00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: passing over time And Hi everyone, I'm Mitchelt's voice of

15
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, along with senior team reporter Matt McMullen,

16
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: fresh off his trip to the Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana.

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: And before we do anything, before we jump into this

18
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: remarkable sixty fourth team of franchise history, a team that

19
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: set NFL history in many ways, we do want to

20
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: remember those who are still hurting the loss of life,

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: the Galvian family that lost Lisa in the episode that

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: happened after the parade, in the shootings, those who are

23
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: still recovering, the families who were involved, Our thoughts and

24
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: prayers are with you all in the Chief Kingdom. It

25
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: was a surreal moment, but our hearts are empathetic and

26
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: sympathetic to those who had loss, and we don't want

27
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: to move on without acknowledging.

28
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: That just so tragically sad. I mean, what can you

29
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: say about it? Just horribly, horribly sad. But no surprise,

30
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: Kansas City, Chiefs Kingdom. Everyone in this community has rallied

31
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: around that family and rallied around what happened, and that's

32
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: all you can do in times like this is healed together,

33
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: right yep.

34
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: And a special reach out to a community of the

35
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: Chiefs Kingdom and saw, you know, the folks from Tico

36
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: Productions when we had the revealing the reimagining of Gha

37
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: Field at or Ahead Stadium and saw many of them

38
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: and of course that gets that got very close to them.

39
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, hearts out to those folks. But we want

40
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: to have this episode to talk about one of the warm,

41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: remarkable teams, not just in franchise history, but in National

42
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: Football League history, because what the twenty twenty three Chiefs

43
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: did during the regular season and then in the twenty

44
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,839
Speaker 1: twenty fourth calendar year to start to win Super Bowl

45
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 1: fifty eight is something that will be talked about forever

46
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: in many ways. But this is a remarkable team, and

47
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: you've got the Super Bowl hats at in your hat collection.

48
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: So had to right. Yeah, I mean, we're going to

49
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: talk all about this team. It's funny because this time

50
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: of year, Mitch said, I just got back from the combine,

51
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: it's all about selling hope to the other thirty one franchises.

52
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 2: It's all about who are we going to draft, how

53
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: are we going to get to the Super Bowl the

54
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: next year. Yeah, we're going to talk about the draft

55
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: over the next several months. We're going to talk about

56
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: how this team will look in twenty twenty four. But

57
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: the whole point of playing football is to win the

58
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, and the Chiefs just won the Super Bowl

59
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: for a second straight year. We're living in the good

60
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: old days right now. And I have a whole bunch

61
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 2: of numbers we'll dive into later about just how special

62
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: this particular run is. But technically the team has to

63
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 2: turn the page. Brett Beach, coach read, they have a

64
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: lot of work to do to work on next year's team,

65
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: but we don't have to turn the page just yet.

66
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: We're going to celebrate this one for a while.

67
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: Let me give you some and this is I said four.

68
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: Ever think of the number four here, all right? You

69
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: mentioned Andy Reid, the fourth winning is coach in National

70
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: Football League history. This was the fourth Super Bowl championship

71
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: for the Kansas City Chiefs franchise. They came from behind

72
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: four times in Super Bowl fifty eight. That was an

73
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: NFL record. Only four teams have more Super Bowl titles

74
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: now than the Chiefs. They are the fourth team in

75
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: NFL history to win a suit Super Bowl with a

76
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: six loss regular season. This was the fourth title. As

77
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: I mentioned, that's more than any of the other the

78
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: four teams in the AFC West. The Chiefs are number

79
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: one now and the other three are lagging behind. Harrison

80
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: Bucker remarkable ties and all time Super Bowl record with

81
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: four made field goals. Number four Rashie Rice has one

82
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety six yards after the catch in the

83
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: NFL postseason That set an all time NFL rookie postseason record.

84
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: And you alluded to it back to back victories, and

85
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: I mention it at the end of the broadcast of

86
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,119
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty eight. The first time that a team

87
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: has won back to back championships in the Super Bowl

88
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: in six nine hundred and forty four days. This is

89
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: a team that will be remembered four ever. But I

90
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: know you're going to go around the world.

91
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll go around the world. I have another four

92
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: for you that I can't take credit for. It was

93
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: Kelsey ten and our social department, one of our social

94
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 2: media people. She mentioned it to us. This is hilarious.

95
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 2: So we have now won the Super Bowl four years

96
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 2: apart in leap years. So it's twenty twenty four right now.

97
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: I know technically it's a twenty twenty three season, but

98
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four as a leap year. We're actually filming

99
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,239
Speaker 2: this on February twenty ninth. We also won the Super

100
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 2: Bowl in twenty nineteen slash twenty twenty in the February

101
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty was I guess a leap year. So

102
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: Kelsey coming up with the super advanced analytics we were

103
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: waiting for the.

