All Right. The other part 24 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: that we want to get into before we get into 25 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: the kind of the guts of this Jaguars Chiefs game, 26 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: are the patches that we're wearing. This is the annual 27 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,199 Speaker 1: Salute to Service game. Truthfully, it's my favorite regular season 28 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: week of the year. The Chiefs have been the leaders 29 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: in this in the National Football League in doing just 30 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: exactly that, saluting to service, those who have served, those 31 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: who serve, and those who will serve, not only in 32 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: the United States, but two our allies around the world. Right, 33 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: A lot of the folks that are in the Chiefs 34 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: Kingdom are not citizens of the US, but love the Chiefs. 35 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: But this patch is very interesting. This year it's the 36 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary of Operation Linebacker one and two. It was 37 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: the nineteen seventy two airmission in North Vietnam that where 38 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,919 Speaker 1: Derrek Thomas, the great Kansas City Chiefs icon and profile 39 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: ball Hall of Fame, or his father, Captain Robert Thomas, 40 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: actually volunteered for the mission. He was co piloting a 41 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: fifty two super Fortress and it was knocked down with 42 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: two surface stair missiles and he lost his life. But 43 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: this patch commemorates so many things involved with Operation Linebacker 44 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: one and two and the lives of both Derek Thomas 45 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: and his father, Captain Robert Thomas. Yeah, it's so cool. 46 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: And every year first Lute to Service a month we 47 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: have a different patch that the guys wear on their 48 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: warm ups that we get to wear on our hoodies 49 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: and everything, and it honors something and this year with 50 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: it being about DT and his dad, it's just so 51 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: much even more special, I think. But we obviously love football. 52 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: Everyone and Chi's Kingdom loves football and that's what we're 53 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: all here to talk about. But without our men and 54 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: women in the line of duty who put their lives 55 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: on the line every single day for us, we wouldn't 56 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: get to do any of this. And they defend our 57 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: freedoms every single day. They defend people that they will 58 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: never meet every single day, and they do it because 59 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: it's the right thing to do. So we thank everyone 60 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: in our armed forces and we're honoring you with this 61 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 1: podcast and a month long with patches like this and 62 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,399 Speaker 1: all of our gear. Yep, it's awesome. The camouflage part 63 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: of the patch Charcoal one was the B fifty two 64 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: super Fortress that Captain Thomas was flying that day. So 65 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: that's the colors on the patch. We do so many 66 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: awesome things. I remember twenty eighteen. We have so many 67 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: European Kingdom defenders that watch and listen to us on 68 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: defending the Kingdom. It was the one hundredth anniversary of 69 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: the end of World War One, and the Chiefs were 70 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: actually playing the Cardinals on that day to the day 71 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,519 Speaker 1: one hundred years later, November eleventh, in twenty eighteen, and 72 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: we in the stadium played twenty one bills just like 73 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: they did throughout Europe the day that that the armistice 74 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: was final on the eleventh or the eleventh day of 75 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: the eleventh month. But I just remember the moment where 76 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: all the Chiefs players and all the Arizona Cardinals players 77 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: just stopped as those bells played, and it just gave 78 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: me an indication of how much the Chiefs organization values 79 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: what you just said and is a conduit for think 80 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: beyond football to bigger things. Yeah, that day was so special. 81 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: I remember that, and you think about how we still 82 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: remember those people and we understand what they did for 83 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: us and to make America what it is today. We 84 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: remember that one hundred years later. And for you know, 85 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: Chiefs players and Cardinals players, obviously they're going to go 86 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: on the field and compete against one another, but for 87 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: them to stop and recognize that, and for everyone in 88 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: the stadium to stop and add that have that perspective, 89 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: it was very cool to be a part of. And 90 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: every single year we do this, and with this particular patch, 91 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: with it being the Derek Thomas connection with his dad, 92 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: it's just really amazing stuff. So it should be a 93 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: really amazing event at geha Field Arroohead Stadium on Sunday. 