But anyway, yeah, they 102 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: were glorious, great high school football tradition there for the 103 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: Beloit Trojans or the Saint John's of Beloit Bluejays, smaller 104 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: prochial school. Yeah, but justin out, that's it pretty good. 105 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: That's awesome. Man seventeen around the world for the seventeen 106 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: yard touchdown by Travis Kelsey against the Chargers last week. 107 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: All right, well, here come the Rams for this Thanksgiving 108 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: Sunday game. But you and are going to spend the 109 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: next several minutes talking about what we're thankful for, thankful 110 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: for dot dot dot, And let's just start with Patrick 111 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: Mahomes because you and I have talked about this stat 112 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: I was working late Tuesday night and you and I 113 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: worked late in the evenings and researching and get ready 114 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: for the game or shows like this, and I just 115 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: it hit me, like, this is so awesome. Patrick Mahomes 116 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: this year has thrown throwing percentage completion percentage of sixty 117 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: six point three percent. Last year. At the end of 118 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: the year, Patrick Mahomes had thrown for sixty six point 119 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: three percent. The year before, at the end of the year, 120 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes had thrown for sixty six point three percent 121 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: to the tenth of a point, to the exact decimal point. Yeah, 122 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: that's now you're you live for stats, your matt stats, 123 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: your nickname. That's one of the craziest stats I've ever seen. Yeah, 124 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,679 Speaker 1: do you think Patrick Mahomes is a glitch in the matrix? 125 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: Are we just living in the matrix because it doesn't 126 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: seem like it should be real? You go, what we 127 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: were talking about that, You go, he's a robot. Yeah, 128 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: he's a robot. That's one of the probabilities. It's infinitesimal. Yeah, 129 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: that you could have three straight years where the completion 130 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: percentage is exactly sixty six point three percent. And his 131 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: yards per attempt for the most part, are consistent every 132 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,799 Speaker 1: year too. It's usually around like eight yards per attempt 133 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 1: eight point one, eight point two point seven point nine. 134 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: And beyond just it being consistent with it being similar 135 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: every year, it's also the fact that he's pushing the 136 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: ball down field just about every year of his career 137 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: and yet his completion percentage is still kind of stays 138 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: exactly the same every single year because you have some 139 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: players who it's just short passes all the time, So 140 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,799 Speaker 1: of course our completion percentage is going to be pretty high. 141 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 1: But that's not Patrick Mahomes, Like he's throwing the ball 142 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: everywhere right, Like that throw to Jody Fortson against the 143 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: Chargers would be for almost every other quarterback, that would 144 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: be the best throw of their career. I really believe that. 145 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: But for him, it's like that's just what he does. 146 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: Said this to Dan and Hughes and the radio broadcast, 147 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: and you were setting there. That play was like your 148 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: mom when you were going to school on a snowy day, 149 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: butting up your budding up your zipper up your coat 150 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: and putting up like the muffler around your neck. That 151 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: was Patrick Mahomes opening up Jody Fortson's coat and putting 152 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: the ball in it and then zipping it up and say, hey, 153 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: be careful at school. That throw was so good, unbelievable 154 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: and great catch by Jody as well to come down 155 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: with it. But I mean it's throws like that that 156 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: her mind us every single day. We try not to 157 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: normalize it. Right, you cannot normalize it. What we're seeing 158 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: every single day from him is incredible and as good 159 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: as he has been in his career. I think this 160 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: might be the best season of his career. I think 161 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: he's right in the middle of it. And another stat 162 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: that we were talking about late last night is he 163 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: has thirty four completions this year of twenty five or 164 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: more yards. That one to Jodi was one of them. 165 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: That's ten more than second place. It's the most in 166 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: the NFL. It's fourteen more than he had at this 167 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: point last year, and it's the most that he's ever 168 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: had through ten games in his career. So Patrick Mahomes 169 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: is truly unlocked. I think he can throw it deep, 170 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: he can take the short stuff. He can run for 171 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: first downs if he needs to. He's having, I think 172 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: the best year of his career, and what an exclamation 173 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 1: point on such a great season so far to lead 174 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: the game winning drive against the Chargers of all teams. 175 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: I've said this, I'm just super proud of him, the 176 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: way he's even adjusted his game. I agree with you, 177 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: this is the best year he's had, particularly when you 178 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: consider the circumstances and what the discussion was in the offseason. 