Philadelphia Eagles five and 0:00:18.899 --> 0:00:21.299 one on the year at home for Sunday Night Football, 0:00:21.339 --> 0:00:23.299 taking on a fellow five and one are in the 0:00:23.339 --> 0:00:25.859 Miami Dolphins, who held up their side of the bargain 0:00:25.859 --> 0:00:28.939 and making this game feel like a potential Super Bowl preview. 0:00:29.099 --> 0:00:31.139 Hi, we don't. He's never one of us. I'm not 0:00:31.219 --> 0:00:31.939 a whole plan out of it. 0:00:32.179 --> 0:00:36.259 If you're filming Miami celebrity status growing to Axel Rose levels, 0:00:36.299 --> 0:00:39.179 I guess they started way later than they were supposed 0:00:39.219 --> 0:00:41.619 to last week, but once they hit the stage, ripped 0:00:41.619 --> 0:00:42.299 it up real. 0:00:42.179 --> 0:00:52.739 Goodnatown Oly smoked them. 0:00:50.539 --> 0:00:54.099 And unlike Axel Tyreek wants you to take pictures of him. 0:00:54.219 --> 0:00:55.459 He'll even take them for you. 0:00:55.619 --> 0:00:57.699 Well, he went out and found that guy in particular, 0:00:59.819 --> 0:01:01.739 guy he wanted to run and get the phone from. 0:01:01.779 --> 0:01:05.859 Philadelphia's defensive task is simple, but not really. Dolphins offense 0:01:05.899 --> 0:01:08.539 has four key legs. It stands on the two most 0:01:08.579 --> 0:01:10.219 obvious TUA and Tyreek. 0:01:11.499 --> 0:01:15.659 It's cup by Hill. Look at him, he's super rocking 0:01:15.779 --> 0:01:16.339 in his hey. 0:01:16.659 --> 0:01:18.899 Hill has four games with over one hundred and fifty 0:01:18.939 --> 0:01:21.579 five yards, already went for one hundred and sixty three 0:01:21.699 --> 0:01:24.779 last week. Dolphins have won three of the four games handily. 0:01:25.059 --> 0:01:25.899 Time for Tua. 0:01:26.459 --> 0:01:30.779 Here he comes Hill touch in twenty four yard pickup. 0:01:31.099 --> 0:01:34.299 Hill leads the league in receiving yards, receiving yards per game, 0:01:34.419 --> 0:01:37.499 receiving touchdowns, and yards per catch. No one in the 0:01:37.579 --> 0:01:39.939 league is harder to cover at this point. He can't 0:01:39.979 --> 0:01:43.099 be left one on one unless Philadelphia signs the Flash 0:01:43.179 --> 0:01:44.339 to play corner this week. 0:01:44.819 --> 0:01:48.259 Love boy, you do look you look? Youtu Look How 0:01:48.339 --> 0:01:50.059 big boy? How big boy out here? 0:01:50.259 --> 0:01:52.979 Tongue of Iiloa knows all that and benefits from it. 0:01:53.139 --> 0:01:56.059 Eagles facing a quarterback leading the league in TD passes, 0:01:56.139 --> 0:01:59.459 passing yards per game, rating, yards per attempt, yards per completion, 0:01:59.739 --> 0:02:02.659 three tds last week, rating over one twenty five. 0:02:02.859 --> 0:02:06.579 It's most of se tux Ton Mon. 0:02:07.299 --> 0:02:09.859 There are times he doesn't even look like he's trying. 0:02:10.139 --> 0:02:12.699 Just be patient and the Cheetah will eventually be open. 0:02:12.899 --> 0:02:16.419 If not him, Burgis Meredith will sorry get the times right. 0:02:16.579 --> 0:02:20.099 Colin Ferrell. Jalen waddled again last week. He scored back 0:02:20.099 --> 0:02:20.819 to back games. 0:02:20.979 --> 0:02:23.059 Here they come there, he goes. 0:02:23.139 --> 0:02:27.179 Tua clip tuxtime, wattle, twattle. 0:02:28.179 --> 0:02:30.419 Everybody's doing it here in Miami. 0:02:30.659 --> 0:02:34.219 The real key to slowing that Trio down is pressuring Tua, 0:02:34.299 --> 0:02:36.859 which is not easy. No what else tongue of Iloa's 0:02:36.939 --> 0:02:40.099 number one in least amount of pressured faced in large 0:02:40.139 --> 0:02:42.539 part because no quarterback is getting rid of the ball 0:02:42.659 --> 0:02:43.579 faster than he is. 0:02:43.779 --> 0:02:46.259 What's the timing quickly comes out of his hands. It's 0:02:46.339 --> 0:02:48.019 on top of burials before the defense. 