94 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: If you're going to come to the game, make sure 95 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: you stay in your seats at halftimes. Oh boy, oh boy, 96 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: Yes serious, sir. And when you come to gha Field, 97 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,239 Speaker 1: that Aarohead Stadium on your pilgrimage from around the world, 98 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: you Kingdom defenders. Also put the National World War One 99 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: Museum on your list and then come here to Tomstown 100 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: and you'll be chucking off two things you need to 101 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: do when you come here. All right, speaking of checking 102 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: the list, let's check the let's go around the world 103 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: with our kingdom defenders and on defending the kingdom. Yeah, 104 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: what a segue. It's perfect. So I have fourteen today 105 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: people around the world listening to DTK. So we have 106 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: dw in Tucson, Arizona, a twenty year veteran of the 107 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: Air Force's our first one. We have Nick and Jacksonville 108 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: reporting from behind enemy lines, originally from Shawnee, Kansas. His 109 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: two year old son, Rivers often says, go chiefs, but 110 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: it sounds like goat cheese. Let me laugh. We've got 111 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: Zoron from Croatia, Rob from Seoul, South Korea. Penny in Calhoun, Missouri. 112 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: Mark was listening in Tennessee last week, so reporting from 113 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: behind enemy lines. Wilson is in Jamestown, New York, just 114 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: south of Buffalo Trevors and Pensacola, Florida, but originally from Columbia, Missouri. 115 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,239 Speaker 1: Summer is in Joplin, Missouri. Gary is in Springfield, Missouri. 116 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: Always have to get someone from Springfield on here every week. Yep, 117 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: Dwights listening in Jamaica. Alice is in Pittsburgh, Kansas. Go Gorillas. 118 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: Georgie is in Waterloo, Iowa. And remember the listener that 119 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: I met at the zoo a little while ago. Didn't 120 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: get his name, though, well I followed up with him. 121 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: His name is Benny, So shout out to Benny. I 122 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: met him at the zoo. All right, all right, here 123 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: come the Jaguars. And just like I think this also 124 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: goes in line with our salute to service this weekend, 125 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: because the women and men who serve not just in 126 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: the United States Armed Forces, but with our allies around 127 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: the world have to be ready. They just prepare every 128 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: day for readiness. And so our theme with this Jaguars game, 129 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: and Matt, you and I were talking earlier today is 130 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: to be ready. Because you and I both agree. As 131 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: we started to do the deep dive into this Jacksonville team, 132 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: we both had the same impression. You better appreciate and 133 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: respect this opponent and be ready, or you could pay 134 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: the price. If you do not watch the Jaguars often, 135 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: you might look at their record and the recent history 136 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: and assume that they are not very good and that 137 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: the Chiefs should roll in this game. Those notions about them, 138 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: if you do not watch them often, are most likely misguided. 139 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: Because when we dug into this team, I think you 140 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,559 Speaker 1: and I were both surprised with what we saw really 141 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. This is a team 142 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: that has a ton of young talent, and they're young, 143 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: so they don't always put it together in the end 144 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: with a victory, but they are tough throughout. They have 145 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: what six losses this season, all of them by one score. 146 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: This isn't a team that's been rolled over a whole 147 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: bunch of times and they get blown out. No, They're 148 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: in almost every game until the end. There's some of 149 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: the fastest starters in the NFL. There's splits in terms 150 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: of quarters are really interesting. They're one of the best 151 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: teams in the NFL. In the first and third quarter 152 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: they're plus sixty three and point differential, but they just 153 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: struggle to finish in the second and fourth quarters. They're 154 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: minus forty two. But they have the third largest first 155 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: quarter scoring margin in the NFL. So they're a good 156 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: team that doesn't quite put it all together at times. 