event was able to 89 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 5: go on the way it did. And I mean, the 90 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 5: crowd was unbelievable, weren't they. I mean, for those fans 91 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 5: to power through that and to create the atmosphere that 92 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 5: they did was incredible. 93 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: I used the word triumph earlier. 94 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: A friend of mine it was on Sunday said that 95 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: was a triumph, and I thought, you know, that's a 96 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: perfect word. That's why I put it on Twitter that way, 97 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: because I've never been prouder in my thirty years of 98 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: a team to play in those conditions and to handle 99 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: those conditions that well. Because, like we said on field 100 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: Pass Matt, everybody that touched the ball, that's what coach 101 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: said on the radio pregame show, that means Winchester, that 102 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: means Tommy Townsend kicking the ball. I was talking to 103 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: Harrison Bucker aft of the game. I mean his leg 104 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: and foot were like black and blue because he was 105 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: kicking ice and a big, huge ice sculpture basically every time. 106 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: But the way that the offensive players handle it, and 107 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: especially Patrick Mahomes, Yeah, we've seen so much toughness Matt 108 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: from him, but for him to play at that level 109 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: and those conditions was a whole other level. 110 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: To me, He's just the best. 111 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 5: And you can look at numbers and stats, we love 112 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 5: doing that, and all of those illustrate how good he 113 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 5: has been in his career already. But when you watch 114 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 5: the game, you watch how he takes his play to 115 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 5: an even higher level in frankly, almost impossible conditions in 116 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 5: a playoff game. He is just the best player on 117 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 5: the field and you can just tell, you just feel it, 118 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 5: and he's going to do whatever it takes to win. 119 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 5: And I'm just so glad we have that guy on 120 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 5: our team because I can't imagine playing against him. 121 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: Well, and as I put on that tweet, it was 122 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: more than just a single playoff victory. It's a standalone 123 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: game in and of itself winning in the postseason. But 124 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: to do it how the Chiefs did it in those 125 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: conditions is just kind of set aside in its own 126 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: special place. 127 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 5: Well, how about some Mahomes fun facts here while we're 128 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 5: getting off on a tangent, because that's what we do 129 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 5: here on DTK. So, Mahomes pasted Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman, 130 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 5: and Aaron Rodgers in terms of career playoff wins on Saturday. 131 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 5: Past them, he has more playoff wins than those three players. 132 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 5: Here are the only quarterbacks in NFL history with more 133 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 5: postseason wins than twenty eight year old Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, 134 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 5: Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw, John Elway, Peyton Manning, Brett Farv 135 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 5: and Ben Roethlisberger and Big Ben and Brett Farv have thirteen, 136 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 5: So if the Chiefs can win this weekend, he'll match 137 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 5: those two players. So we all know this. We know 138 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 5: that Patrick Mahomes is already one of the greatest players 139 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 5: to ever play this game. But every time he makes 140 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 5: a playoff, start kind of think about your surroundings. Soak 141 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 5: it in and think about it. You're watching one of 142 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 5: the greatest to ever do it in his prime. So 143 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 5: pretty special. 144 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: And again we said it on the post game when 145 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: we were doing rewind, but this franchise is now twenty 146 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: one and twenty one in the postseason. Before Andy Reid 147 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: got here, they had eight postseason wins, and twelve of 148 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: those thirteen Andy Reid wins here are Patrick Mahomes. And 149 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: I think he's only five off or four off being 150 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: second because he's c a in fast On Montana sixteen, 151 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: So I'm telling you that he's right there, So four 152 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,239 Speaker 1: ties Joe Montana. That puts everything in perspective as well. 153 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: But I know you've got a space station ready to 154 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: take off and fly around the world. 155 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: I do. I do. 156 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 5: We could talk about Patrick mahomes historical numbers forever because 157 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 5: if they Chee and Kelsey, Yeah, because I mean Kelsey 158 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 5: is Jerry Rice. 159 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 4: That's what he is. 160 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 5: Historically, twenty years from now, they will look at Travis 161 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 5: Kelce like they look at Jerry Rice now, which is crazy. 162 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: He's right there one two one two one two and 163 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: receiving yards, catches and touchdowns on the postseason. It's not 164 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: tight end list now, and it's not wide receiver list. 165 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: It's past catcher dude's list, and it's Rice Kelsey, Rice Kelsey, 166 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: Rice Kelsey. And he's closing in on Jerry Rice. 167 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 4: Yeah. 168 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 5: He sure is just an amazing run of success.