0:02:48.219 --> 0:02:51.259 Miami has taking the second few of sacks just six. 0:02:51.459 --> 0:02:54.539 Tua took four in one game. They're only lost to 0:02:54.659 --> 0:02:55.779 Buffalo week four. 0:02:56.059 --> 0:02:58.539 Here they come Russell coming after him. He's done him. 0:02:58.899 --> 0:03:00.619 They in the drive with a sack. 0:03:00.819 --> 0:03:03.699 See where this is all headed right? Philadelphia's front is 0:03:03.779 --> 0:03:06.179 front and center if they want to slow down Miami. 0:03:06.339 --> 0:03:08.339 Good thing for them. They have the kind of front 0:03:08.379 --> 0:03:11.619 that's capable of that second QB hits this year fourth 0:03:11.699 --> 0:03:15.459 most sacks pressure rate near forty seventh highest in the NFL. 0:03:15.619 --> 0:03:18.259 Wilson in trouble at he sacked Jordan Davis. 0:03:18.659 --> 0:03:21.419 Eagles come off a five sack outing versus New York. 0:03:21.539 --> 0:03:23.859 Hassan Reddick is on a tear two and a half 0:03:23.979 --> 0:03:26.619 bags week six back to back games with two plus 0:03:26.899 --> 0:03:28.539 a sack in three straight games. 0:03:28.699 --> 0:03:32.699 Wilson in trouble and he takes a huge sack Hassan 0:03:32.899 --> 0:03:35.019 Reddick his second sack. 0:03:34.859 --> 0:03:35.339 Of the day. 0:03:35.979 --> 0:03:38.979 Josh Sweat has three and a half QB takedowns this season, 0:03:39.299 --> 0:03:42.539 as does defensive tackle Jalen Carter, who missed last week. 0:03:42.659 --> 0:03:45.779 They could really use him and cornerback Darius Slay who 0:03:45.899 --> 0:03:48.779 also sat out last week. They haven't locked down wide 0:03:48.819 --> 0:03:51.299 outs this season, have allowed a ninety point eight rate 0:03:51.379 --> 0:03:54.619 to the position. Give up ninety yards to Garrett Wilson. 0:03:54.379 --> 0:03:57.139 Last week going down the sideline for Carrott, Wilson makes 0:03:57.179 --> 0:03:59.019 the adjustment for and the grab. 0:03:59.539 --> 0:04:02.139 If all of that is just half the challenge facing 0:04:02.179 --> 0:04:05.619 Philadelphia defenders, the Dolphins run game doesn't get the same 0:04:05.659 --> 0:04:08.459 acclaim as its pass game, as if they keep piling 0:04:08.539 --> 0:04:10.739 up one hundred yard rush games on the back end 0:04:10.779 --> 0:04:13.739 of the game, that's not it. Raheem Moster one hundred 0:04:13.739 --> 0:04:16.819 and fifteen yards last week, two more touchdowns six point 0:04:16.939 --> 0:04:17.219 eight to. 0:04:17.299 --> 0:04:20.219 Carry Moster's diving touchdown. 0:04:20.579 --> 0:04:24.299 Mike McDaniel's run play designs are what really makes their offense. 0:04:23.979 --> 0:04:25.379 Such a bewitched episode. 0:04:25.419 --> 0:04:27.979 To deal with, the Eagles need their defense to play 0:04:28.059 --> 0:04:31.059 moster the way they've handled most backs, holding them to 0:04:31.139 --> 0:04:33.659 three point one to carry second lowist in the NFL, 0:04:34.019 --> 0:04:36.259 held Breise Hall to three point three a run. 0:04:36.299 --> 0:04:38.579 And on first down nowhere to go. That a good 0:04:38.659 --> 0:04:39.459 push up front. 0:04:39.659 --> 0:04:42.819 It wasn't the Eagles defense that had issues versus New York, 0:04:42.899 --> 0:04:46.219 it was their offense, specifically Jalen Hurts. He needs to 0:04:46.339 --> 0:04:48.259 wake up for this one or it could get away 0:04:48.299 --> 0:04:51.539 from the Eagles. Miami's offense won't likely be as stagnant 0:04:51.579 --> 0:04:54.459 as New York's was. Three I T's last week, and 0:04:54.539 --> 0:04:57.379 the Jets didn't even have Sauce or DJ Reed at corner. 0:04:57.539 --> 0:05:00.819 Heerts in trouble a wabbler as he's hit and it's intercepted. 