157 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: They're inconsistent, but they're very talented and this will not 158 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: be an easy one for the Chiefs. The chiusing to 159 00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: make sure they go into this game knowing that they're 160 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: going to get a really good shot from a very young, 161 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: talented team and Matt I'm gonna get into this. There's 162 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: a little bit up. There could be a slip and 163 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: surge in the AFC South with Tennessee the injuries to 164 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. We'll see how that goes. But this is 165 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: a Jaguars team that could get hot, and if the 166 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: Titans slip, this could be the team to surge. And 167 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: there's some thought even coming out of Jacksonville. Smoot I 168 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: know mentioned it. Hey, if we get hot, we could 169 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: be a playoff team. So Jacksonville sensing that. But let 170 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: me just say this about Patrick Mahomes. First. I saw 171 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: this this afternoon, just before we went on. Patrick Mahomes 172 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: has won twenty three straight games in November and December. 173 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: This is ridiculous. It is an all time NFL record 174 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: forty three straight starts in November and December since twenty 175 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: nineteen by Patrick Mahomes. No one in the league has 176 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 1: done that. Yeah, and so that's one thing to help 177 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: you get ready. It's just put fifteen on the field. 178 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: So the late Terres Paler, of course, with the Casey 179 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: Star and Yahoo Sports, one of the best sports writers 180 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: of all time. In my opinion, I shadowed him when 181 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: I was in eighth grade and he was covering the 182 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: Casey Brigade for the Casey Star way back in the day. 183 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: And he was always just the kindest, most amazing guy. 184 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: May rest in peace, But one thing he used to 185 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: always say about Patrick Mahomes and games like what we 186 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: saw on Sunday is that that's an over my dead 187 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: body game for Patrick Mahomes. And under no circumstances is 188 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: he going to lose this game? Yeah, nothing has gone right. Yeah, 189 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: the offense has punted like seven consecutive times. Patrick Mahomes 190 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: doesn't care if there's time on the clock, He's going 191 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: to try to find a way. And that's what we 192 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: saw on that scoring drive that tied the game for 193 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Third and seventeen, he scrambles for twenty yards 194 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: third and nine in the red zone, he scrambles for 195 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: a fourteen yard touchdown, and then on the two point 196 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: conversion try, we got a few redos because of penalties 197 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: and everything. He then scrambles for the two point conversion 198 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,719 Speaker 1: ties the game for the Chiefs with only a couple 199 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 1: minutes left. The Chiefs end up winning it in overtime, 200 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: but that's the kind of game that separates a team 201 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: that has a guy like Patrick Mahomes from other really 202 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: good teams, because I remember thinking about it for just 203 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 1: years as a Chiefs fan, quarterbacks like Peyton Manning or 204 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. You're like, man, those guys have that guy, 205 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: and that guy finds a way. We are so fortunate 206 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: that we have that guy absolutely, and we have the 207 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: other guy, Travis Kelsey. Those two together have more yards 208 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: in a five season span than any quarterback tight end 209 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: duo in NFL history in a five year span. All right, 210 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: let's jump into the be ready part of this, and 211 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: to me, who jumps off the page with this Jaguar 212 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: team where they've really changed is Travis etn the great 213 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: running back at a Clemson who was Trevor Lawrence's teammate 214 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: there last year had the Liz Frank injury and missed 215 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: all of twenty twenty one. He was slow and becoming 216 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: a starter. Doug Peterson slowed him into that RB one role. 217 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: But since he's been there four hundred and sixty nine 218 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 1: yards for e TN That is a Jaguar record in 219 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: that span of since becoming a starter since Week four. 220 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: To me, he's the game changer we'll talk about Trevor 221 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: Lawrence here in a second. But etn makes this team 222 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: way different than they've been in the last year and 223 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 1: a half. He's another example of a guy that when 224 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 1: we kind of dug into the Jags, it's I didn't 225 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: realize Travis ETM was having such a great season. Like, 226 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: I know he's a first round pick. I know that 227 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: he missed last year and this is basically his rookie season. 