1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Every year when the NFL year begins, and I mean 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: all the way back in March, all thirty two teams 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: have boxes to check. One win the division, first priority, 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: that gets you a home game and into the playoffs. 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: But another box to check, try to get the one 6 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: by available in the AFC of the NFC. For the 7 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, chasing history, they have checked two boxes. 8 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: They're in the playoffs, they've won the division, and now 9 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: it's the next box to check. And it's all brought 10 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: to you by Ticketmaster.

Mitchelda's 12 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: voice of the Chiefs along with senior team reporter. And 13 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: by the way, we have one of our Kingdom defenders, 14 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: and I would say one of more more mature Kingdom defenders. 15 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: He's retired. He loves watching everything we do. And he said, 16 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: you've got to tell matter, introduce mat a different way 17 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: than senior team reporter. I go, well, how am I 18 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: supposed to do it? His name is Paul Hanson.

He watches everything he goes. 21 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, something like Grand Pooba of things. But anyway, Paul, 22 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: you know, and I think he might be the Paul 23 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: the magic hat on the on the Hamewark movie. Wow, okay, 24 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: he might be the actual figure that the movie was 25 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: made of, the Ed Bigley junior character. Yeah, that might 26 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: be Paul Hanson himself in the flesh. And you met him, 27 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I've met him. And he's a big fan 28 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 1: of Matt McMullen. Because say hi to Matt. 29 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 2: I'm with him, though I'm not huge into titles, you know, 30 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 2: and with the senior team reporter always begs the question 31 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: who is the junior team reporter? So I don't sure 32 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 2: what he's saying. 33 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: But you would agree with him. You want a bigger, 34 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: better title, then. 35 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 2: I mean, you can call me whatever you want. Awesome, 36 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 2: Matt's dad, professional fan. I feel sometimes. 37 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: Really good, dude, let's just do that.

The next 39 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: box to check in the Kansas City Chiefs now with, 40 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: Let's just start with nine consecutive AFC West championships. I 41 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: don't care if you are a new fan defending Kingdom 42 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 1: Defender Club in Cambodia, or you love us in the Philippines, 43 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: where we've now located you geographically, or if you're in Lebanon, Kansas, Lebanon, Missouri, 44 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: or Lebanon, Indiana. Never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever 45 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: ever take for granted winning your division, and the Chiefs 46 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: now second NFL history with nine consecutive division titles, and 47 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: you have brought it all to life with your collection, 48 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: sure have. 49 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: So this is the hat collection we always talk about. 50 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 2: There are nine division title hats in front of us now, 51 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: four conference champion hats, and three Super Bowl champion hats. 52 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 2: And you might think we're bragging by doing this or not. 53 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 2: This is meant for perspective. So when I was an 54 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 2: intern with the Chiefs back in twenty sixteen, I grew 55 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 2: up in Kansas City, I could not believe I was 56 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 2: interning with my favorite football team. And I didn't really 57 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: do anything glamorous, was just transcribing hours on end. But 58 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 2: after the Chiefs won the division in twenty sixteen, when 59 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 2: the streak began, every staff member, including all interns and seasonals, 60 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 2: get gear. And I got this hat back in twenty sixteen, 61 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: and I was so happy about it. Thought it was 62 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 2: so cool. The Chiefs won the division and I got 63 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 2: a free hat from my favorite football team, and I 64 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 2: hung on to it and I thought, I'm never going 65 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,399 Speaker 2: to get rid of this. This is so cool that 66 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 2: they gave me this. Well, I got hired full time 67 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 2: by the Chiefs the following year, and of course he 68 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 2: won the division in twenty seventeen. That hats up here 69 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: somewhere probably down there. 70 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, where is that one? Because that one's got special. 71 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: Mean, I think it's underneath this first super Bowl on 72 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 2: this is it? 73 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: Is that it? Yeah? 74 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 2: So that's the twenty seventeen hat, and I was like, 75 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: this is cool. Now I have a collection. I have 76 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 2: two right. Well, the next year, in twenty eighteen, got 77 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 2: a third hat, and I started taking a photo of 78 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 2: it and like posting it on Twitter. So in twenty 79 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: seventeen or twenty eighteen, posted a photo of my three 80 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: division championship hats and I'll never forget this. A fan 81 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 2: of another team who I will not say what team 82 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 2: it is, but they thought my collection was silly and 83 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 2: posted a photo of their team's Lombardi trophies, which there 84 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 2: were three of them, and they said, cute hat collection. 85 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 2: Here's a real collection talking about Lombardi trophies for their team. 86 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 2: Well to you, I raise you sixteen hats now that 87 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 2: the hack collection has grown into and well we're averaging 88 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 2: one point seven hats per year, with two more hats 89 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: hopefully to get this year. 90 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: And for Lombardi trophies. 91 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 2: For Lombardi trophies more yep, so we now have more 92 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 2: Lombardi's than the original poster. So just saying here is 93 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: our what we've done in the time since. Again, though 94 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 2: not meant to brag, this is meant for a perspective. 95 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: Many sports fans will go their whole life and never 96 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 2: see anything like this, and it's so important for us, 97 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 2: and we're right there with everyone, like at the end 98 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 2: of these stressful games, like I wish we won by more. Well, 99 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: remember that our team in our lifetime when we can 100 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 2: appreciate it, is doing this and we're not stopping. So 101 00:04:58,880 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: got to enjoy it. 102 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: Have you heard from that poster? 