0:05:01.099 --> 0:05:05.379 That pressure came late, forced to floater and hole with 0:05:05.539 --> 0:05:06.299 the interception. 0:05:06.659 --> 0:05:08.739 Hurts is a sub ninety rate in three of their 0:05:08.859 --> 0:05:11.339 last four games. He's faced a decent amount. 0:05:11.099 --> 0:05:14.019 Of pressure lately too. Took two sacks versus the Jets. 0:05:14.099 --> 0:05:16.819 That's not a big deal, but faced pressure over forty 0:05:16.859 --> 0:05:20.219 percent of his dropbacks that did affect him in trouble. 0:05:20.539 --> 0:05:23.739 Hurts backs up to the inzo on the run by 0:05:23.819 --> 0:05:25.819 in time, Hurts throws in kompoint. 0:05:25.979 --> 0:05:29.339 Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson also left the game hurt 0:05:29.379 --> 0:05:33.219 and his backup struggled. That's problematic versus the Dolphins because 0:05:33.259 --> 0:05:37.179 another overlooked aspect about them their pass rush. Only two 0:05:37.299 --> 0:05:39.899 teams with more sacks than them. No one with more 0:05:40.019 --> 0:05:40.819 QB hits. 0:05:40.979 --> 0:05:44.459 No look out for Wilkins and shop. 0:05:44.619 --> 0:05:48.619 Andrew van ginkel Zach Sealer four sacks each, Christian Wilkins 0:05:48.699 --> 0:05:52.179 three and a half, Emmanuel Ogba, Bradley Chubb two plus each. 0:05:52.499 --> 0:05:55.739 Right out here kick hole pub zails yet another sack. 0:05:55.779 --> 0:05:58.779 And Jalen Phillips came back from injury last week too. 0:05:59.059 --> 0:06:01.859 They for sure have the front to bother hurts. Their 0:06:01.939 --> 0:06:04.699 problems kick in when they don't get home. Though ninety 0:06:04.699 --> 0:06:09.179 eight point nine rating allowed quarterbacks, completion percentage allowed near seventy. 0:06:08.979 --> 0:06:12.459 What Disney through town field of Jones, It's called bonfield. 0:06:12.579 --> 0:06:14.659 They gave up one hundred and fifteen yards to Adam 0:06:14.739 --> 0:06:17.499 feel and a touchdown in their Week six win. They've 0:06:17.539 --> 0:06:19.699 given up a one oh five point nine rate to 0:06:19.859 --> 0:06:21.419 wideouts in twenty twenty. 0:06:21.219 --> 0:06:24.979 Three dam So touchdown Celon. They also saw. 0:06:24.939 --> 0:06:28.019 Cornerback Xavian Howard leave with a groin injury, so it 0:06:28.099 --> 0:06:30.899 could be even tougher to cover aj Brown. He just 0:06:31.019 --> 0:06:33.699 keeps piling up one hundred yard games one hundred and 0:06:33.739 --> 0:06:35.899 thirty one versus New York one hundred and twenty five 0:06:36.019 --> 0:06:37.179 plus and four straight. 0:06:37.299 --> 0:06:40.779 Here's Brown first down inside the thirty five, breaking tackles 0:06:40.819 --> 0:06:42.779 to the thirty in Brown down the sideline. 0:06:43.059 --> 0:06:46.419 Vonte Smith forty four yards last week, eleven targets only 0:06:46.579 --> 0:06:49.059 five catches. He's been kind of quiet two games in 0:06:49.139 --> 0:06:52.259 a row. Tight End Dallas Godder forty two yards. Week six, 0:06:52.459 --> 0:06:55.859 running back DeAndre Swift forty receiving yards in a TD. 0:06:56.059 --> 0:07:00.059 Old barbro Swift a little juggle, breaks the tackle touchdown. 0:07:00.739 --> 0:07:03.979 Swift as a runner disappeared last week eighteen yards on 0:07:04.019 --> 0:07:06.899 ten carries. He hasn't been over four point one a 0:07:07.019 --> 0:07:09.739 run in three straight games now. Maybe the last name 0:07:09.859 --> 0:07:10.739 is too much to bear. 0:07:11.059 --> 0:07:12.979 Swift to carry negative play. 0:07:13.299 --> 0:07:16.419 Hurts has been using his legs effectively enough, though, Forty 0:07:16.459 --> 0:07:18.059 seven yards last week in a score. 0:07:18.259 --> 0:07:22.699 Hurts dancing around again escapes, the botet, finds room to 0:07:22.859 --> 0:07:25.499 run and hurts out of bounds on a diagonal. 