But 344 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: we got to give some props here to the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, 345 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: when they came here on the ninth of December, now 346 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: they had two weeks to get ready for the Chiefs. 347 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: And going back to that December the tenth game, I 348 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: was reviewing it, that seems like two years ago. I mean, 349 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: that stretch from when we came off the Germany to 350 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: the end of the regular season in the game against 351 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: the Chargers just seems like and I know I had COVID, 352 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: I missed the game against Green Bay, but that was 353 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: one of the toughest stretches really over the last several years, 354 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: I thought. But now Buffalo was six and six when 355 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: they came to Kansas City. Their chances of winning the 356 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: AFC East was five percent. Miami was steamroll into the 357 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: division title, and the Bills give them credit when the 358 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: last five regular season games they win the wildcard game 359 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: over Pittsburgh. But this is a team that you have 360 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: to respect for what they got done in that difficult 361 00:15:58,640 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: point of the season. 362 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 5: Absolutely, and I think because we've played the Bills so 363 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 5: many times, I think a lot of us kind of 364 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 5: knew this is going to happen. I mean, when the 365 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 5: Bills were six and six and they have like a 366 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 5: five percent chance to make the playoffs, I look at them, 367 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 5: I'm like, these are still the Buffalo Bills. This is 368 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 5: still Josh Allen. This is still a team that's been 369 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 5: there and done that. And I think that experience is 370 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 5: invaluable and I think it really helped them here to 371 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 5: win their five final regular season games and then win 372 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 5: that game over Pittsburgh over the weekend. And yeah, you 373 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 5: look at what they've done here during this stretch where 374 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 5: they've found a way to get back into the playoffs 375 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 5: and get back to Bills football. It's a little bit 376 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 5: different than what they've done in the past, because when 377 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 5: you have a quarterback like Josh Allen, and if you're 378 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 5: not watching all these games, you might think that Allen 379 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 5: has just gone crazy during this five game stretch. But 380 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 5: really what they've done is they've ran the football really effectively. 381 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 5: They lead the NFL and rushing attempts since Week fourteen, 382 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 5: with one hundred and and eighty that coincides with their 383 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 5: winning streak. They're thirteen rushes ahead of the next closest 384 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 5: team on that list. It's crazy, and they've gained seven 385 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 5: hundred and forty four yards on those rushes, averaging over 386 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 5: four yards per rush. They're averaging one hundred and forty 387 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 5: eight point eight rushing yards per game in that span, 388 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 5: fifth most in the NFL. And you can trast that 389 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 5: with their passing numbers, which you think would be really 390 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 5: high if they're winning all these games, but they're only 391 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 5: averaging two hundred and four point six passing yards per game, 392 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 5: twenty first in the NFL since Week fourteen. So they're 393 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 5: running the football with a lot of success. That's the 394 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 5: main key here for the Chiefs. Yeah, you got to 395 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 5: stop Josh Allen. Everyone knows that. But first you got 396 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 5: to stop the run. Here in this game, there are 397 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 5: triangles here. 398 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: I'm going to bring up now two triangles, one for 399 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: the Chiefs and one for the Bills. And the Bills 400 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: one is and don't I don't want to put up 401 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs bulletin board material. He's had thirty nine targets 402 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: in those last five regular season games and twenty four catches. 403 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 1: But there is a new triangle. The Bills said, how 404 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: did they win five straight games in the regular season? 405 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: To your point, Josh Allen, who had eighteen interceptions this year, 406 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: was five touchdowns and five picks in those five regular 407 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: season games. It was the running game, but it was 408 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: Josh Allen running the football. Joe Brady takes over his 409 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, They fired Ken Dorsey, and the Bills went 410 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: back to twenty twenty one. Forty four percent of Josh 411 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 1: Allen's rushing attempts were in the last five regular season 412 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: games of the year. And then we saw his scramble 413 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,959 Speaker 1: and great play against Pittsburgh, the second longest run by 414 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: a quarterback for a touchdown in postseason history in his 415 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: fifty two yarder. The second part of the triangle was 416 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 1: there all along, and that was a new emphasis with 417 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: James Cook, Dalvin's brother great at Georgia. 418 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 2: You and I both liked him at Georgia coming out 419 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 2: for the. 420 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 1: Draft, but then they made him a receiver's kind of 421 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: ironic here, but they established him in the run game. 422 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: He hurt Kansas City and the passing game, he had 423 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: big plays, including a twenty five yard touchdown. But the 424 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: third part of the triangle is interesting. It is rookie 425 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: Dalton Kincaid, who they have used in the slot a lot, 426 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: basically as a wide receiver, and not that he's had 427 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 1: a whole lot of volume in terms of catches, but 428 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: it's what he's done with those catches. When you look 429 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: at what Dalton Kincaid did, he had one hundred and 430 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: seventy one yards in the last two games. He was 431 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 1: big in the game against Pittsburgh, three catches fifty nine yards. 