104
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: Last two leap years. We've won Super Bowls.

105
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: When people are celebrating February twenty ninth, the Chiefs are

106
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: world champions. I also have four around the worlds for you.

107
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: We got a lot of submissions and we have all

108
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: off season. I'll get to everybody, I promise, but I

109
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: have four for you right now. So I went to

110
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: the driving range the other day. I'm not a big golfer,

111
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: but Ellie wanted to go. So we went to the

112
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: driving range and I met Jeremy at the like golf bar,

113
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 2: and Jeremy came up and said, Hi, So shout out

114
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: to you, Jeremy, thanks for listening. I was at your

115
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 2: stomping grounds. Hi v recently doing some ry shopping and

116
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 2: I met Chase. Chase came up and said, Hi, shout

117
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 2: out to you. Chase.

118
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: You can't go anywhere anymore. I mean you just it's

119
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: got to drive ally crazy that you just can't go

120
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: anywhere without getting stopped and like that.

121
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: That is your life right there. Because we were talking

122
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: about how Mitch wants to go to the combine at

123
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: some point, and I was like, I mean, we can go,

124
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: but you're going to be sucked into the vortex of

125
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: every single media outlet wants to talk to the voice

126
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 2: of the Chiefs. We need to go next year, though,

127
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 2: I think you'd enjoy it. I want to go two more.

128
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 2: Shout out to Mario, Carla, Gustavo, and Vicente, all part

129
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 2: of the same family from Riverside, California. Thank you for listening.

130
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 2: And then shout out to William from Albia, Iowa. Ever

131
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 2: been to Albia, Iowa. I'm probably not fancing that.

132
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: And I'm still stung by not knowing where was it Seymour,

133
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: Missouri or whatever.

134
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: I'm still I have some good news for you. I

135
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 2: did some research, so a lot of our listeners let

136
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: us know where Seymour is. Okay, they were nice to you.

137
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: You know that was coming, that was coming. You were

138
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 2: laying in bed at night thinking, I.

139
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: Can't believe I think it's Seymour, Indiana home with John

140
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: Cougar Mellencamp.

141
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: So Seymour is just east of Springfield, not far at

142
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: all from Springfield. It is the home of the Seymour Tigers.

143
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 2: Add that to the data bank.

144
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: Okay, there's a lot of tigers in Missouri, as you

145
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: might guess. Yeah, a lot of tigers, almost too many.

146
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: I need to petition some of these schools to.

147
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,679
Speaker 2: You know, it's a different than it's a different logo,

148
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: though they didn't. You know how some high schools will

149
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: just use like missoos state's logo or logo. Yeah, like

150
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 2: it's a different logo. Give them credit for that. Also,

151
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: I realized.

152
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: That by the way, Patrick Mahomes High School uses the

153
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: case state logo.

154
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: You're kidding, No, I said, do he goes? I know,

155
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 2: I know that's funny. Yeah. We never followed up on

156
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: the trivia question we gave everyone during our first episode

157
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: in Vegas, where we asked who the switcheroo was the

158
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: Niner to the chiefs and the chiefs of the Niner.

159
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: We never answered that. We never did. We got a

160
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: lot of answers, and I mean people are probably wondering

161
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: it was Travarius Ward and Richie James. Travarius Ward, Richie James.

162
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: I think Jeric McKinnon was technically on the Niners, but

163
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: he didn't play because he was injured. Yeah, so if

164
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: you answered Jeric, you're not incorrect. But the answers we

165
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: were looking for.

166
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: But he didn't go to Middle Tennessee State. He went

167
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: to Georgia Southern. Yeah, and so the fact that both

168
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: of those guys Javarius Ward and Richie James Junior went

169
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: to Middle Tennessee State. This one makes it way too crazy.

170
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: Two Blue Raiders who were on opposite teams in Super

171
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: Bowl fifty four and then opposite teams in Super Bowl

172
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: fifty eight.

173
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and your Graham on a steam former faculty member

174
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: at Middle Tennessee State. So in this episode we're going

175
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: to look back and separate and just talk. We're moving on,

176
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: but not in this episode you cannot move on without

177
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: understanding and going a deep dive into the twenty twenty

178
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: three Chiefs twenty twenty four playoffs. We're going to look

179
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: at four different areas not surprising about this team and

180
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: how it's truly remarkable and in many ways set apart

181
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: from any NFL team in history, especially in the Super

182
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: Bowl era. And the first is the dynamics of how

183
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: this kind of happened. And it talks about the infrastructure

184
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: or it is a example of the infrastructure of the

185
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: Chiefs Kingdom, but how it works on a three hundred

186
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: and sixty five day basis one of the things I

187
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: really liked about this past year. There was never talk

188
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 1: about back to back. Now we're not going to be

189
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: able to avoid it this next year because it'll be external.