0:07:25.699 --> 0:07:28.779 Best game of the week, no matter how Philadelphia look 0:07:28.899 --> 0:07:32.419 versus New York Stars galore on both sides of the ball. 0:07:33.019 --> 0:07:35.539 One of the best Week seven games on the docket. 0:07:35.659 --> 0:07:38.779 Detroit Lions on the road in Baltimore. Back from Jolly 0:07:38.859 --> 0:07:41.139 Old England feeling pretty jolly. 0:07:43.859 --> 0:07:47.059 Set to Bacchinostone and he still hasn't. 0:07:47.299 --> 0:07:50.459 Baltimore's defense proved to be too much for Tennessee's offense 0:07:50.579 --> 0:07:52.619 last week, and it's proven to be too much for 0:07:52.739 --> 0:07:56.899 most teams this season. Lions high powered, oh squaring off 0:07:56.939 --> 0:07:59.459 with a Ravens bunch that's top three in points per 0:07:59.539 --> 0:08:00.579 game allowed this year. 0:08:00.739 --> 0:08:01.499 It's got to help. 0:08:04.339 --> 0:08:08.419 It's back to Queen, so Queen gets the King off 0:08:08.499 --> 0:08:08.979 the field. 0:08:09.299 --> 0:08:12.859 Ravens defense has very few weaknesses. Tough against the run, 0:08:13.099 --> 0:08:16.219 strong pass rush, good against the pass, and all of 0:08:16.259 --> 0:08:18.859 those will be needed versus Detroit's offense, which is one 0:08:18.859 --> 0:08:21.019 of the most balanced attacks in the league. 0:08:21.179 --> 0:08:23.619 Goff has a man on the out route and it's 0:08:23.659 --> 0:08:27.179 a connection with his excellent rookie tight end Sam Laporta. 0:08:27.419 --> 0:08:30.179 How balanced Detroit is this week will Hinge on the 0:08:30.219 --> 0:08:33.699 availability of its backfield. Rookie Jamiir Gibbs didn't play Week 0:08:33.779 --> 0:08:36.779 six and David Montgomery left their game hurt. 0:08:37.099 --> 0:08:39.019 He is the engine, in my opinion, that gets this 0:08:39.179 --> 0:08:42.299 offense running. That that would be a huge loss for 0:08:42.419 --> 0:08:42.739 this team. 0:08:42.859 --> 0:08:45.539 That placed and could place a lot of pressure on 0:08:45.659 --> 0:08:48.139 Jared Goff to move the ball and against the Tampa 0:08:48.179 --> 0:08:50.779 Bay secondary that had played the pass tough. He went 0:08:50.859 --> 0:08:53.939 for three hundred and fifty plus yards, eight yards per attempt, 0:08:53.979 --> 0:08:56.819 two tds, no picks, a raiding near one ten. 0:08:57.099 --> 0:09:00.459 Goff loads it up through behind Josh Reynolds, who makes 0:09:00.499 --> 0:09:02.939 the adjustment as he often has for his quarterback. 0:09:03.179 --> 0:09:05.899 Goff now has an other tough secondary to battle with. 0:09:06.139 --> 0:09:08.939 The Ravens have held quarterbacks to a low seventies rate. 0:09:09.219 --> 0:09:12.579 They're in the sub sixty completion percentage club. Not many 0:09:12.619 --> 0:09:13.539 are in that club. 0:09:14.699 --> 0:09:18.099 Ravens all around and broken up by Marcus Williams. 0:09:18.339 --> 0:09:22.139 I'm on Ross Saint Brown versus cornerback Marlon Humphrey. That's 0:09:22.179 --> 0:09:25.579 a big one. Humphrey does plenty of traveling. Ravens held 0:09:25.619 --> 0:09:29.059 DeAndre Hopkins to one catch last week, just twenty yards. 0:09:29.299 --> 0:09:32.179 They're holding wide receivers to a seventy point four rate 0:09:32.259 --> 0:09:33.259 in twenty twenty three. 0:09:33.659 --> 0:09:36.939 Pressure up the middle, Pittman John Les battles and drops 0:09:37.419 --> 0:09:39.819 knocked out of his hands by Brandon Stevens. 0:09:40.179 --> 0:09:43.259 Saint Brown comes in off a twelve catch, one hundred 0:09:43.259 --> 0:09:46.739 and twenty four yard td outing. Fifteen of Golf's forty 0:09:46.779 --> 0:09:48.259 four targets went to him. 0:09:48.339 --> 0:09:51.819 Under pressure, Golf was protected. Saint Brown has it. Craig 0:09:51.899 --> 0:09:55.219 Reynolds to the big block, and Saint Brown works all 0:09:55.259 --> 0:09:57.499 the way downfield for the touchdown. 