228 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: I know he's a good player, but when you see 229 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: what he's been doing lately, it's like, oh, man, Like 230 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: he's really coming on strong. I mean eight hundred and 231 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: fifty four yards from scrimmage this season and he's dynamic. 232 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: Six hundred and eighty of those are rushing, one hundred 233 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: and seventy four of those are receiving. That total is 234 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: eleventh best in the NFL, and he's accounted for twenty 235 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: five percent of the Jaguars offense this year. In terms 236 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: of scrimmage yards, consider that he didn't really play a 237 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: whole lot early on this season, that's really impressive. He 238 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: has five straight games with at least one hundred yards 239 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: from scrimmage and in that span he's third in the 240 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: NFL and scrimmage yards behind only Tyreek Hill and Alvin Kamara. 241 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: So that gets your attention right. He's in that category 242 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: right now of player and for the Chiefs, this is 243 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: the guy they have to make sure they contain in 244 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: this game because I'm assuming the Jags that for them 245 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: coming into this they're thinking they're going to feed Etn 246 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: over and over again, both on the ground and through 247 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: the air. That's the number one priority for the Chiefs 248 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: is containing this guy on this Jags offense. He also 249 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 1: provides a big play threat for them. I know you're 250 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: gonna get into the twenty plus plays. It's really interesting 251 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: how many they have and their red zone trips, so 252 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: their offensive productivity will surprise you. But Etn has six 253 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: runs of twenty yards or more. Keep in mind he 254 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: didn't really become the RB one until Week four. He 255 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: has six runs of twenty yards or more. That's third 256 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Number one is Nick Chubb of Cleveland. 257 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: Number two is Derrick Henry of Tennessee. Number three is 258 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: Travis Etn of the Jacksonville Jaguars. They have twelve twenty 259 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: plus runs that's second only the Cleveland So the Chiefs 260 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: have to be ready on account for that. Big time 261 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: or it could be an interesting day. Yeah, they definitely do. 262 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: And you alluded to it, like how a lot of 263 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: their offensive numbers are really good. This is something else 264 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: that jumped off the page to me. They have the 265 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: most first downs in the NFL. That Jacksonville Jaguars have 266 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: the most first downs in the NFL. You would never 267 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 1: guess that, but they do. They have two hundred and 268 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: three first downs, it's most in the league. They have 269 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty one plays of ten or more 270 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: yards this year. That's type with the Chiefs for the 271 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: third most in the AFC. And they have the most 272 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: red zone drives in the NFL with thirty four. They're 273 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: actually tied with the Chiefs on that one as well. 274 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: What's the difference? Why are they only scoring twenty two 275 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: point two points per game? There's a couple of reasons, 276 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: but red zone is part of that. So they're in 277 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: the red zone a lot, right, But they're only scoring 278 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: touchdowns at a fifty three percent clip, as twenty first 279 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: in the NFL. By contrast, the Chiefs are at seventy 280 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: four percent, which is second in the NFL behind only 281 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: Tennessee and Tennessee's is kind of cheating because they have 282 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: way less red zone drives than the Chiefs do. But 283 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: Kansas City's converting red zone trips into touchdowns traditionally didn't 284 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: really do it against Tennessee, but over the course of 285 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: the season they are. The Jaguars really are not. And 286 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: they have four red zone giveaways this season that's tied 287 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: for the most in the NFL, and thirteen turnovers overall 288 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: as a team that is number six in the league. 289 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: But this team can move the football and they're the 290 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: kind of team that doesn't really struggle offensively throughout the game. 291 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: They struggle when they get down into the red area. 292 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: But those kind of teams are dangerous because it only 293 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: takes a few plays to turn those red zone numbers around. 