103 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 2: Have not heard from them, Not sure what happened to them, 104 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 2: but anyway. 105 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: Way to go? Or hey, you now have four Lombardies 106 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: to our three, and you have all these hats that 107 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: we don't have. 108 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 2: These hats, you know they were really eager to go 109 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: after me when I had only three hats, and when 110 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 2: you have sixteen, they don't seem to post anymore. I 111 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 2: don't know what happened. 112 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: You're back to back to back post there because we 113 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: were thinking it was so cool to win back to 114 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: back to back, but this one the first ever back 115 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: to back. This team lost six out of seven games. Yeah, 116 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: they had to win four straight at the end to 117 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: win the division. I remember it was a cold day 118 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: against Miami and Tom Holly just went into the Chief 119 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: Ring of Honor. He only played several games that year. 120 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: He came back from an injury to play in that 121 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: game and help wrap up that back to back division championship. 122 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: So this hat, I mean, all of these hats have 123 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: special meetings, but this one to win those the first 124 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: one back to back was something else. And I remember 125 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: that day beating Miami doing our Chiefs rewind show and 126 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: thinking this is really cool. 127 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 2: It's easy to look back at all this and to think, Okay, 128 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 2: we have nine in a row and the Super Bowls 129 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 2: and everything and think that it's been easy. But every 130 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 2: single one of these seasons had its own dose of 131 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 2: adversity of things that happened, and think about all the 132 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 2: different players that have come through. Here a trivia question 133 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 2: for you while we're talking about it. Do you know 134 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 2: the three guys that have been on every single one 135 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: of these. 136 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: Teams on all the sixteen, all the way back, all 137 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: nine teams. 138 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 2: All nine teams. Yeah, three guys. Chris Jones yep. Travis 139 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: Kelcey yep. This is a fun one. 140 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: The sixteen on the still in the team. It wasn't, 141 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: but he came in seventeen close to James Winchester. 142 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 2: James Winchester. So James Winchester, Yeah, James Winchester, Chris Jones 143 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 2: and Travis Kelcey have been a part of all of these, 144 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 2: but every other player has come and gone and it's 145 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 2: been a matter of sustaining the success. It's the hardest 146 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 2: thing to do. And speaking of that, when I was 147 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 2: walking down to the studio with all these hats, which 148 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 2: you look very ridiculous when you're carrying sixteen hats, I 149 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 2: guess who I ran into? Brett Veach is he Brett 150 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 2: And He's like, what are you carrying? And I'm like, 151 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 2: these are our sixteen championship hats over the last nine years. 152 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 2: And his expression was hilarious. He's like, oh cool. And 153 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 2: I looked at him and I was like, you're the 154 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 2: reason we have these, thank you. And he's like, but yeah, yeah, 155 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 2: just no big deal. Always looking forward to the next thing. 156 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: But yeah, just God of enjoy it, everybody. I mean, 157 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 2: how cool is this? I thought it was so awesome 158 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 2: when the Chiefs had one of these and that we 159 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 2: won the division and to have all these now, I 160 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 2: don't take it for granted. So nobody should you know? 161 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: Who else has all these? Who is my dad? He's 162 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: got one, but he likes to put on Now, he's 163 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: gonna get the canw I gotta get him the new one. 164 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: But he'll put on the side eight consecutive, seven consecutives 165 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: six awesome. So he's gonna put nine consecutive on it. 166 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: Where's it around my ninety two year old dad? So 167 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: he can't wait to get the new division championship hat 168 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: and put nine consecutive on it. 169 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 2: So it's right here, that's what it is. 170 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: We're going to get it to you as you have 171 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: it for the holidays and for Christmas. But I feel 172 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: like Coach Reid would be over my shoulder and you 173 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: just said that, Hey, Brett Veach is looking on moving 174 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: on to the next thing, and the next thing is 175 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: to check the box. That's the theme of this episode 176 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: of Defending the Kingdom checked check the next box. And 177 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: by the way, in just a few minutes, we are 178 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: going to hear from the Chiefs All Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie. 179 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: He gives us some really interesting perspective, not just on 180 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: all this, but where the Chiefs are right now with 181 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: this defense, especially going into a game against the Cleveland Browns, 182 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: which have been one of the most explosive offensive teams, 183 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 1: even defensively in some ways, but offensively one of the 184 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: more explosive teams in the NFL over the past five 185 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: to six weeks. So we're going to hear from Deuce 186 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: Deuce here very shortly. But before we do all that, 187 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: we are moving on try to check the next box, 188 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: which is get the buy in the AFC twenty twenty 189 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: one changed everything we've said it all along. When twenty 190 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 1: twenty one happened, they said seven teams will be in 191 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 1: the playoffs. That means one team will get a bye, 192 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: not two one, and that has made every game feel 193 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 1: like a playoff game since the beginning of the twenty 194 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: twenty one season. But to get us in the right mood, 195 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 1: let's jump in our space station and travel around the 196 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: world with our nine consecutive AFC West titles. 