0:09:57.979 --> 0:10:00.379 Gough's second favorite look to Sam Laporta. 0:10:00.579 --> 0:10:03.979 GoF plenty of time man this time. Sam Laporta holds 0:10:04.059 --> 0:10:04.779 up to. 0:10:04.939 --> 0:10:08.179 Move the chains only thirty six yards last week, but 0:10:08.259 --> 0:10:11.339 eleven targets. No one else on the team had four plus. 0:10:11.579 --> 0:10:15.179 Baltimore's linebackers and safeties will also make it tough on him, 0:10:15.259 --> 0:10:17.659 though they've held tight ends to a fifty eight point 0:10:17.819 --> 0:10:19.339 nine rating incomplete. 0:10:19.859 --> 0:10:22.819 He was trying to hit Darnell Washington, the third round 0:10:23.219 --> 0:10:26.579 rookie from Georgia, and Rokeewand Smithson not on my watch. 0:10:26.739 --> 0:10:29.779 Ravens also have Josh Reynolds to worry about. Fifty yards 0:10:29.899 --> 0:10:32.419 last week, He's given him fifty plus in each game 0:10:32.539 --> 0:10:34.459 he started and finished Goff. 0:10:34.419 --> 0:10:38.219 On second down, beautiful throw up the scene for Josh Reynolds. 0:10:38.019 --> 0:10:42.179 And Baltimore's DB's better handle their Jamison responsibly. Williams is 0:10:42.259 --> 0:10:45.699 the game breaking threat of forty five yard touchdown last week. 0:10:45.859 --> 0:10:49.099 Once it all Jamison Williams looking for the ball. 0:10:51.379 --> 0:10:56.539 Touchdown, yet another beefy battle. Goff's O line against Baltimore's 0:10:56.619 --> 0:11:00.499 pass rush. Ravens with a sacks six versus Tennessee twenty 0:11:00.539 --> 0:11:01.979 four sacks and six games. 0:11:02.179 --> 0:11:05.979 They aren't blitz happy either. He's take it down to 0:11:06.179 --> 0:11:08.339 Debbian Clowney flip the coin. 0:11:08.459 --> 0:11:11.699 Now, Lions defense facing a Raven's offense that's still a 0:11:11.779 --> 0:11:14.219 work in progress, middle of the pack and scoring, but 0:11:14.339 --> 0:11:16.419 with their d they don't need a ton of points. 0:11:16.539 --> 0:11:18.979 Detroit still has to play the run well first and 0:11:19.139 --> 0:11:22.059 foremost specifically, they have to be able to play Lamar 0:11:22.219 --> 0:11:23.299 Jackson's legs well. 0:11:23.499 --> 0:11:29.579 Nice footboard Jackson, don't step first down right putting on 0:11:29.659 --> 0:11:30.059 a show. 0:11:30.179 --> 0:11:32.979 Right there, Jackson is still taking off with the ball. 0:11:33.139 --> 0:11:35.899 He led the team in rushing yards versus Tennessee, has 0:11:35.979 --> 0:11:38.779 forty five plus rush yards in their last five games. 0:11:38.899 --> 0:11:44.379 You will step up and go aside the spread them up, 0:11:44.459 --> 0:11:45.619 then slice them up. 0:11:45.899 --> 0:11:49.259 Detroit has allowed four point five a run to quarterbacks. 0:11:49.339 --> 0:11:51.859 That's the wrong side of average compared to the rest 0:11:51.899 --> 0:11:55.299 of the league. When Baltimore hands off Gus Edwards under 0:11:55.339 --> 0:11:57.739 four yards per carry last week, but he's given them 0:11:57.779 --> 0:12:01.819 between forty and sixty five yards five straight Scus Edwards. 0:12:01.579 --> 0:12:07.099 Again, nice speaking down Baltimore, tough to tackle that guy. 0:12:07.379 --> 0:12:09.979 He will have a tougher time than Jackson in theory 0:12:10.259 --> 0:12:12.979 lions of stuffed running backs to three point one a 0:12:13.099 --> 0:12:15.099 run only one team ahead of them. 0:12:15.179 --> 0:12:17.659 There Back to the line of scrimmage egos good penetration 0:12:17.859 --> 0:12:19.819 by Alex Anzelonian company. 0:12:20.059 --> 0:12:22.539 What's Detroit's secondary dealing with when it comes to the 0:12:22.619 --> 0:12:27.659 Ravens passing game? The consistent components Jackson, Mark Andrews, Ze Flowers. 