190
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: It's never happened of going back to back to back,

191
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: that's another episode. But this year's team was united. That

192
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: was the battle cry, and it truly was when you

193
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: look at what happened. But this team was set up

194
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: to build a seaworthy ship for the Rocky Seas when

195
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: you look at what they did in getting Drew Tranquil

196
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: and Mike Edwards and Charles and Menehu adding later Mike

197
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: Panell on defense and then the offensive editions. Secondly was

198
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: the development of this remarkable second year group guys that

199
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: were in their second year. I mentioned this earlier, but

200
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: forty three and zero in the playoffs on defense of

201
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: the second year players, that's nuts and NFL history with

202
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: a sixty eight combined starts by first and second year players.

203
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: That's the most in NFL history, sixty eight combined starts

204
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: from first and second year players. You throw in the

205
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: offensive guys with the defensive guys at forty three and oh,

206
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: that's the forty three and oh is just the defensive guys.

207
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: You throw in offensive guys like Pacheco. It's fifty three

208
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: and oh of guys in their second year. This is

209
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: a team that played twenty one games, more than any

210
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: team in franchise history, and only the Cincinnati Bengals played

211
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: as many, and they didn't win the Super Bowl when

212
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: they had twenty one games in the twenty twenty one season.

213
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: And then, finally, one thing that's been overlooked. I haven't

214
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: heard of this discussed a lot was being eight and

215
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: two in true road games. They won eight true road

216
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: games a franchise history, and only Baltimore who was seven

217
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 1: and one in San Francisco who was seven and two

218
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: in true road games. And remember they didn't play any

219
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: road games in the postseason with the only two teams

220
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: that could be even on the same plane. So to me,

221
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: the infrastructure and what happens here three hundred and sixty

222
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: five days a year led to this remarkable run in

223
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: NFL history was made.

224
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 2: That final point makes all the media hoopla about, hey

225
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: is can Patrick Mahomes go on the road and win

226
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: a playoff game? Just kind of hilarious, doesn't it. I mean,

227
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 2: not only can he go on the road and win

228
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 2: a playoff game, he's going to do it in Buffalo

229
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: and Baltimore and then get the Chiefs back to the

230
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. But you're right, it's not just Patrick, it's

231
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: the players around him, and it's a lot of these

232
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 2: ancillary pieces that make a really good team a great team.

233
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: How about McCole Harbin catching the game winning touchdown. Now

234
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: we all know McCole because he was drafted here, he

235
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 2: was around here, But McCole was a mid season pickup.

236
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 2: McCole was a player that was not on this team

237
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 2: in training camp in the first several weeks of the year,

238
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: and he is the guy that has the ball in

239
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: his hands when the Chiefs are world champions. Those little

240
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 2: things are the things that really add up and matter

241
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: in the end and push a team to greatness. Justin

242
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 2: Watson making so many big plays for the Chiefs over

243
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 2: the course of the season and during the playoff run.

244
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 2: Mark was Valdez Scantling who was released yesterday. I mean,

245
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 2: just a legendary playoff run for him, making huge plays

246
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: when it mattered most. Having those players, being able to

247
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 2: add those players and to trust them and to put

248
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: them in big moments. How about nick Ala Gretty Another

249
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 2: great example. Nick Allagretty was a seventh round pick way

250
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: back in twenty nineteen and he is starting in the

251
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: Super Bowl because Joe Toney, the best guard in the NFL,

252
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 2: is injured. But no one skips a beat, no one

253
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: freaks out, no one panics because they trust that they

254
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 2: can put this guy in there and he can hold

255
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 2: his zone against a very good defensive front. We could

256
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: go on and on, but it's a real testament to

257
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 2: Brett Veach and his staff to find these players who

258
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: are not maybe household names, but they're in these settings

259
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,479
Speaker 2: and they can play, they can perform, they can be champions,

260
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: and Coach Andy Reid and the rest of the coaches

261
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 2: on this staff for putting them in the positions to succeed.

262
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: So I'm totally with you, Patrick Travis, Chris Jones, those guys,

263
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: they get a lot of the attention and credit deservingly,

264
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: so they're Hall of famers, they're some of the best

265
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 2: players to ever play the game. But to become a champion,

266
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 2: those guys would be the first to say they need

267
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 2: the other guys on the roster, and our guys really

268
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 2: won through fifty three and even on the practice squad

269
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: stepped up time and time again this season and in

270
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: the playoff run.