197 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: And before we fully move on, kind of hit you 198 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 2: with one more division title trivia factoid. Yeah, so this 199 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 2: is kind of interesting. This is the earliest that we've 200 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 2: clinched the division during this run. And we've clinched it 201 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 2: during Week fourteen a couple times in twenty nineteen and 202 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 2: twenty twenty. But you just mentioned the onset of the 203 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 2: seventeenth game. So in twenty nineteen and twenty twenty clinched 204 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 2: it in Week fourteen. Both of those years only three 205 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 2: games were left in the regular season. To clench it 206 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 2: with four games left in the regular season is pretty crazy. 207 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 2: So in twenty sixteen took all the way into the 208 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 2: final week of the year. Twouse in seventeen was Week sixteen, 209 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: because in eighteen final week of the year I mentioned two. 210 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 2: In nineteen and twenty twenty, we're both in week fourteen. 211 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: Twenty twenty one was Week sixteen, twenty twenty two Week 212 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 2: fifteen with that crazy game against the Texans. Won't forget 213 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 2: that one twenty twenty three was the final, or was 214 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 2: Week seventeen and then last or this year is Week 215 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 2: fourteen with four games left, so pretty crazy. Normally these 216 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 2: things have come down to the wire. I don't know 217 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 2: if we remember it that way. Because you went all 218 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 2: these division titles in a row, you figure out we 219 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 2: probably just had it wrapped up in week twelve. Not 220 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 2: the case. It's usually gone down to the wire. This 221 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 2: year we do it with four games left, So that's 222 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 2: a big deal. Ready to go around the world. Let's go, 223 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 2: all right, I got six a box six today for 224 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 2: no particular reason. Maybe Brian Cook picking off Jameis Winston 225 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 2: this weekend. Yeah, yeah, that's my plan for a couple. 226 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: Pick sixes because our guests very soon, we're all predicting 227 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: we'll get his first interception. It'll be a pick six 228 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: this weekend. It's happening this Sunday. Yeah. 229 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 2: So I met Grant at the stadium on Sunday. I 230 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 2: was walking out of the elevator on the first floor. 231 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 2: He was walking into the elevator and flagged me down. 232 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 2: Thanks for saying hi, Grant. I'm sure I'll see you again. 233 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 2: I can figure out where you're from. I also met 234 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 2: Taylor and his daughter Ava from Gerard, Illinois at the game. 235 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 2: You ever been there? 236 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 1: Never have? 237 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 2: Okay? Well, they were on the front row, near the 238 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 2: end zone and near the tunnel, so they probably had 239 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 2: a great view of that final third down conversion, which 240 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 2: was awesome. By the way, We should talk about that later. 241 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 2: Grandma Penny is in Windsor, Missouri. Have you ever been 242 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 2: to Windsor? 243 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: I have not, but I want to someday. Well, I'll 244 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: be there, Okay, I'm always coming to your house in Windsor. 245 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 2: We have a listener in Colorado. We have a listener 246 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 2: who wrote that their mom was from West Mineral, Kansas. 247 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: West Mineral Southeast Kansas. Yeah, small town, trying to think 248 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: Cherokee County, maybe right in there. Okay, so yeah, West Mineral. 249 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: Let's there's all these mines and stuff down there. You've 250 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: been to Big Brutus, yo. Yeah. When I was a kid, 251 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: we went to see Big Brutus. 252 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 2: I have thought about Big Brutish in a long time. 253 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: That's the area. What's in those mines? 254 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 2: Uh? And then George is in South Florida. Shout out 255 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 2: to you, George. That's all I've got for today. 256 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: Perfect, Well, this week the Chiefs. The next step is 257 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: try to check the next box, which is try to 258 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: win the AFC single buy that's available. We know what 259 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: it means. Last year did not win the bye, but 260 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: there was a pseudo buy with the fact that guys 261 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: could rest during Week eighteen. We saw what it meant 262 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. You remember the game against the Raiders. 263 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: When I walked on the field, I had tears in 264 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: my eyes because we're getting ready to do field pass. 265 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: But I knew what that game meant if we could 266 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: win that game and seal the buy because it gave 267 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: First of all, half the field gets eliminated while you watch, 268 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: but secondly you get this recharge. And I think right 269 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: now for this team, this specific twenty twenty four Chiefs team, 270 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: because they have played most of them, a lot of 271 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: them seven years and six six in five, five and four. 272 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: We're going to have our guest on soon. Trent McDuffie. 273 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: He's played seven extra games in his career in his 274 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: first two NFL seasons. You think of Pat playing eighteen games, 275 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: Travis Kelce playing ten thousand, almost eight hundred snaps in 276 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,079 Speaker 1: this run. A buy would be humongous for this team one, 277 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: Mental rest, physical res too. Three would almost be like 278 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: another training camp because you're gonna get some troops back 279 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: and further integrate guys that weren't in training camp, like 280 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: the Sama JP Ryans and the DeAndre Hopkins. 