294 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: So for the Chiefs defensively, coming off a great game 295 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: against Tennessee, particularly in the second half, gotta make sure 296 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: you take these guys seriously because all year long, they're 297 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: moving the ball honestly better than most teams. Trevor Lawrence, 298 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: we can discuss him here. We know he's a terrific talent. 299 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,959 Speaker 1: He's been up and down. You mentioned the red zone turnovers. 300 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: It's been turnovers for him and I know Doug Peterson's 301 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: bringing him along as he goes here. And last year 302 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: was a disaster for this franchise until the end when 303 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: they pulled off some of the biggest upsets of the year. 304 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: But Lawrence through seventeen interceptions last year in his rookie year, 305 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: that tied for the NFL lead. This year, he has 306 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: six interceptions and he's lost five phumbles. There's your four 307 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: red zone turnovers. He has eleven giveaways Trevor Lawrence. That 308 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: is the most of any human being in twenty twenty 309 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: two in the National Football League. Yeah, consistency is really 310 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: the thing with him. You can clearly see at times 311 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: why he was the number one overall pick a couple 312 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: of years ago and one of those guys that everyone 313 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: said would be a slam dunk Like. A talent is obvious, 314 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: but he's just not consider right now in his career, 315 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: and that's happened this season. He's been really good sometimes. 316 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: He has four games this season with a passer rating 317 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: north of one o nine, but also four games with 318 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: a passerating south of seventy six. Now, passer rating is 319 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: a flawed stat but you get the idea like he 320 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: struggled mightily sometimes and then been really good other times. 321 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: With him, when he's really good, it's when he's getting 322 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: rid of the football quickly, when he holds onto the ball, 323 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: that's where he struggles. At two point five seconds is 324 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: kind of like that benchmark. When he holds onto the 325 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: football for longer than two point five seconds, he's completing 326 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: just fifty percent of his passes, only four touchdowns, four interceptions. 327 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: But when he gets rid of the ball before then 328 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: and faster than two point five seconds, he's completing seventy 329 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: five percent of his passes for seven touchdowns and two interceptions. 330 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: He really struggles under pressure. That kind of factors into 331 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: this as well. If you look at Pro Football Focus grades, 332 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: which I know sometimes we don't know how we feel 333 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: about those, but in this case it kind of makes sense. 334 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: There's been twenty six quarterbacks this season that have dropped 335 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: back at least two hundred times. They grade him as 336 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: the worst in the NFL among those when under pressure. 337 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: So I think defensively for the Chiefs, the two most 338 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: important things got to make sure you cover his first 339 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: read when he's throwing the football, don't let him get 340 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: the ball out quickly, and have that offense be in 341 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: rhythm and if that first read is covered, create pressure 342 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: on him, and odds are this season he'll throw the 343 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: football your way, He'll make a mistake. He's still gonna 344 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: make some great plays in this game. Trevor Lawrence is 345 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, but that consistency has been a problem so 346 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: far this year. And if you can get pressure on him, 347 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: that's where he really struggles. Again. We're at Tomstown on 348 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: Main Street, Kansas City, in the Crossroads area, but a 349 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: historic place. You can dive right into the nineteen twenties 350 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: and nineteen thirties when you visit Kansas City and come 351 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: to Tomstown again, the official gin partner of the Kansas 352 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: City Chiefs. Defensively, let's touch on this before we close 353 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: the show out. And they've got some dudes here now, 354 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: I mean Trevon Walker goes off the board first in 355 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two draft, and not long after that 356 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd came. These are two dynamic linebackers. They remind 357 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: me a little bit of the Tampa Bay linebackers that 358 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: were playing at that level in Super Bowl fifty five 359 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. When you think of a deb and white, Yeah, 360 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: guys that have great size, but also incredible speed, like 361 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: they shouldn't be that fast for as big as they are. 362 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: They got some playmakers on defense and overall. I mean, 363 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: this is the number eleven scoring defense in the NFL. 364 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: They're allowing nineteen point eight points per game. It's pretty good. 365 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 1: They've held opponents under twenty four points and six of 366 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: their last eight games. Their middle of the pack and 367 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 1: a lot of categories, but they have struggled with the 368 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: big play at times. This year. They've allowed one hundred 369 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: and twenty four plays of double digit yardage. That's fifth 370 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: most in the NFL. And even though they have all 371 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: this talent, at times they struggle to get off the field. 