179 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: This is why this game against the Rams were thankful 180 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: for dot dot dot Patrick Mahomes, but why this Rams 181 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: game will be historic. If the Chiefs can win this game, 182 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: it will be Patrick mahomes fifty ninth win in his 183 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: first seventy four games. That means he will be the 184 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: winningest quarterback in NFL history in the first seventy five 185 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: games of anybody's career. He will take out Kenny the 186 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: Snake Stabler of Raider fame in the Pro Football Hall 187 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: of Fame. And the point here is a very strong 188 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: one because we live in stats. You love stats, but 189 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: we can set here and go, oh, completion percentage, yards, 190 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: twenty plus plays, all of that stuff. But there have 191 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: been quarterbacks down through history that have done that, and 192 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: not necessarily one or especially at this level, because he 193 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: will now have all of that and the wins. Yeah, 194 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: and a Super Bowl championship already and a Super Bowl 195 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: MVP and zeroing in on a second NFL MVP. But 196 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: to have all those stats and win is truly unique. 197 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: Because of the greatest quarterbacks, some would win but not 198 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: have all the stats. Some would have all the stats 199 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: but not win. He has both. Yeah, it's amazing. And 200 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: you and I we love stats and numbers. It helps 201 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: put everything in context, but we also real lives that 202 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: just because you have a great game, you throw for 203 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: five hundred yards five touchdowns, if you lose, it really 204 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: doesn't matter in the end, right it doesn't. And there's 205 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: been a lot of great quarterbacks in NFL history that 206 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: put up amazing numbers, but they just don't win a 207 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: whole lot or win when it matters. And that's all 208 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes cares about. The numbers in the stats are 209 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: how he gets there, but that's all he cares about 210 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: in the end. And think about all the great quarterbacks 211 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: in NFL history, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Montana, Steve Young, 212 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: like John Elway, like all these great players in NFL history. 213 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: If he gets this record, he has more wins than 214 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: all of them through seventy five career stars, all of them. 215 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: It's just unbelievable, And I mean, what are we thankful for? 216 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: It reminds me every day how lucky we are to 217 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: have him as our quarterback. And it's more than just 218 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: that he wins, it's how he carries himself as well, 219 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: and it's just a total package. And again, I just 220 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: don't know how this person exists, who's so good at 221 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: football athletically, who's so smart on the field and can 222 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: analyze things and things, and it's such a great dude 223 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: off of it. We're just we're so fortunate to do 224 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: our job covering what he does. We'll find out someday. 225 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: He just was delivered here from Tripton and just phenomenal 226 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: what he has been, has done and is doing. And 227 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: our locker room loves him. That's what's that's what's awesome 228 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: about it. You could be jealous of him, and football 229 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 1: teams can be fractured. He speckles it together. The defense 230 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: loves him as much as the offensive guys. All Right, 231 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: we are thankful dot dot dot for Patrick Mahomes. We're 232 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: also thankful and I'm gonna tell you, I'm gonna before 233 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: I transition to Kelsey here, thankful for how far Patrick 234 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: has come. Because let's go back to the Rams game 235 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, and we mentioned that winning is the 236 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: key thing. His career high was in the Monday night 237 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: football game at the Coliseum against the Rams and a 238 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: fifty four fifty one loss, but he threw two interceptions 239 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: in that game and lost two fumbles and the Chiefs 240 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: lost fifty four fifty one, and yet that's the game 241 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: he had four hundred and seventy eight yards. But now 242 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: he would rather have I don't know, two eighty nine 243 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: and win, which is what he has done. So he 244 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: has come that far to me in his career, which 245 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: is spectacular. It just shows real growth over time because 246 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: in that game, it's obvious he's incredibly talented, right, I 247 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: mean the Chiefs in the Rams. That was one of 248 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: the best games of the year and we came up 249 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: on the short end of it. But incredible game, amazing player, 250 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: that is obvious. But how do you take that and 251 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: find ways to get better? Every single year? That was 252 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: the question, like how can Patrick Mahomes possibly get better? 