281 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 2: You know what I will never forget about you is 282 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two, that Raiders game you're talking about, 283 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 2: I was in the booth with you because I was 284 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 2: spotting you know that Jack Nicholson meme where he's just 285 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 2: smiling and like, yeah, since going closer to his face. 286 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 2: So right when the Chiefs won that game, Mitch and 287 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 2: I are kind of getting our stuff ready and then 288 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 2: he looks at me with that expression goes, We've got 289 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 2: a chance at the whole enchilada and starts not in 290 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:51,599 Speaker 2: his head, And what do you know? He won the 291 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 2: super Bowl that year and the following year as well. Yeah, 292 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 2: I'm with you. Only thirteen teams have ever won the 293 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 2: Super Bowl playing four games. Think about that. So if 294 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 2: you play on wild Card weekend, your chances of winning 295 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl are low just because you have to 296 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 2: go through a whole other game against a good team. 297 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 2: You have the risk of injury. All this stuff, the 298 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 2: Chiefs are one of those teams doing it last year. 299 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 2: But it's difficult. I mean, I don't think any of 300 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 2: us look at last year's Super Bowl run and think, wow, 301 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 2: that was easy. I mean it was one of the 302 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 2: toughest runs of all time. The Chiefs accomplished it, but 303 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 2: it doesn't mean the road has to be that difficult 304 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 2: this year. So yeah, getting the buy is a huge deal. 305 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 2: Situation is very simple. If we win three o our 306 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 2: next four, no matter what else happens, we get that buy. 307 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: Now there's a possibility we could have it before the 308 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 2: Christmas Game if we get some help. So if the 309 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 2: Bills lose once and the Steelers lose once, only need 310 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 2: to win two of four. That means beat Cleveland, beat Houston, 311 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 2: don't have to worry about the final two weeks of 312 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 2: the season. And it's possible. I mean, the Bill's good 313 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 2: at Detroit this weekend and the Steelers play at Philadelphia 314 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 2: this Sunday and then at Baltimore next week, So the 315 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 2: possibility is there. But we got to take care of 316 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 2: our own business. And I think Kachrie would be the 317 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 2: first to say doesn't really matter when any one else does. 318 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 2: If we just win three or four. We get that 319 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 2: by so let's just do that and. 320 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: You got to take what's in front of you. It 321 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: is the maturity that I've seen in this football team 322 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: for the last several years. It's for sure since the 323 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: beginning of twenty twenty two. And it is the hallmark 324 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty two draft class that you and 325 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: I have talked about for years. So mature mentally and emotionally. 326 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: They will take what's right in front of them and 327 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: deal with it with the immediacy and do it very well. 328 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: Exhibit A. And ironically number twenty two from the class 329 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: of twenty two is the Chiefs All Pro corner Trent McDuffie. 330 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: We had a chance to talk to him.

You know, the locker room, 340 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 3: the group of guys that continue to just come in 341 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 3: each week and strive to get better, you know, and 342 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 3: when we go out to these games, we have a 343 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 3: standard that we've set being back to back champions, and 344 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 3: a lot of times we haven't lived up to it. 345 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 3: So coming out of these games, you know, even though 346 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 3: we're winning and we're twelve and one, like, it hasn't 347 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 3: been the best feeling. 348 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: You know. 349 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 3: It's always been like dang, Like we didn't hit that 350 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 3: mark exactly like we wanted. We didn't play exactly how 351 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 3: we wanted it, and that kind of fuels you. You know, 352 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 3: it kind of feels you going into the next week 353 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 3: like Okay, yeah we won that, but let's do better. 354 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 3: Like that's always a mindset I feel like coming into 355 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 3: work is how are we going to get better? 356 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 4: How are we gonna get better? How are we going 357 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 4: to get better? 358 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 3: And that mentality is kind of just continue to allow 359 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 3: us to propel through these tight games. You know, when 360 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 3: Pat Mahome is to go down the last drive last 361 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 3: week and kill four and a half minutes off the 362 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 3: clock and win the game with the kick, like we 363 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 3: won in ways that I've never seen block punts. I mean, 364 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 3: walk off punt, like and the game crazy plays like 365 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,360 Speaker 3: you can't make it up. But each and every week, 366 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 3: guys come in and no one's hanging their head down, 367 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 3: no one's talking back to each other. It's just all 368 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 3: love and all like, let's just continue to get better. 369 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 4: And I love that. 370 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 2: So seven of our twelve wins this year have been 371 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 2: kind of in a walk off fashion. Yeah, I'm counting 372 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 2: the Raiders win as a walk off, even though there 373 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 2: was a few seconds left. It basically was yep, what's 374 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 2: your favorite of the walk off wins this year? 375 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 3: If you Leo's block, Yeah, that was like to this. 376 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 3: I mean people ask me like, oh, how was it. 377 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 3: I was on the sideline and he blocked it, and 378 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 3: I think I stood there for like twenty seconds and 379 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 3: just didn't move. 380 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 4: I was just like looking around like everybody celebrated. I'm like, 381 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 4: did this just happen? 382 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 3: Like it didn't hit me, And when it finally did, 383 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 3: I was just like wow, Like that's a lot to say. 384 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 3: I mean, you block a punt or a block of 385 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 3: field goal to win the game, something good on your side. 386 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 2: I was just looking for flags. I was like, surely 387 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:55,719 Speaker 2: that isn't how I was gonna end. 388 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 3: Like I heard the crowd, I didn't even want to watch. 389 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 3: I heard the crowd erupt like I saw to play, 390 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 3: and I'm just like, there's no way I'm never seeing 391 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 3: a team win in this fashion. And man, shout out 392 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 3: them boys. I mean, that's just playing four quarters, tough, hard, 393 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 3: and never quitting. 