0:12:27.819 --> 0:12:31.619 Flowers caught Lamar's one touchdown past week six fifty yards, 0:12:31.899 --> 0:12:34.099 his low for the year forty eight. He's having a 0:12:34.219 --> 0:12:35.299 nice rookie year. 0:12:35.499 --> 0:12:40.939 Lamar dancing around Flinton to touchdown. 0:12:41.259 --> 0:12:44.019 Andrews led the team in receiving yards versus Tennessee with 0:12:44.139 --> 0:12:47.819 sixty nine sixty five plus yards and three straight for him. 0:12:47.779 --> 0:12:52.339 Now Blamar for andrews up big Canado. 0:12:52.579 --> 0:12:56.019 Lions defense hasn't handled tight ends great, allowing a rating 0:12:56.099 --> 0:12:58.539 near one hundred to them. Didn't face an a list 0:12:58.619 --> 0:13:01.899 or last week. Detroit's better versus wide outs, holding them 0:13:01.939 --> 0:13:04.939 to under a ninety rate held Mike Evans four catches 0:13:04.979 --> 0:13:08.139 on ten targets. Week six held Baker Mayfield a five 0:13:08.179 --> 0:13:11.899 point six yards per attempt. No touchdowns are rating under sixty. 0:13:12.059 --> 0:13:14.339 Picked him off off a fake, off a pump at 0:13:14.379 --> 0:13:16.699 a flet, shit at a pick. It belongs to Detroit. 0:13:16.899 --> 0:13:19.819 Jackson isn't easy to sack, not hard to either. He 0:13:19.899 --> 0:13:22.979 has taken sixteen sacks in six games. Pressure rate faced 0:13:23.099 --> 0:13:26.939 mid thirties. Lions aren't blitz happy either. Aiden Hutchinson didn't 0:13:26.939 --> 0:13:29.539 get to Baker last week. Detroit's pass rush not the 0:13:29.619 --> 0:13:33.339 same at Baltimore can neutralize him. LA Chargers on the 0:13:33.459 --> 0:13:36.019 road Week seven inter division battle as they head to 0:13:36.099 --> 0:13:39.579 Kansas City. The Chiefs now officially streaking through the quad 0:13:39.699 --> 0:13:41.139 behind Frank the Tank. 0:13:41.139 --> 0:13:44.459 Kansas City winning its last sixteen regular season games. 0:13:44.659 --> 0:13:48.539 Casey's on a five win vender. Patrick Mahomes three hundred 0:13:48.539 --> 0:13:51.139 and six yards passing last week, has thrown for two 0:13:51.259 --> 0:13:53.699 hundred and seventy plus and four of their last five. 0:13:54.019 --> 0:13:56.019 This is what separates the past. 0:13:56.139 --> 0:13:59.299 Thritney was at Casey's game again. Not surprising then that 0:13:59.419 --> 0:14:02.059 Travis Kelcey comes in off his best twenty twenty three 0:14:02.219 --> 0:14:06.899 showing Kelsey apparently inspired by spears. Nine targets, nine catches, 0:14:06.899 --> 0:14:08.419 one hundred and twenty four yards. 0:14:08.819 --> 0:14:11.979 They said, forget these receivers, let's put two on eighty seven. 0:14:12.259 --> 0:14:13.019 He'll take care of it. 0:14:13.219 --> 0:14:15.739 Good for Kelsey, by the way, hanging with an older woman. 0:14:16.059 --> 0:14:19.099 And yet La isn't facing an elite offense. The Chiefs 0:14:19.139 --> 0:14:21.419 have only put up twenty four plus points in two 0:14:21.539 --> 0:14:22.459 games this season. 0:14:22.739 --> 0:14:25.099 Well say, if the Chiefs offense can't get going, it's 0:14:25.139 --> 0:14:27.419 something that doesn't not said too often. 0:14:27.659 --> 0:14:30.779 Mahomes hasn't been thrilled with the offense. Despite the wins, 0:14:30.859 --> 0:14:33.699 they only scored nineteen versus Denver on a night the 0:14:33.779 --> 0:14:36.619 Broncos were playing hot potato with the ball. No, you 0:14:36.779 --> 0:14:40.059 guys take it. Mahomes threw his fifth kick in six games, 0:14:40.299 --> 0:14:43.539 very undued for him, four for thirteen on third down 0:14:43.659 --> 0:14:46.859 versus a Denver defense ranked near the bottom in almost 0:14:47.019 --> 0:14:47.579 every way. 0:14:48.019 --> 0:14:51.539 Denver defense once again setting up before. 