271
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: So the first category is the infrastructure that exists here

272
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: that will continue after this episode is over, moving into

273
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four season. But it was what was

274
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: done over a three hundred and sixty five day period

275
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: or the offseason in five to six months to build

276
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: a seaworthy ship that would last in rocky seas, and

277
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: now we know historic rocky seas. When you look at

278
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: what this team was able to accomplish, the second category

279
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: of our four or that's part of this narrative here

280
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: is the number four and how many flies into this

281
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty eight season was this incredible defense, the

282
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: youngest in National Football League history to win a Super

283
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: Bowl at average age of twenty five years, two hundred

284
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: and seventy eight days, the youngest team to win, Our

285
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: youngest defense to win a Super Bowl championship. And it

286
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: starts with and we mentioned this throughout the year, but

287
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: to play twenty one games and to allow less than

288
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: twenty eight points in every one of those games considering

289
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: who they were up against, is amazing.

290
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 2: Can I give you a whole slew of stats here?

291
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: There's some really great stuff from this playoff run. So

292
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to get to the defense in a moment.

293
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: I understand that's the point here, but it's all in

294
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 2: the context of this. So the Chiefs are one of

295
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: only thirteen teams to play four playoff games and win

296
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. You might be like, that's kind of surprising, right, Well,

297
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: most teams that win the Super Bowl get a buye,

298
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: and before twenty twenty one there were two buys in

299
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: each conference, So only thirteen teams have ever played four

300
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: games and won the Super Bowl. And that's hard because

301
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: it's a whole another game of work on these guys' bodies.

302
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 2: It's difficult. Guys can get hurt, so it doesn't happen

303
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: very often. Of those thirteen teams, the Chiefs are one

304
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 2: of only six teams to play the number one seed

305
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 2: and the number two seed and their own conference and

306
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: the number one seed in the the other conference and

307
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 2: win the Super Bowl. The only other teams to do

308
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: that are the two thousand Ravens, the two thousand and

309
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 2: five Steelers, the two thousand and seven Giants, the twenty

310
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 2: eleven Giants in the twenty twenty Bucks. That last one

311
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: hurts a little bit, but what do all those teams

312
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 2: have in common? Remarkable legendary playoff runts add the chief

313
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 2: to that list. Now you mentioned the DVOA. That's a

314
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 2: very advanced statistic like analytic kind of thing. According to that,

315
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: the Chiefs had the hardest postseason run of all time,

316
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 2: beating the two thousand and seven Giants, who of course

317
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: beat the previously unbeaten New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.

318
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 2: Why am I saying all this, Well, I don't want

319
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 2: it to be forgotten in NFL history. That, yes, Patrick Mahomes,

320
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 2: who is making the case to be the greatest quarterback

321
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: of all time, is really important in all of that,

322
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 2: But so was the Chiefs defense because they were legitimately legendary,

323
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 2: like this should be remembered as an all time defense.

324
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 2: Because you mentioned the twenty eight point figure, the Chiefs

325
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 2: held opponents under twenty five points in twenty of twenty

326
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: one games this season. The only team to score more

327
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: than twenty four points against the Chiefs this year was

328
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 2: the Packers at lambeau Field. They scored twenty seven. Everyone

329
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 2: else was held under twenty five points, including the number

330
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: two scoring offense in the NFL in Miami, the number

331
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: three scoring offense in the NFL in San Francisco, the

332
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 2: number four scoring offense in the NFL in Baltimore and

333
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: the number six scoring offense in the league in Buffalo.

334
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: They held those teams to an average of fifteen point

335
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: eight points per game in the playoffs, and two of

336
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 2: those games were on the road. I mean, just unbelievable

337
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 2: stuff from this defense. And how about the fourth quarter?

338
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 2: So here are the point totals in the fourth quarter

339
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs in these games. The Chiefs allowed zero

340
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: points to the Dolphins in the fourth quarter, zero points

341
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: to Buffalo, three to the Ravens, and nine points to

342
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers. And the Super Bowl in the

343
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, it's a grand total twelve points allowed in

344
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. You include overtime. The Niners had a

345
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: field goal, its fifteen total points in the fourth in

346
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,719
Speaker 2: overtime during the playoff run and George Kittle, Deebo Samuel,

347
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 2: and Brandon Aiyuk, three of the best players in our game.

348
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 2: Those guys combined for three thy two hundred and fifty

349
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 2: four yards during the season. They combined for eighty six

350
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 2: yards in the Super Bowl. This defense needs to be remembered.

351
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: That's one of the greatest defenses of all time. You

352
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: can't go any way around it, like This is an

353
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 2: all time defense, a championship defense, and one of the

354
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: very best to ever play the game.