394 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: I've told Matt this before. My favorite sound in football 395 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: is that thud of a block kick. And to get 396 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: it to be walk off was you know that sound 397 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: that wolf irreplaceable. There are guys that have played in 398 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: this league their whole career, Pro Football Hall of famers 399 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 1: that never won a playoff game. DJ Humphreys is on 400 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: this team now. He's played in one. D Hop has 401 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: won two and they're both wildcard. You're part of one 402 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: of the favorite classes I have of all time, the 403 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: twenty two draft class that are seven and zero in 404 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: the playoffs. And I said, as a precursor, because it 405 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: doesn't seem like there's any panic on either offense or 406 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: defense in any situation. Why is that? And is that 407 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: the case? Yeah? 408 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, honestly, that is the case. 409 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 3: I think goes back to just the game that we've 410 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 3: been in, you know, going back to two three years ago, 411 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 3: even before I was here, Like, guys have been in 412 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 3: these situations before, and one thing that we've done is 413 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 3: learn from it. You know, we know what to expect, 414 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 3: We know how teams are gonna try to come at 415 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 3: us and attack us. And when you have that kind 416 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 3: of mindset and knowledge of what's gonna come at you 417 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 3: in those situations, it gives you confidence and you know 418 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 3: that you don't have to stress, you don't have to 419 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 3: do anything out of the ordinary, like you can just 420 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 3: do you play the call and you should be good. 421 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 3: And man, since I've been here, just knowing who we 422 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 3: have at quarterback on the defense perspective. 423 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 4: Like why do I ever have to be nervous? 424 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 3: You know, like if we hold you to a field goal, 425 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 3: to be honest, like, man, y'all might have just lost 426 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 3: the game. Because I've seen Patrick Mahomes before I was 427 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 3: a Chief. While I was a Chief walk down that 428 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 3: field on multiple occasions bail the defense out and win games. 429 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 3: So when those situations come about, like the attitude around 430 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 3: the defense is just like get this ball back to patchrimme. 431 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 2: My favorite part of that, though, is when you mentioned 432 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 2: like the offense the defense bailing each other out. Yeah, 433 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 2: last week at the end, you guys worked in tandem 434 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 2: where the defense held the Chargers to a field goal 435 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 2: at the end, giving Patrick an opportunity to set up 436 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 2: the game winning field goal on our end. When you 437 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 2: have a game that ends like that against a divisional opponent, 438 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 2: a really good one that wins the division, what's the 439 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 2: feeling like in the locker room, knowing like we just 440 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 2: beat a really good team and it was a full 441 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 2: team effort. 442 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,479 Speaker 4: Man, the energy was high, you know. 443 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,479 Speaker 3: That was that was one of my favorite wins this 444 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 3: year because there's a lot of hugs. 445 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: You know. 446 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 3: It was a hat T shirt game, of course, but 447 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 3: just a genuine energy and the love that we shared 448 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 3: with each other during that moment was special for me, 449 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 3: you know. 450 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 4: And I've been, of course part of a lot of special. 451 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 3: Moments, but I think this is one of those games 452 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 3: I'm gonna remember, just because a lot of things happened, 453 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 3: like different dbs had to come to the game, different 454 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 3: receivers had to go in the game, Like we had 455 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 3: to stop I mean, we shut them out in the 456 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 3: first half. Second half, things fell apart. Offense came and 457 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 3: helped us out. Like so many things are happening, and 458 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 3: to come out and win the game like we did 459 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 3: and just be confident, everybody smiling and being like okay, 460 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 3: like we stamp that, like that's the first block that 461 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 3: we had to do. 462 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 4: Now we continue to stack more. It was just a 463 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 4: great feeling. 464 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: That'd being sad. I want to ask you now, because 465 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: after that first half, it was like, all right, that's 466 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 1: the twenty three chiefs stefense ye, but now to put 467 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: four quarters together? And I asked that under a precursor. 468 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: You're playing now a team that has the ability to 469 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: attack the deep third, especially Jerry Judy. I mean, he's 470 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: having a heck of a year. So how do you 471 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: get four quarters, protect the deep third and stay away 472 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: from the explosive deep play, especially to Judy. 473 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 3: Yep, Honestly, I think it comes back to practice, you know. 474 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 3: Big shout out to Carson Wentz. I think I I'm 475 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 3: a huge fan of what he's been able to do 476 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 3: for us this year. Man, during practice he makes all 477 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 3: throws like there's been games where I'm like, man, Carson Wentz, 478 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 3: the Loki like was a lot harder in practice than 479 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 3: it has been in the game, just based on the 480 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 3: athlete that he is, but yeah, putting together a great 481 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,239 Speaker 3: week of practice where we know Carson's gonna give us 482 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 3: balls that James would probably give us, working on the 483 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 3: deep shots, and just going back to the fundamentals of football. 484 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 3: You know, I think December is a great time where 485 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 3: you can only just hone in on the little techniques 486 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 3: that playing the long season and you're hurting stuff kind 487 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 3: of can slip away with your tackling or just certain 488 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 3: things like that. Being able to just come back and 489 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 3: just play fundamental football and simplifying the things and saying, okay, 490 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 3: as long as we do this, do your job, like, 491 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 3: go out. 492 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 2: There and we'll be fine. I think it's the biggest 493 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 2: thing we can do. And on behalf of all of us. 494 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 2: Can you make sure Spag sends you on at least 495 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 2: two or three Sunday. You're the best blitzing corner in 496 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 2: the NFL. 497 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 4: I loved it. I always tell j Reid. 498 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 3: I laugh all the time, Like when I blitz from 499 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 3: a quarterback's perspective. Every time they see me, like usually 500 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 3: they don't realize I'm coming, so it's always like a 501 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 3: big shock, you know, I see their eyes light up. 502 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 4: But like when I'm blitzing. I have the biggest smile. 