0:14:51.339 --> 0:14:55.259 Them, Mahomes goes from one bottom dwelling secondary to another. 0:14:55.499 --> 0:14:58.379 Chargers defense hasn't played the pass well either. In twenty 0:14:58.459 --> 0:15:00.979 twenty three. Have given up one of the highest rates 0:15:01.019 --> 0:15:03.019 in the game. Gave up two hundred and seventy plus 0:15:03.139 --> 0:15:06.059 yards to Dak Press got last week rating allowed close 0:15:06.139 --> 0:15:07.219 to one ten and. 0:15:07.299 --> 0:15:10.619 They have really struggled and they've had a lot of opportunities. 0:15:10.979 --> 0:15:13.619 Mahomes needs one of his receivers to develop into a 0:15:13.699 --> 0:15:17.259 consistent second option. Rashi Rice was sort of that guy 0:15:17.379 --> 0:15:20.539 Week six. Four targets, four catches, seventy two yards. 0:15:20.659 --> 0:15:23.219 Get a glimpse of what Rice can do after the catch. 0:15:23.419 --> 0:15:26.299 They just haven't seen any wide receiver really have back 0:15:26.339 --> 0:15:29.219 to back good games yet for them. Could he versus 0:15:29.459 --> 0:15:32.619 LA's secondary, It certainly seems like it. They gave up 0:15:32.659 --> 0:15:35.219 over one hundred and ten yards to Ceedee Lamb. They've 0:15:35.259 --> 0:15:38.539 allowed the second highest rate to wide receivers of any team. 0:15:38.819 --> 0:15:40.859 He just opens up a big window there for Lamb 0:15:40.899 --> 0:15:41.219 to get in. 0:15:41.659 --> 0:15:43.899 Kansas City's tackles are going to have to ball this 0:15:44.059 --> 0:15:46.979 weekend to give Mahomes time. They will be doing battle 0:15:47.019 --> 0:15:50.779 with Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack and Morgan Fox. Juwan 0:15:50.899 --> 0:15:53.779 Taylor may need to line up behind Mahomes a kid, 0:15:53.899 --> 0:15:57.579 a kid, but not kidding. Chiefs line plus Patrick's legs 0:15:57.619 --> 0:16:00.419 have helped him face the second least pressure in twenty 0:16:00.499 --> 0:16:03.099 twenty three, and he holds the ball plenty long. 0:16:03.619 --> 0:16:05.739 He just is it so many times you kind of 0:16:05.779 --> 0:16:06.499 get used to it. 0:16:07.139 --> 0:16:10.499 Mac picked up his seventh sack versus Dallas. Morgan Fox 0:16:10.619 --> 0:16:13.899 bag Dac twice. He's got five sacks now in a 0:16:14.019 --> 0:16:15.379 four game bag streak. 0:16:15.699 --> 0:16:18.059 The loss on the plane, it's Morgan Fox. 0:16:18.779 --> 0:16:21.859 We mentioned Mahomes legs, He's using them more in picking 0:16:21.979 --> 0:16:25.179 up lots of first downs. Thirty one yards rushing last week, 0:16:25.339 --> 0:16:28.819 averaging thirty point eight per game right now, his career 0:16:28.979 --> 0:16:30.619 high for a season twenty two. 0:16:31.499 --> 0:16:34.139 The second he gets out here, things get tough. 0:16:34.379 --> 0:16:37.619 The Chargers just let Prescott go for forty rushing yards 0:16:37.659 --> 0:16:39.499 five point seven are running a touchdown. 0:16:39.739 --> 0:16:42.259 Nobody accounted for Prescott the back. 0:16:42.499 --> 0:16:45.619 LA will try and stop Isaiah Pacheco sixty two yards 0:16:45.699 --> 0:16:49.179 last week, sixty plus yards and five straight games, and. 0:16:49.219 --> 0:16:52.019 It really gives him a balanced attack. 0:16:52.219 --> 0:16:55.379 If the Chiefs o face sputters again, La still has 0:16:55.419 --> 0:16:58.299 to be able to hang some digits on Kansas City's defense. 0:16:58.659 --> 0:17:01.699 They were unable to hang many points on Dallas's when. 0:17:01.619 --> 0:17:02.459 They needed a play. 0:17:03.019 --> 0:17:04.659 It was the front that made it happened. 