355
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: You mentioned the five Steelers and the seven Giants, and

356
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: the eleven Giants and the twenty twenty Bucks. None of

357
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: those teams had to play a seventeenth regular season game

358
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: against a number one team from the NFC's that's what

359
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: sets this team apart as well, because you think about

360
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: all that in those runs, the Giants were the only

361
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: team they hadded seven losses that year. They went nine

362
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: to seven and still went on that run to beat

363
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: the undefeated Patriots in the Super Bowl. The next four

364
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: had six losses that so I'm saying it's one of

365
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: four teams of six losses. But none of those teams

366
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: had a seventeenth game where the Chiefs had to play

367
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: against the number one team from the NFC, and this

368
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: instance it was the Eagles, right, And so it just

369
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: again sets it apart. The final thing I would say,

370
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: as we move on, the second piece of this one

371
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: was infrastructure to this incredible defense. Was you look at

372
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 1: the rushing offenses that they played. You talked about scoring

373
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: offenses they played in the postseason. The number one rushing

374
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: offense in Baltimore, the number three in San Francisco, the

375
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: number six in Miami, the number seven in Buffalo. Christian

376
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: McCaffrey had an amazing, incredible year. Over two thousand do

377
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: all purpose yards, nearly fifteen hundred rushing yards. He averaged

378
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 1: five point six a carry throughout the year. In Super

379
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty eight, he averaged three point six. Man, it's

380
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: stunning when you look at Baltimore just eighty one rushing attempts,

381
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, eighty one rushing yards. They wish they had

382
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: eighty one yard rushing attempts. He only had eighty one

383
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: rushing yards. Buffalo, when you look at James Cook, who

384
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: was fourth in the league, he turned their season around.

385
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: We talked about that in December, how the adjusted to

386
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: make it a James Cook centric offense. And he ran

387
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: the ball for three point four carry against Kansas City

388
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: in his home building. And then you look up Miami

389
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: cold weather minus twenty eight. Wow, that's going to limit

390
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: their passing game. But it doesn't limit a rushing game.

391
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: In fact, many people think and a cold weather game

392
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: like that, rushing attacks have the advantage. Raheem Mostered, who

393
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: was tenth in the league in rushing. His longest run

394
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: in that game was eight yards. And we talked about

395
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: DeMont h Chen explosive player every seven point seven to

396
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: seven yards of Kerry. When he was healthy in the

397
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: regular season, his longest run was three yards. This defense

398
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: did remarkable and historic things. Our third category is Patrick

399
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: Mahomes and what he did in this playoff run and

400
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: he adjusted throughout the season, just put him on a

401
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: whole other pedestal. You alluded to it. What are we

402
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 1: going to say about him now? Because it was Hay

403
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: He's never played a true road game. He crushed it

404
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: in those games. Patrick Mahomes went to a whole other

405
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: time and space dimension.

406
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 2: He's a legend and that's just what he is. We're

407
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 2: watching history before our eyes. He's just unbelievable. There have

408
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 2: been seven double digit comebacks in Super Bowl history. Okay

409
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 2: seven of them. Patrick Mahomes is responsible for three of them.

410
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: I mean, just think about that. The only other double

411
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 2: digit comebacks in NFL Super Bowl history. Washington have won

412
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty seven, the Saints in two thousand and nine,

413
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 2: the Patriots in twenty fourteen, and the Patriots again in

414
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. That was the twenty eight to three game

415
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 2: against the Falcons. That's it. Otherwise it's Patrick Mahomes is

416
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 2: the only responsible for the only other double digit comebacks

417
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 2: in Super Bowl history, and he has three of them.

418
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 2: Just the mental fortitude and the leadership to be down

419
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl once twice, but three times and

420
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 2: to lead his team back every single time is the

421
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 2: stuff of legends. And you just can't make it up.

422
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 2: The Chiefs are five in one when trailing by ten

423
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 2: or more points in the playoffs since twenty nineteen. The

424
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 2: rest of the NFL is six and forty eight. I mean,

425
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 2: that's Patrick Mahomes right there. And I'm glad we talked

426
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 2: about the defense first, because the defense put the Chiefs

427
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 2: in a position to win the Super Bowl this year.

428
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 2: They did. I mean, they contained that forty nine Ers

429
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 2: offense in the first half. The forty nine Ers had

430
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 2: opportunities to maybe pull away, make it too big of

431
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 2: a deficit, and the defense consistently kept the Chiefs within

432
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 2: striking distance. And here's the beauty of Patrick Mahomes is

433
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 2: the Chief's offense. All week, you'd hear about people saying statistically,

434
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 2: it's not as explosive as it has been in years past. Well,

435
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 2: when all the chips are down and you're in a

436
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 2: fourth quarter of a Super Bowl, none of that matters anymore.

437
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 2: What matters is that Patrick Mahomes is on our side

438
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 2: and he's not going to lose. The Chiefs scored points

439
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 2: on each of their final four drives in the Super Bowl,

440
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 2: and on the final possession in overtime, he accounted for

441
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 2: sixty nine of the Chiefs seventy five yards. He went

442
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 2: eight for eight passing on that drive, also rushed for

443
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 2: twenty seven yards, converted two third downs and one fourth

444
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 2: down when his third Super Bowl MVP, only Tom Brady

445
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 2: has more with five and Patrick is twenty eight years old.