503 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 3: As I'm running, like the biggest smile, and like I've 504 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 3: always wanted to get that picture, Like how crazy you 505 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 3: do I look chasing you. 506 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 4: Just smiling like crazy. 507 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 2: Man. 508 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I joke with j Read all the time, like 509 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 3: you will know I'm blitzing because I'm just cheese and 510 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 3: like I'm so excited. 511 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 2: I want to see you smiling. And then Jamis squinting 512 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 2: at you. The a dB coming at me right now. 513 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 2: That's all I love it. 514 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: We don't have Super Bowl rings without your blootz. Man, 515 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: I've been super Bowl fifty eight. It's the most maybe 516 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 1: the most forgotten play that game. 517 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, that's one of those plays looking back now, 518 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 3: probably my favorite play of my career because the moment, 519 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 3: the timing, the fact that he called the blitz there, 520 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 3: Like people don't realize we called a time out before, 521 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 3: changed the whole defense because Nick Bolton wanted to call 522 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,719 Speaker 3: that play and just how things went about, you know, 523 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 3: and during that year, coach Bags was always talking about 524 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 3: get your hands up, get your hands up like their space, 525 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 3: get your hands up. Never know you can knock it down, 526 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 3: and those one of those moments where just quick reaction 527 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 3: like he was in the back of my head. Throw 528 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 3: your hands up, Trent, You're not gonna You're not gonna tackle. 529 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,239 Speaker 3: Just throw your hands up, try to do anything you can. 530 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 3: And we blocked the ball. And yeah, that was just 531 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 3: a confidence boost for me. Like okay, like you here, 532 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 3: you reacted and you went out. 533 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 1: And execute it. 534 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 2: Think about the legendary things that happened after that, like 535 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 2: Pat hit and Kelsey for the big game. Instead of 536 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 2: the field goal, obviously, the game winning drive, the fourth 537 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 2: thousand Nicoles catch, none of that happens if you don't 538 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 2: knock that ball down. We're just counting on Moody to 539 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 2: miss the kick basically, if you don't knock that ball down. 540 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 2: So thanks for doing that. 541 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: I got y'all always, I thank you my whole fan 542 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: the Old Kingdom. And you bet final question is getting 543 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: the swag back? Getting the swag back? Yeah, because let's 544 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: just be honest. Ten giveaways, But how does this defense 545 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: get it swagged back? Starting this week with Cleveland? 546 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I think it is one. I 547 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 3: think it's turnovers, You know what I mean. I think 548 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 3: we've gone a few weeks where we having a turnovers 549 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 3: and turnovers is huge. You know, it's a momentum thing. 550 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 3: But also I think guys just need to let loose 551 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 3: and have fun, like I think we're doing being so 552 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 3: dominant in that first charge is half after every play, 553 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 3: there's energy. You guys are hype, Guys are having fun. 554 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 3: Guys were running over to each other across the sideline 555 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 3: and shout out Nico Roumisio, you know, first time playing 556 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 3: getting some punts and even if it was five yards 557 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 3: or ten yards, he was getting up turnt and the 558 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 3: whole sideline was jumping on him and all this. Like 559 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 3: when we're at a best I can just see the 560 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 3: energy of the team. 561 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 4: It's infectious. 562 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: You know. 563 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 3: We go out there as one and we're just a 564 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 3: whole unit, so not worrying so much about like the score, 565 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 3: but just worrying about just being us and having fun 566 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 3: doing it. I think, is it gonna be the best 567 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 3: best way we can get our swag back, because the 568 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 3: swag is just us being dogs out there and just 569 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 3: flying around having fun. 570 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: Aren't you glad he's on our side? Yeah? 571 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 4: Sure? 572 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: All Pro, First Team, All Pro corner Trent McDuffie. There's 573 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: a lot of guys on this team. Just like I 574 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: said at the end of the interview, I'm really glad 575 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: they're on our side, aren't you really glad Trent McDuffie 576 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: is on our team. 577 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 2: I've told the story so many times, but we do 578 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 2: our live stream for the first round of the draft 579 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 2: every year and I make all these notes and one 580 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 2: shooters and guys that we could potentially take and back 581 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 2: into the twenty two. He's the very last one shooter 582 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 2: I made, and that was just because I had time 583 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 2: to kill because there was no way we were getting him. 584 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 2: He was going to be a top fifteen pick. There's 585 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:10,919 Speaker 2: no way Trent McDuffie falls all the way to us. 586 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 2: And what do you know, Trent McDuffie's a Chief. He's 587 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 2: a two time Super Bowl champion and going for a 588 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 2: third this year. That whole draft class was transcendent. I mean, 589 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 2: who knows what happens if we don't get those players 590 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 2: in that draft, But it's pretty cool when you're thinking 591 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,199 Speaker 2: about the