0:17:04.939 --> 0:17:08.059 So we've got an underperforming offense that has to improve 0:17:08.219 --> 0:17:11.539 against the Chiefs d holding opponents to just fourteen points 0:17:11.579 --> 0:17:12.779 seven points per game. 0:17:13.219 --> 0:17:15.659 A defense is is through it right to him. 0:17:16.059 --> 0:17:18.899 They are top ten on third down, holding quarterbacks to 0:17:18.939 --> 0:17:20.139 an eighty two rate. 0:17:20.339 --> 0:17:22.779 And this is why I think it's a challenge for 0:17:22.819 --> 0:17:24.379 opponents going against the Chiefs this year. 0:17:24.379 --> 0:17:26.659 The LA pass catchers are going to have to work 0:17:26.779 --> 0:17:29.939 safety Justin Reid holding targets to a sub seventy rate. 0:17:30.299 --> 0:17:35.339 Cornerback Joshua Williams sub seventy five, cornerback Trent McDuffie sub eighty, 0:17:35.699 --> 0:17:38.859 and they're big man on campus. Cornerback Lagerias Sneid low 0:17:39.059 --> 0:17:42.739 sixties guard it there by Sneid Chiefs have held wide 0:17:42.779 --> 0:17:45.419 receivers to a sub eighty rating and that's an A 0:17:45.619 --> 0:17:48.859 plus battle. Then with Keenan Allen eighty five yards versus 0:17:48.979 --> 0:17:51.579 Dallas and he scored. He's the focal point to their 0:17:51.619 --> 0:17:52.379 passing attack. 0:17:53.099 --> 0:17:55.179 Here's Allen touchdown Chargers. 0:17:55.859 --> 0:17:59.219 Chargers have Joshua Palmer sixty yards last week, but they 0:17:59.379 --> 0:18:02.019 need more. Herbert hasn't looked as crisp lately. 0:18:02.099 --> 0:18:03.899 Without Mike Williams on board. 0:18:04.219 --> 0:18:06.699 You don't see justin Herbert missed too many of those. 0:18:06.859 --> 0:18:09.899 Herbert only took one sack, but he was hit eight times. 0:18:10.219 --> 0:18:13.019 The pressure Dallas applied played a big role in keeping 0:18:13.099 --> 0:18:13.859 him at bay, and. 0:18:13.939 --> 0:18:16.179 Then Herbert's success weight a minute was supposed to. 0:18:16.179 --> 0:18:16.939 Have that protective. 0:18:17.379 --> 0:18:20.619 Kansas City's pass rushes built on two primary tent poles, 0:18:20.739 --> 0:18:23.779 Chris Jones and the blitz. Cj has a sack in 0:18:23.899 --> 0:18:26.499 every game he's played five and a half for the year. 0:18:26.779 --> 0:18:29.979 Kansas City a blitz rate over thirty eight percent, fourth 0:18:30.059 --> 0:18:31.379 highest in the league, but this. 0:18:31.499 --> 0:18:34.259 Is a fast, athletic Kansas City defense. 0:18:34.419 --> 0:18:37.459 Should be noted then, that Herbert has seventy d's against 0:18:37.579 --> 0:18:40.179 five plus, tied for the most in the league, a 0:18:40.299 --> 0:18:43.979 fat one fifteen point nine rating. He's been better against 0:18:44.019 --> 0:18:45.219 the blitz than without it. 0:18:46.019 --> 0:18:48.819 Slum its sidearm man into the zone. 0:18:49.019 --> 0:18:51.779 Chargers did get Austin Eckler back last week, but he 0:18:51.939 --> 0:18:54.219 ended under two yards per carry in his return. 0:18:54.739 --> 0:18:57.979 Eckler dancing got half a yard. 0:18:58.059 --> 0:19:01.899 He could rebound, though Chiefs defensive flaw is still run defense. 0:19:02.019 --> 0:19:03.979 Gave up five point two a run to Javonte W. 0:19:04.179 --> 0:19:07.579 Williams on his ten tries, four point three to Julia McLaughlin, 0:19:08.019 --> 0:19:11.099 four point five to running backs in twenty twenty three. 0:19:11.339 --> 0:19:13.899 Big Hold exploits that baby. 0:19:14.019 --> 0:19:17.179 This sets up as a nice superfan matchup too. I 0:19:17.179 --> 0:19:20.019 don't know if LA's travels though, and maybe best not 0:19:20.219 --> 0:19:23.259 drink more than six rock stars at one time. The crash, 0:19:23.379 --> 0:19:26.779 along with being a Chargers fan, is real. The San 0:19:26.819 --> 0:19:29.419 Francisco forty nine ers hit the road again this week, 0:19:29.619 --> 0:19:32.499