446
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 2: You can't make it up. It's the kind of stuff

447
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 2: that if this was like a Disney movie, we'd be like, Nah,

448
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 2: that's not realistic. It's not how things go. Guys don't

449
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: do this, Because they don't, we have the one guy

450
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: that does it. And even if you look back at

451
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 2: the early Patriot runs, because Tom Brady is the only

452
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: person who's really comparable to Patrick at this point, I

453
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: guess maybe Jill Montana as well. But if you're looking

454
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 2: at really these careers, I watched the documentary on the

455
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 2: Patriots on Apple TV. It's really good. It's interesting if

456
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 2: you get to watch that yet, it's good. I gotta

457
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 2: get psyched up to watch that one. But what's interesting

458
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 2: is the runs are much different. I mean I talked

459
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 2: about how the Patriots had their run later on and

460
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 2: they had their early run. The run later on was

461
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 2: really offense centric. I mean, Tom Brady was a League

462
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 2: MVP in the early run. It really wasn't like that.

463
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 2: I mean Tom Brady was part of an incredible team,

464
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: an amazing defense, like all these great players around him,

465
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 2: and he was kind of like the point guard of

466
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 2: all of that. Patrick mahomes to be the best player

467
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 2: in the NFL and to win these Super Bowls the

468
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 2: way that he has. One of my favorite parts of

469
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 2: what rewatching the Super Bowl in overtime when the Niners

470
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: are winning, they keep showing Niners' faces on the sideline,

471
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 2: like in between plays, and you could feel the sense

472
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 2: of dread, the sense of inevitability. And for that to

473
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 2: be our quarterback that's putting that feeling into the opponent.

474
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 2: It's something you wait your whole life for as a fan.

475
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 2: And I mean, we could talk forever about him but

476
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 2: he's a legend. That's really all I have to say.

477
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: To be fifteen and three in the postseason in his

478
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: career shatters all the other records winning percentage in this

479
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: but during the year, all Mahomes is having a down

480
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: year if you didn't do the deep dive, and we

481
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: went into all that throughout past episodes. Seventy four percent

482
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: completion percentage at Buffalo at Baltimore against arguably the NFL's

483
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: best defense, seventy seven percent completion percentage, and his career

484
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: playoff rating one oh five point eight in his career,

485
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: the runs, the fourth and one run will be the

486
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: most famous, probably in Super Bowl fifty eight. Chiefs don't

487
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,239
Speaker 1: make that they lose the game. But we'll forget the

488
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: thirty four yard run at Buffalo, the twenty two yard

489
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: run earlier against San Francisco, the twenty eight yard run

490
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: against Miami, the run against Miami where I sat on

491
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: the air, where it was very reminiscent of his Super

492
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty seven run where he's trying to just take

493
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: a step without he's an excruciating pain, where he's carrying

494
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: the ball in one hand and his sword and the others.

495
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: That's what it reminded you of and you mentioned the

496
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: comeback wins to trail by seven plus points in the playoffs.

497
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: He's nine and two, all right. The next closest quarterback

498
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: is Brady at ten and eleven. Nobody else has a

499
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: winning record, like this is just stuff that you cannot

500
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: make up. Seven straight playoff wins for Patrick Mahomes. Only

501
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: Brady has more with ten and then the two MVPs

502
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: and the three Super Bowl MVPs ties Joe Montana, So

503
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: we're there. Is he the greatest? Is he greatest? Well,

504
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: he's in the discussion, but right now he's in the discussion.

505
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: You can narrow it down with maybe only one other

506
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: guy because he's or maybe Montana.

507
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe Montana.

508
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: But that list is getting really that's those three Brady, Montana,

509
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: Mahomes because the others start to dim and what Patrick

510
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: has already.

511
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 2: Done and he's twenty eight, he's on the quarterback mount rushmore.

512
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 2: Now he is, Yes, sir, there's no way around it.

513
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I think for so long, understandably so people

514
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 2: want to say, okay, hold on, hold on, you know,

515
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: I think this is we're just prisoners of the moment.