story of the Chiefs in this dynasty, that 592 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 2: draft class is right in the middle of it. 593 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: Sure are seven to zero in the playoffs those guys 594 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: collectively and McDuffie, strangely looking for his first interception. Why 595 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: do I feel how he'll get it this week and 596 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: it may be a pick six. With all due respect 597 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 1: to Jamis Winston, who has made this game dangerous for 598 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. He has fourteen career pick sixes. Fourteen career 599 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: pick sixes, so we saw it kind of the epitome 600 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,199 Speaker 1: was the game against Denver where he threw for nearly 601 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 1: five hundred yards and yet there were two pick sixes 602 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: in that game. But let's just talk about where Cleveland 603 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: is dangerous and the Chiefs to check the next box 604 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 1: to try to get to the by. And you laid 605 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 1: it out with the scenario the Chiefs, if they can 606 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 1: win these next two games and if there's one more 607 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: loss for the Bills and the Steelers, the Chiefs could 608 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: go to a Christmas Day game in Pittsburgh in a 609 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 1: short week with the bye. That would be the choice 610 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: I think of most Kingdom defenders. But let's just get 611 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: into where Cleveland is dangerous, and we talked about it 612 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: with Trent that is the back third. Jerry Judy is 613 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: having a heck of a two months here. Ever since 614 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: Jameis Winston became quarterback, they have become outstanding of the 615 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 1: top fifty pass catchers in the league in twenty twenty four, 616 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: his yards per catch is the best in the league. 617 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 1: He and if you look at even next gen stats, 618 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 1: there are several categories where there are three guys that 619 00:27:54,920 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 1: are listed justin Jefferson King, Jamar Chase Ding and Jerry 620 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 1: Jerry Judy and Jamar Chase. So the only two players 621 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: in the league that have two seventy yard touchdowns. That's it. 622 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:12,640 Speaker 1: Jerry Judy is super dangerous, especially with Jamis Winston at quarterback. 623 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 2: When looking at the Browns you probably kind of dealt 624 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 2: with this too. It's they're a difficult like study because 625 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 2: everything before week eight is totally different than week eight 626 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 2: to now, because the difference between Deshaun Watson and Jamis 627 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 2: Winston in terms of how the offense is operated is gigantic. 628 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 2: So since week eight, and you talked about this a 629 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 2: little bit already, they've piled up more than four hundred 630 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 2: yards of offense three times. They had five hundred and 631 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 2: fifty two total yards against the Broncos and that crazy 632 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 2: game that Denver ended up winning. They're averaging three hundred 633 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 2: and eighty two yards per game since Week eight. That's 634 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 2: third best in the NFL, and Judy since Week eight 635 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 2: has six hundred and seventy eight receiving yards, second to 636 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 2: only Jamar Chase in the league. Now he had two 637 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty five against Denver. That'll certainly help, but 638 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 2: Dill he has been really, really good since Winston took over. 639 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 2: The odd thing, though, is they're nineteenth in the league 640 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 2: in scoring in that time and the reason is turnovers. 641 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 2: They're very up and down because of the turnovers. They 642 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 2: have thirteen turnovers since Jamis took over, most in the NFL, 643 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 2: and they have at least three turnovers and four of 644 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 2: his six games. So the key with the Browns is 645 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 2: they are going to fire the football. They're going to 646 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 2: throw it downfield. They throw it the second most of 647 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 2: any team in the league since Week eight, forty three 648 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 2: times per game. Only the Bengals have more. But they're 649 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 2: going to give you opportunities to turn them over. That's 650 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 2: just kind of the game that they play. And the 651 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 2: Chiefs defense doesn't have a lot of takeaways this year, 652 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 2: so it's good opportunity going against an offense that is 653 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 2: going to throw the ball a lot, maybe make some 654 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 2: contested throws, take the football away let's get out of 655 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 2: Cleveland with a win. 656 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: Chiefs only ten takeaways. It's really kind of mysterious because 657 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: you look at who's the only three teams below them, 658 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: the Raiders, Jets, and Giants that have fewer takeaways. So 659 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: it'd be nice to get some in this game. But 660 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: let me tell you where else this team is dangerous. 661 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: They have gone for it on fourth down thirty four times, 662 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: six more than the next closest team. Why do I 663 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: say it's dangerous because they've converted twenty three of those 664 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: thirty four fourth down attempts. Those attempts aren't necessarily Nick 665 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: Chubb plunges into the line, they're the throws that you're 666 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: talking about. The Chiefs defense has to come into this 667 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: game looking for takeaways, but also thinking you're going to 668 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: have to defend the deep third of the field more 669 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: than any team maybe we played this season, and you're 670 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: going to have to play four down defense the entire day. 671 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: That's the way that you're going to have to have 672 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: the mentality coming into this game, because that's the way 673 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: Cleveland will come in with guns blazing in that regard. 