372 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: They don't often get the opposition behind the sticks with 373 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 1: like sacks and stuff like that. They're kind of middle 374 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 1: of the pack in those areas as well. But they've 375 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: allowed nineteen drives of ten or more plays, It's third 376 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: most in the NFL. Defense gets tired after a while, 377 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they get beat over 378 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: the top for a big touchdown. They've lost so many 379 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: close games. I have a feeling that when the defense 380 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: is on the field too much at times, that's kind 381 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: of where these things slip away from them. Kind of 382 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: saw that against the Broncos a few weeks ago. Last week, 383 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 1: we saw one of the more underrated defenders in the 384 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: National Football League in Simmons with the Tennessee Titans. Josh Allen. 385 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: The other Josh Allen of the NFL that plays for 386 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 1: these guys. You mentioned pressures. They haven't had a bunch 387 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: of those, but Josh Allen does. He's got thirty one pressures. 388 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: He's got ninety four percent of the Jaguar pressures. But 389 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: you have to account for Josh Allen or you could 390 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: have a long day. Yeah, twelve quarterback hits for Josh 391 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: Allen as well. I mean he's a monster. Dwan Smoot 392 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: is coming on lately for them. He has five sacks 393 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: this year and three and a half in his last two. 394 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: Is the tricky one. Yeah, he'll sneak up on you. Yeah. No, 395 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,719 Speaker 1: He's been good lately for them. And they have other 396 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: guys like arden Key, pretty good player. But what's really 397 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: interesting with these guys is even though they have all 398 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: this talent, miss tackles has been a problem for them. 399 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: They have ninety nine miss tackles this season. That's most 400 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: in the NFL. They have four players with ten or 401 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: more miss tackles this season, and the Chiefs have the 402 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 1: most yards after the catch of any team in the NFL. 403 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: So that's one area to watch in this game. If 404 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: the Jags are missing some tackles at times in the 405 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 1: Chiefs are on offense, and then Chiefs can turn a 406 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: five yard gain into a fifteen yard gain. That's where 407 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: the Jags of lost games defensively, and frankly, that's where 408 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: the Chiefs have won a bunch of games this season. 409 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: Miss tackles are often the indicator of a defense that 410 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: is young and still growing, but is talented. That can 411 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: change at any time, but at least so far, the 412 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: Jaguars are struggled in that area. Yeah, thank slipping surge 413 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: here if you're gonna follow the AFC South over the 414 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: next eight weeks. One of the guy I want to 415 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: mention here's Foya Luikon. We have a lot of Saint 416 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: Louis Kingdom defenders. Right. He played at John Burrows High 417 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 1: School with Zeke Elliott, Saint Louis native, but he's been 418 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: a very good player. He was with Atlanta, had a 419 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,479 Speaker 1: big game against the Chiefs in fact, a fifty one 420 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: yard interception against the Chiefs in the COVID year of 421 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,719 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. But he's a really good, sneaky defender for Jacksonville. 