516
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 2: It's recency bias. No, if you win three Super Bowls,

517
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 2: you are one of the all time greats already. I

518
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 2: don't care how young you are, so I look this

519
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 2: up as well. Here are the only teams in NFL

520
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 2: history to win three Super Bowls and five seasons. The

521
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy four to seventy eight Steelers, the nineteen ninety

522
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 2: two to ninety five Cowboys, the one to four Patriots,

523
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 2: and the fourteen to eighteen Patriots. Then the Chiefs in

524
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 2: this current run. And Mahomes has been the lightning rod

525
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,719
Speaker 2: behind all of it. He's on the mount rushmore of

526
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 2: all time quarterbacks already at twenty eight years old. And

527
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 2: that's why I'm willing to entertain the greatest of all

528
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 2: time discussion. Like I get it, Like Brady has seven rings,

529
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 2: I understand it. He has a ways to go until

530
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: he gets there. But when your quarterback is twenty eight

531
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 2: years old, he has been a starter for six seasons,

532
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 2: his season has never ended shy of overtime of the

533
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 2: AFC Championship Game, and he's won three Super Bowls and

534
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 2: been to four again. I mean, this stuff doesn't happen.

535
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 2: You kind of have to throw out historical precedent. He's

536
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: one of the greatest to do it already. I'd be

537
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 2: willing to say right now he is the second best

538
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 2: quarterback of all time already, and he has a real

539
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 2: shot at being the absolute greatest when it's all said

540
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 2: and done, and.

541
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: When you're talking about passing the John Always and passing

542
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: the Roethlisbergers, and he's pasted him. Sorry, he has. It's

543
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: just and he's about ready just to nudge ahead of Montana.

544
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: And yes he's on that Mount Rushmore. We'll close it

545
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: out this way. The fourth category would be the way

546
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: this team finished. And again, this is stuff we alluded

547
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: to down through our episodes on Defending the Kingdom. And

548
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: let's start with Harrison Bucker. I mentioned earlier as we

549
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: started the podcast. Four made field goals in the Super Bowl.

550
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: That ties a Super Bowl record with a couple of others,

551
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 1: but he set the Super Bowl record with the fifty

552
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: seven yard field goal on the logo on the paint

553
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: of the logo in Las Vegas. But what Harrison Bucker

554
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: did this year, and especially the way he finished with

555
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: the clutch kicks and the playoffs in all kinds of weather.

556
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: I remember those kicks going into my right. In the

557
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: minus twenty eight Winshield game, Harrison Bucker set himself apart. All.

558
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I love Jon Stener at Pro Football Hall

559
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: of Fame, but maybe Butcker's headed there. Yeah, I mean really,

560
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: we can't look at this from a historical context until

561
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: it's done, but in the present, he's headed there.

562
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 2: So Vin Terry is eligible next year. I believe he'll

563
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 2: get in. He'll get in first BALLOCE. And I mean

564
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,719
Speaker 2: Harrison is like on that track. Harrison is a three

565
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 2: time Super Bowl champion. He's made field goals in the

566
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. He's on the track. And it's hard for

567
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 2: kickers to get into the Hall of Fame. We all

568
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 2: know that. But I mean, when you're a three time

569
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 2: champion and he's coming off one of the greatest seasons

570
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 2: by a kicker ever, it kind of got overshadowed, like

571
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 2: no one's really talking about it. But if you dig

572
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 2: into the numbers, I think he missed two field goals

573
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 2: this year. He didn't miss a single extra point. He

574
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 2: was perfect in the playoffs on field goals and extra points,

575
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: and like major field goals, think about.

576
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: It an outdoors outdoors outdoors. Yeah, in those three playoff

577
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: runs to get to Las Vegas. Those were not good

578
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: weather days. None of the three.

579
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 2: Well, Buffalo really comes to mind because Buffalo is very

580
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 2: much like a back and forth volley kind of game.

581
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 2: Is a game of who's gonna blink first, and ultimately

582
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 2: the Bills blinked first. But the Chiefs they had to

583
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 2: match the Bills throughout that game because the Bills had

584
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 2: a lot of momentum early and when a drive maybe

585
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 2: would stall a little bit, like on the first drive,

586
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs, you got to get points. There's nothing

587
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 2: more momentum crushing than when you have like a fourteen

588
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 2: play drive it stalls on like fourth and two. It's like,

589
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: all right, we're in field goal range and you miss

590
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 2: the field goal. Nothing more crushing. Especially in the playoffs.

591
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 2: That never happened to the Chiefs. Whenever the Chiefs were

592
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: remotely in field goal range, they got points every single time.

593
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 2: And it's actually the inverse effect for the opponent where

594
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 2: they get a stop and they're like, all right, maybe

595
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 2: they'll miss the field goal. They we'll get a block.

596
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 2: Doesn't happen, And that happened to the forty nine ers

597
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl. They missed the extra point. It

598
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 2: was blocked and look what happened. So, I mean you

599
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 2: kind of take it for granted when you have a

600
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 2: kicker that can go out there and just cash in

601
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 2: points every single time. I mean, we can't overlook it. It

602
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 2: was one of the greatest seasons by a kicker. Ever.