253 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: And people were looking at it in the scope of 254 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: how can he possibly throw full more touchdowns? How can 255 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: he possibly throw full more yards? That's not necessarily it 256 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: and the numbers have been good obviously every single year, 257 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: But what we wanted to see from him was can 258 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: you take that performance and take it one level higher 259 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: where you know the exact read you need to make, 260 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: or you know the decision you need to make, or 261 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: maybe instead of throwing it deep down field, you take 262 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: the checkdown ten yards down the field, you know, And 263 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: he's found a way to be the master of that. 264 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: And that's the irony I think of Super Bowl fifty 265 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: five because give the Bucks credit. They had an amazing 266 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: game plan against the Chiefs, and all year long last 267 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: year we were dealing with the two high safety shell coverages, 268 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: right but now you're seeing that all over the NFL, 269 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: and the Chiefs essentially got a head start on it, 270 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes being the football mind that he is 271 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: in Andy Reid, of course, they find a way to 272 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: attack it. And I think they are even better now 273 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: than they were years ago when the offense is putting 274 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: up all those points and through eleven weeks this season, 275 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: it's the number one scoring offense and I believe, for 276 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: the first time in this season the number one total 277 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: offense as well. So if you're any team in the 278 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: NFL right now, you're looking at the Chiefs and just 279 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: saying they're better now than they've ever been. How did 280 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: this happen? That is true? Now. A lot of you 281 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: in the States are listening to us driving on Thanksgiving weekend. 282 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: This is one of the biggest travel. If we're taping 283 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: this on a Wednesday and a lot of you are 284 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: listening to it traveling around visiting loved ones, please be 285 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 1: safe on the roads, especially over the next forty eight 286 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: to seventy two hours when there is so much traffic 287 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: on the roads, And we pray and hope for a 288 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: great travel for you if you're going by air as well. 289 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: But it leads me into my second point because it's 290 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. Okay, I'm driving home. We've beaten the chargers, 291 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: we land. I don't know the time you got home. 292 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: I got home at five thirty. But on my commute home, 293 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: it's about five fifteen in the morning, and I'm listening 294 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: to late night early morning national radio, which can be 295 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: damaging to your brain, and they're talking about tight ends 296 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: and I'm hearing that, Hey, I think Shannon Sharpe was 297 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: the greatest receiving tight end in NFL history by I 298 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: don't know, Elmer Splurcas. And he's talking about real Romanowski 299 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: bringing you know, pharmaceuticals to the and I'm like, I 300 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: almost drove off the road. It's five fifteen in the morning, 301 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: I've had little sleep, and I'm like, where do I 302 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: call into this guy, like, are you serious, Travis Kelsey? 303 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: Thankful for dot dot dot Travis Kelsey. We know thirty 304 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: three one hundred yard receiving games, most in NFL history 305 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: for a tight end. This game, this game, this game 306 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: coming up against the Rams, he could eclipse ten thousand 307 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: receiving yards. But don't talk to me about comparing him 308 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: any more to Shannon Sharp or Greg Olson or any 309 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: of these guys. He's just blown them all out of 310 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: the water. And this year, when you look at the stats, 311 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: he's lapping the field of tight ends, including Mark Andrews 312 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: and others. And those are all great players, no disrespect 313 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: to them, great players. Travis Kelsey is in a league 314 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: of his own. I mean, we've never seen this before. 315 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: Now forgive me, I'm pretty sure this is correct. I 316 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: did this at like two in the morning last night. 317 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: But Travis Kelsey has eight hundred and fifty five receiving 318 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: yards this year, closing in on a seventh consecutive thousand 319 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: yards season. These are the players in NFL history who 320 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: I believe have had seven consecutive one thousand yards seasons. 321 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: Jerry Rice, Jimmy Smith, Tim Brown, Mike Evans, Brandon Marshall, Reggie, 322 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: Wayne Tory Holt, Marvin Harrison, Chris Carter, and Lance Alworth. 323 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: That's it, And what's the common denominator? Involve those as 324 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: exact some of the greatest wide receivers of all time. 325 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: So think about that. That is the class of player 326 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: that Travis Kelsey is in. He is the most receiving 327 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: yards in the NFL since twenty sixteen. It's consistent brilliance 328 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: every single year. You just know what he's going to do. 329 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: He's been amazing this year. Obviously. He has fifty three 330 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: catches this year that have gone for first downs, most 331 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: in the NFL. In fifteen of his first time receptions 332 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: this year have occurred on third down, that second most 333 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Chris A. Lava has won more on 334 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: the Saints, but leads the NFL on touchdown catches with eleven. 