674 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 2: In Cleveland's three and ten, but they have a much 675 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 2: different vibe around them than a three and ten team 676 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 2: because of Jamis. So look at their wins this year. 677 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 2: They beat the Ravens in Week eight with Winston, beat 678 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 2: the Steelers in week twelve, and that Snokelae game, nearly 679 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 2: beat the Broncos in the game we talked about, and almost, 680 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 2: I mean they were with the Steelers until the very 681 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 2: end last week. So they're three to ten, but with Winston, 682 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 2: they don't give up and they just keep firing. They 683 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 2: technically are eliminated from playoff contention now after losing to 684 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 2: the Steelers last week. They got nothing to lose, and Winston, 685 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 2: as far as he's concerned, is trying to show that 686 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 2: he could be a starter in the NFL. So this 687 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 2: is a game for the Chiefs. You got to be 688 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 2: ready for now. I'm glad that we won last week 689 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 2: against the Chargers because things would have gotten really weird 690 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 2: with all the scenarios and permutations of the division and 691 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 2: the one seed and all that if we'd lost that game. 692 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 2: For the Chiefs, go into this game, play loose, you 693 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 2: won the division, Go take care of business against a 694 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 2: feisty team. But you can't overlook these guys because of 695 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 2: their record. And the good news with our guys is 696 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 2: I don't think they will. I think this is a 697 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 2: locker room that is focused on the task at hand, 698 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 2: and they know the importance of the one seed and 699 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 2: they know the Buffalo's right there, So keep taking care 700 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 2: of business. Every single week. The biggest game of the 701 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 2: season is this week's game. That's the mental every single week. 702 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 2: And this week it's Cleveland. 703 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: Not only is Buffalo right there, so is Pittsburgh. Yeah, 704 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: sneakily so here they are they Yep, here comes Mike 705 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: Tomlin once again. Another area well more, Jameis Winston. He 706 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: is fourth best in the NFL in past rating of 707 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: twenty one plus air yards. It's one twelve point one. 708 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: Those are passes at twenty one plus yards. So the 709 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: deep third is huge priority this week. Now let's go 710 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: to the other side. Let me tell you another steaky 711 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: snat steaky sneaky stat that I look for that goes beyeah, 712 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: that goes beyond the obvious ones. We talk about the 713 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: twenty one giveaways. Right, there's only think two three teams 714 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: that have more giveaways than the Browns. But but, but, 715 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: but this is where they're dangerous. In those twenty one giveaways. 716 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: They have only given up fifty four giveaway points. That's unusual. 717 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: So this defense, although they've given up big plays, is 718 00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: a defense capable of taking a game or keeping a 719 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: game within striking distance where then they can get big plays. 720 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: Just like the games. You talked about snow Globe play 721 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: being one of them, so snow Globe game being one 722 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: of them. But and then Miles Garrett. We know about 723 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: him the fact that he is tied for second in 724 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: the NFL with eleven sacks another place where their dangerous Defensively, 725 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: They've only given up seven points this year on first 726 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: possessions of the opponent. That's thirteen games, seven points in 727 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 1: thirteen opportunities for the opposing team to score in the 728 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: first possession. All of that tells me that this is 729 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: a dangerous team on both sides of. 730 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 2: The ball, and Miles Garrett is the key talking about 731 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 2: him fifty eight pressures this year as well, that's fifth 732 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 2: most in the NFL. The Browns have the top pressure 733 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 2: rate of any team in the league at twenty seven 734 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 2: point seven percent. We're shooting this on Tuesday. Not sure 735 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 2: who the left tackle is going to be in this 736 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 2: game for us, but you got to protect against these guys. Honestly, 737 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 2: in a lot of ways, I think the quick passing 738 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 2: game that we showed at the end into the first 739 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 2: half and through the second half against the Chargers last 740 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 2: week could be a good formula in this game. Don't 741 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 2: allow the Browns to direct the game plan with their 742 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 2: pass rush. Kind Of an interesting ying and yang thing 743 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 2: though in this game that I found is the Browns 744 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 2: have allowed fifty two runs of ten or more yards, 745 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 2: that's fourth most in the NFL, and on those the 746 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 2: average distance is nineteen yards. But they've also forced a 747 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 2: league best seventy one negative runs. So they're kind of 748 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,479 Speaker 2: like a boom or bus defense where they're gonna get sacks, 749 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,439 Speaker 2: they're gonna get negative plays, but then you can also 750 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,280 Speaker 2: break off big plays against these guys. They've allowed sixty 751 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 2: four total plays of twenty or more yards, second most 752 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 2: of any team in the NFL. They've also allowed seven 753 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 2: scoring drives of four or fewer plays, third most in 754 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 2: the league. So Cleveland is interesting. They're talented, they have 755 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 2: good players, they can force negative plays, negative runs, they 756 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 2: can sack the quarterback, and they have a great pressure rate. 757 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 2: But you can also get these guys for big plays 758 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 2: as well. So for the Chiefs in this game, we'll 759 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 2: love to see the explosive passing game, maybe get going. 760 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes has talked about how he feels like it's 761 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 2: this close weekend and week out. Could be a good 762 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 2: opportunity for that. And also Kareem Hunt returning back to Cleveland. 763 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 2: Maybe a few big runs for Kareem. 764 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: The other thing, Cleveland has the most offensive possessions in 765 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: the league. They have one hundred and fifty three offensive possessions. 766 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,359 Speaker 1: It's weird. There's a lot of stuff here to try 767 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 1: to take in with the Cleveland Browns, but just know this, 768 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 1: they're a dangerous opponent. But you have heard from Trent McDuffie. 769 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 1: Take the ball away. Those are big. That's the reason 770 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: they're three and ten. We just laid all that out. 771 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 1: But Matt, the Chiefs try to take care of business 772 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: in this game. It'll be tougher than I think fans think, 773 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 1: but for the Chiefs, it's a chance for the next 774 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 1: step to check the next box.