603
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: The other thing we can overlook, and we'll close it

604
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: this way, is the issues. So during the regular season,

605
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: and we said on this very set, if the Chiefs

606
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: and they're all fixable, they'll become a force because there's

607
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: the infrastructure setting there. The offensive line on the twenty

608
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: sixth of December took the charge in this area. Drops Okay,

609
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: drops led the league and drops drops are like airs

610
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: in baseball. You know some list forty three next gen stats,

611
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: it's thirty four stats passes thirty five. There were three

612
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, three and two by Kelsey and it

613
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: was in the minus twenty eight win chill game. All Right,

614
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: penalties holes most holes of any team in the NFL

615
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: on the offensive side. There were five in four games,

616
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: only ten penalties in four games on the Chiefs. Third

617
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: was the giveaway takeaway ooh, minus eleven in the regular season.

618
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: That doesn't add up to eleven and six, but being

619
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: plus two against four really tough opponents adds up to

620
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl championship. They cleaned it up when it

621
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: mattered the most.

622
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 2: It's the heart of a champion, That's what it is.

623
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 2: And I understand why people were questioning the Chiefs during

624
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 2: the season. I get it. It's hard to flip the

625
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 2: switch right, hard to correct those things when it matters most.

626
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 2: The Chiefs have the benefit of the experience of being there.

627
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 2: They know what it takes and listen, like I want

628
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 2: the Chiefs to win every game like it, Like when

629
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 2: we lost the Bills, that was a bummer, Like you

630
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 2: want to beat the Bills. I wanted to beat the

631
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 2: Eagles at home, Like those are bummers and the players

632
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 2: feel that more than anyone. But it really is a

633
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 2: matter of what do you do from there? How do

634
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 2: you take it? How do you respond to a really

635
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 2: tough loss to the Raiders at home on Christmas? This

636
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: is stuff we talked about all year and it might

637
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: sound like we're just being like Captain positive after a

638
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 2: tough loss, But if you want to win a Super

639
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 2: Bowl in a championship, that's how you have to handle it.

640
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 2: You have to respond to it by learning from it

641
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 2: and correcting it and Okay, what can I take from

642
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 2: this to use to make me better? Not dwelling on

643
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 2: it and pointing fingers. That's what teams that lose do,

644
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 2: and the Chiefs don't do that. And there was many

645
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 2: times this year a flashpoints is what you call him,

646
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 2: that's what they are. Where the Chiefs could have been

647
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 2: like it is not our year, like this is just

648
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 2: not our year. We'll retool, we'll regroup, get him next year.

649
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 2: The Chiefs didn't do that. The Chiefs said, this is

650
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 2: our team that we're gonna win with. And I think

651
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,479
Speaker 2: about McCole, Hartman, like to get back to McCole, a

652
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 2: player that had ups and downs, wasn't going well in

653
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 2: New York and he comes here and he's injured, but

654
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 2: then when his number is called and the biggest moment

655
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,719
Speaker 2: of his life he comes through. Like that's the DNA

656
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 2: of this team and what it's like to be here.

657
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 2: And not to go on a tangent on mc coole,

658
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 2: but I was happy for him because so often it

659
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 2: felt like McCole made big plays before the play everyone remembers,

660
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 2: you know.

661
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: Throughout his career, we'd lay that out one. Yeah, especially

662
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: in the playoffs.

663
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 2: Uh huh, Like against the Texans the kick return. No

664
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 2: one really remembers that unless you're like reallyditty gritty into it.

665
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: They just remember all the touchdowns. It all started with

666
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 2: him in the thirteen seconds game. He had like a

667
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 2: twenty five yard catch and run right before the play

668
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 2: that Kels caught the touchdown that everyone remembers. Cole finally

669
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 2: had his play where everyone is going to remember it forever.

670
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 2: I think that's so cool and he deserves it, and

671
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 2: he's an example of what it means to be a

672
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 2: champion in this building, Like things aren't going well, you know,

673
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 2: like I could pack it all in or I can

674
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 2: get to work. It's not a cliche. It's not just

675
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 2: coach speak. That's real. And the Chiefs embraced that throughout

676
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 2: this season, and what do you know paid off with

677
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,479
Speaker 2: the second straight championship.

678
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: Especially the fumble against Buffalo where you're thinking, God, we'd

679
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: be up double digits. That's a double digit game and

680
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: you're thinking, no, no, McCole is going to be the goat.

681
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: But Andy Reid, that's the brilliants of Andy Reid is

682
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: understanding the human spirit it's even better than anything he

683
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: can design as a play. And then Hartman comes out

684
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: to be will be there forever. So yes, this sixty

685
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: fourth team in franchise history is a team that is

686
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: truly set apart. They will be in our hearts and

687
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: our souls as long as we have breath on this

688
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: lie or in this earth. But it's also a team

689
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: that was I don't know. Four was a big number

690
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: for this team. The sixty fourteen set apart and remembered forever.

691
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:07,719
Speaker 1: Wo