432 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: He now has become a weapon along with Dawson Knox. 433 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: But to me, it's kind of a Kincaid Cook Josh 434 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: Allen triangle. 435 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 5: And Dalton Kincaid is really the result of how Travis 436 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,239 Speaker 5: Kelsey has changed the NFL in my opinion, because if 437 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 5: you look at Dalton Kincaid, he is one of those 438 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 5: hybrid receivers that is playing tight end, a really big 439 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 5: guy who is really fast, who has great hands, who 440 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 5: in college was essentially a wide receiver but is playing 441 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 5: tight end because of his size, and they use him 442 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,479 Speaker 5: as such. And yeah, he's been great here down the stretch. 443 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 5: A player that we liked a lot in the draft 444 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 5: process that obviously went in the first round for a reason, 445 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 5: and he's showing why he went in the first round 446 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 5: over the last several weeks. It's going to be a 447 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 5: challenge here for the Chiefs defense because in recent years, 448 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 5: this Bill squad was Josh Allen super and he's got 449 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 5: Stefan Diggs and Gabe Davis and they're going to light 450 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 5: it up down the field. That's what they want to do. 451 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 5: And really this iteration of the Bills, how they've kind 452 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 5: of found themselves over the last several weeks. It's much different, 453 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 5: and it's about running the football, it's about using the 454 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 5: tight end. And it's interesting because this is kind of 455 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 5: the evolution of Josh Allen in a lot of ways 456 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,959 Speaker 5: where the league is kind of adjusted to what he 457 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 5: does well, so then he adjusts back and that's why 458 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 5: he's one of the best players in the league because 459 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 5: he was able to do that. So this game will 460 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 5: be a challenge once again. But this Chiefs defense has 461 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 5: been so good this year. And if you look back 462 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 5: at Week fourteen, the Bills ambushed the Chiefs, we all 463 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 5: know that they got off to a fourteen point lead, 464 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 5: but and they had one hundred and thirty nine yards 465 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 5: on their first three drives, but after that, on their 466 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 5: final six drives they go for just one hundred and 467 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 5: eighty eight yards and six points. So I think a 468 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 5: fast start defensively is key in this game. And the 469 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 5: good news is, aside from that hot start for Buffalo 470 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 5: back in week fourteen, we've seen that the Chiefs can 471 00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 5: stop this Buffalo offense. 472 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: And the adjustment Josh Allen has made has gone back 473 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: to his roots, because he's actually gone back to the 474 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: Josh Allen of the early years of his career and 475 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: the way he's doing it. Some are design runs, some 476 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: are off schedule plays, and they're still getting some shots right. 477 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: Shakir can be a target down the field with digs, 478 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: certainly can, but a lot of those come from off 479 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: schedule plays by Allen. And then Kincaid, to your point, 480 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: can run every route on the route tree one through nine. 481 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: It's not just running go routes down a seam like 482 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: a tight end route. He's like Kelsey and running all 483 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: of the route numbers on the route tree. Now for 484 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, though, I think they've established their triangle because 485 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: now you have the Kelsey Rice Pachecko triangle, not that 486 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: others aren't part of it, but they become that's becomes 487 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: your base. Okay, we're talking geometry here. You have this 488 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: base triangle of those three guys and other guys now 489 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: spin off of that. And let's don't lose side of 490 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: the fact that Pachecko did not play in that Week 491 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: fourteen loss against the Bills. 492 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 5: And that's a huge deal. And neither did Drew Try 493 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 5: on defense. He didn't play in that game either, or 494 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 5: Donovan Smith for that matter. And Nick Bolton was in 495 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 5: his first game back from injured reserve, so still kind 496 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 5: of getting his feet wet. Nick Bolton obviously. 497 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 4: Just fine. 498 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 5: Now he's back playing great football. So this is a 499 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 5: healthier Chiefs team than what the Bill saw back in 500 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 5: Week fourteen. I totally agree about the triangle though. And 501 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 5: here's one of the interesting things to watch here in 502 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 5: this game. The Bills are dealing with a lot of injuries. Defensively. 503 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 5: I'm going to list some guys off here. Some of 504 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 5: these guys still may play, we don't know. But the 505 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 5: guys they did not have in the wild card round 506 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 5: due to losing them in Week eighteen or linebacker Tyrel Dodson, 507 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 5: corner Rasuell Douglas, and safety Taylor Rapp all significant contributors. 508 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 5: Then here are the players they lost in the Steelers 509 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 5: game just last week. Corner Christian Benford, nickelback Tarron Johnson, 510 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 5: linebacker Terrell Bernard, and then linebacker Bale Inspector those players. 