422 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: So let's close this way again. We're at Tomstown. When 423 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 1: you come to Kansas City, or if you're in the 424 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: Chiefs Kingdom, this is a must a visit to come 425 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: here and have an evening out, date night, visit with 426 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: some friends and be here. But you'll feel like you're 427 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: traveling back in time. It's wonderful. I love the history 428 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: of this place. But Doug Peterson came to Kansas City 429 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: with Andy Reid when the Chiefs were two and fourteen 430 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 1: and at the bottom of the NFL. I said algae 431 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: at the bottom of the ocean, phytal Plankton. Doug walked 432 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: into a difficult situation in jackson But let's just call 433 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: it what it was. It was a mess. It was 434 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: a mess with a young team. But you already see 435 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: what Doug did in Kansas City helping coach Reid get 436 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: off to that great start in twenty thirteen. Now there's 437 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 1: not a nine and oh start, But if there's a 438 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: slipping surge here in the AFC South with the Titans 439 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: getting replaced here a little bit or challenged by the Jaguars. 440 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: To me, it's that Doug Peterson knows how to do 441 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: reclamation projects and he's got Press Taylor with him. While 442 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,239 Speaker 1: I respect Mike called was a DC, this is an 443 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: organization to keep an eye on, and it's meanly because 444 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson is there and he's got some young talent. Yeah, 445 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: sports and football in particular are so contingent on culture. 446 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: Culture is so important for any team sport, and the 447 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: NFL that's certainly the case. And I think the comparison 448 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: you made between the two thirteen Chiefs and this year's 449 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars is so accurate because that Chiefs team in 450 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: two twelve had so much talent. I think they had 451 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: six Pro Bowlers on that team, but yet they won 452 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: just two games. The culture wasn't there. Coach Reid comes 453 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: in with Doug Peterson as offensive coordinator immediately, the culture 454 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: changes immediately, and we're still enjoying that culture here today 455 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: that he laid the foundation for way back then. For 456 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: the Jags, of course, they want to win this season, 457 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: but they're thinking down the road. They're thinking what kind 458 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: of culture can we build that we can enjoy for 459 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: the next five to ten years. And Doug in his 460 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: press conference i think it was yesterday, even mentioned this like, 461 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: of course I'm focused on the wins, but I'm focused 462 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: on how we're also playing in these games. Are we 463 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: fighting throughout? Are we trying to find a way in 464 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: the end? Are we in it at the very end? 465 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 1: And the answer for them this season is yes, they're 466 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: in all of these games. That's why this isn't an 467 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: easy team. This isn't an easy win for the Chiefs 468 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,719 Speaker 1: by any means, because this team is young and fighting 469 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: and establishing a culture and they have nothing to lose. 470 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: And when you're really talented and you have nothing to lose, 471 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 1: that makes you dangerous. That's what we saw even last 472 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: season late against the Colts when they beat the Colts 473 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: and kept them out of the playoffs. So this Jags 474 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: team is going to be a lot of fun, like 475 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: you mentioned, to watch in years to come, because they're 476 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 1: very talented. I think they're trending in the right direction, 477 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: and as we've seen with Doug, he can help build 478 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: the winner. So it'll be tough. The good news is 479 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 1: coach Reid, though traditionally beats his pupils in these games. 480 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 1: Hopefully adds to that record here on Sunday. Yeah. They 481 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: also beat the Bills last year nine to six and 482 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: one of the craziest, the biggest up set of the 483 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: whole year. And that allowed the Chiefs to play the 484 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,239 Speaker 1: Bills at home and Josh Allen sacked Josh Sallen. That 485 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: was so cool. Another I invited buss Tom Pendergast to 486 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,719 Speaker 1: come tonight. He didn't make it, nor did Harry Truman. 487 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: How rude. Well, I know, well dust Tom helped Harry 488 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: climb up the political letter. I invited Atro Bartle, the 489 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: old mayor of Kansas City who promised Lamar Hunt all 490 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 1: those season tickets to get the Dallas Texans here. Yeah. 491 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: I invited all those guys. Nobody showed up. But you're here. 492 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 1: Well that's what matters, man, It's all that youth. It's 493 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: a youthful challenge. Oh yeah, but when you come to 494 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: Kansas City, make sure you've at Tomstown again on Main 495 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: Street in the crossroads area. Hey, you can take the 496 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: street car. I'll drop you off right here. You will 497 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: have an outstanding evening.