511 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 5: If you look at the snap counts that they had 512 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 5: back in Week fourteen against the Chiefs, three hundred and 513 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 5: forty eight defensive snaps. Bernard, Douglas, Johnson, and Benford played 514 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 5: every single snap in that game. Now, it sounds like 515 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 5: Russello Douglas will likely be back, and I'm sure some 516 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 5: of these guys will be back. But it's something to 517 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,719 Speaker 5: watch because those many significant defensive players either not playing 518 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 5: or being limited is a big deal because where are 519 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 5: those three players that you mentioned talking about, Pacheco, Kelsey 520 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 5: and Rice. Where are they at their best? The middle 521 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 5: of the football field, And those players that the Bills 522 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,199 Speaker 5: may be without or may have limited are linebackers and 523 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 5: nickel corners, players that play in the middle of the field. 524 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 5: The middle of the field, I think is the key 525 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 5: to this game. If the Chiefs can find success in 526 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,479 Speaker 5: the middle of the football field continuously over and over 527 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 5: again and march down the field because this Bill's defense 528 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 5: is struggling in that area. That is something to watch 529 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 5: and it could be one of the major keys to 530 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:49,479 Speaker 5: a victory for the Chiefs. 531 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: Let's also remember that they have three main players on 532 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: injured reserve that will not return. Matt Mulana was lost 533 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: early back on October Tredevius White as well in Joe 534 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips, who is a stud in the middle. Along 535 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: with that Oliver He's on injured reserve, won't return. So 536 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: they have had They've taken some real shots to that defense, 537 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: and yet they've been able to kind of stay. They've 538 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 1: kept their resolve. The turnovers are takeaways. They have thirty takeaways, 539 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: but we've always said this, what do you do with 540 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: those takeaways? They have ninety nine takeaway points, that's third 541 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: of the National Football League. And then the fun stat 542 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: that I thought, we know how good the Chiefs defense 543 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: has been in this last half of the season. In 544 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: the last eight games of the year, the Chiefs only 545 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 1: allowed one hundred and fifty one opponent offensive points. The 546 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: Bills allowed one hundred and fifty one. They allowed the 547 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: same over an eight game span, so it tells you 548 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: that the Bills have had to be resourceful even though 549 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: they have taken some real shots injury. 550 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 5: Was Yeah, they've been really impressive. And since Week fourteen, 551 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 5: this is the number four total defense in the NFL, 552 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 5: allowing just two hundred and seventy six point six yards 553 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 5: per game. The Chiefs are third at two hundred and 554 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 5: seventy point eight points or yards allowed per game. They're 555 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 5: also fifth and scoring at twenty six point eight points 556 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 5: allowed per game since Week fourteen, and they have not 557 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 5: allowed more than twenty two points during their winning streak. 558 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 5: So yeah, they've had these injuries, but they've found a 559 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 5: way and the takeaways really are the big part of it. 560 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 5: And if you watch the Bills Steelers game on Monday, 561 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 5: that was evident that the Steelers had their opportunities in 562 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 5: that game but a fumble here and interception there. The Bills, 563 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 5: despite some issues this season, are far too talented to 564 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 5: give them extra opportunities with the football, and the Chiefs 565 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 5: fell victim to that back in Week fourteen as well. 566 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 5: If you remember the Chiefs opening drive, they were rolling 567 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 5: right down the field, kind of a fluky interception all 568 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 5: of a sudden the Bills got rolled. 569 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 2: Hey, Japanessa tips it. It was a great play. 570 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 4: It was a great play. 571 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 5: And that's the kind of thing you have to avoid 572 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 5: against these guys because they are too good to give 573 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 5: extra possessions to them. So this is an obvious point. 574 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 5: But you cannot turn the ball over in this game 575 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 5: if you're the Chiefs. And that's why the game last 576 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 5: week against the Dolphins was so encouraging, because they were 577 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 5: just surgically efficient offensively running the football, getting yards after contact, 578 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes, dealing the ball all over the place, no mistakes, 579 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 5: just making sure every single drive, let's get points. And 580 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 5: that's the same effort we need here in this game. 581 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 5: The only caveat would be I'd like to see the 582 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 5: Chiefs finishing the red zone war against the Bills here 583 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 5: in this one compared to what they did last week 584 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 5: against the Dolphins. 585 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 4: But otherwise that was the recipe. 586 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 5: Possessed the ball, moved down the field, no mistakes, and 587 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 5: score points every possession. 588 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: The Bills Mafia can't wait. The Chiefs Kingdom can't wait. 589 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 1: Josh Allen can't wait. Patrick Mahomes can't wait. By the way, 590 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's part of the triangle because he runs the 591 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 1: ball and design runs. You can say, what happened to Mahomes. 592 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: He's not in the triangle, yeah, I said diamond. He's 593 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: in the middle of the triangle. Yeah, he's right there. 594 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: So let's just get that straight. But we do know this. 595 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: Get ready, folks, it's the Bills and Chiefs in the 596 00:26:54,040 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: postseason and that means another chapter. The thing be