335 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: I believe he's seventh and receiving or sixth, sorry sixth 336 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: in receiving yards this year. I mean, he's obviously a 337 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Famer when it's all said and done, 338 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: and I think we both believe. Patrick even staid it 339 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: after the game. I think he is the greatest tight 340 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: end to ever do it, and we've never seen the 341 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: player of this caliber before do this numbers wise, and 342 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: also in the biggest of moments. You know, we were 343 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: talking about how Mahomes has all the numbers but also 344 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: the big moments and comes through in the clutch. Is 345 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: anyone more clutch in this game than Travis Kelsey in 346 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: terms of receivers the NFL. When the Chiefs needed a 347 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 1: guy consistently against the Chargers the Chargers were fighting for 348 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: their season, it was Travis Kelsey. All three of us 349 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: touchdowns gave the Chiefs the lead, including the game winner 350 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: with thirty seconds left, and again could eclipse ten thousand 351 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: receiving yards this week against the Rams. And if you 352 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: know Nan Knucklehand, who was husting that show, send him 353 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: an email direct message going dude, what are you thinking? 354 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: But I got back on the road and I was fine. 355 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: All right, Finally we're going to close it this way, 356 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: thankful for And I don't want to leave the defense 357 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: out of this at all, because Chris Jones is having 358 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: an amazing year, one of the best Buck Buchanan kind 359 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: of year and the number one rated defensive player in 360 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus. And we've seen this defense grow and 361 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: grow but Andy Reid. Thankful for dot dot dot Andy Reid. 362 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: Let's just take one thing as it pertains to this week, 363 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: because we can talk about bye weeks, we can talk 364 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: about rematches, we can talk about division dominance, not just 365 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 1: what he's done here with the AFC West, but what 366 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: he did with the Eagles in the NFC East, and 367 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: that is cross pollinating against the NFC. We've talked about 368 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: it before. People don't talk about it enough. Fourteen straight 369 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: wins by Andy Reid against NFC teams. Fourteen straight. The 370 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 1: last time the chief quarterback by Patrick Mahomes lost to 371 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 1: an NFC team was in December of twenty eighteen at Seattle. Now, 372 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: there was a loss in twenty nineteen that Patrick Mahomes 373 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: did not play in against the Green Bay Packers. He 374 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: was injured in that game. But Andy Reid fourteen straight 375 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: wins against the NFC could be fifteen this week. Speaking 376 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: of consistent brilliance, right, I mean, what he's done in 377 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: his career is unprecedented and it's remarkable, and to be 378 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: this good every single year is incredible. And I think 379 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: in the presser earlier today, before Coach Reid came out, 380 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: some of the media was talking about this, and I 381 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: think it was a really good point. If you look 382 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: at the Rams this year, their team led by a 383 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 1: very good head coach and Sean McVay, very good players, right, 384 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 1: Galen Ramsey, Aaron Donald, and at quarterback when he's healthy, 385 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford's a dan good quarterback. I mean, let them 386 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: do a Super Bowl championship. And the Rams are usually 387 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: pretty good Cooper Cooper cup Absolutely, they're usually pretty good. 388 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: This year they're three and seven, not having the year 389 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: that they expected. And that's pretty normal in the NFL, 390 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: that you're going to be really good sometimes not so 391 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: good other times, and it's a roller coaster, right, and 392 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: you ride that. It's hard to win in the NFL. 393 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: It puts in perspective what coach Reid is doing in 394 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: Kansas City, where every single year we are assuming that 395 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,719 Speaker 1: we're going to be in the playoffs, we feel very 396 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,239 Speaker 1: good about our chances in the division, and we are 397 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,199 Speaker 1: expecting to host the AFC Championship game. Think about that, 398 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: I mean, think how it's how special that is. And 399 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: of course the players are the ones that are on 400 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: the field doing it, but it all starts with coach 401 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: read and the foundation and the culture that he has 402 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: created here and again, we're just so fortunate that he's 403 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: leading this team and the captain of this ship, because 404 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: none of this happens without coach read He and I 405 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: talked about this actually earlier in the week and a 406 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: one on one, and I'm gonna ask him about it 407 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: on pregame. If you listen into the radio pregame, show 408 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: this very thing. Because he's now twenty four years as 409 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: a head coach in this league. There's one or two 410 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: those late years in Philly, but other than that, and 411 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: you mentioned the ten years here to win consistently. He 412 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: has talked about how the league goes out of its 413 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: way even more so to create parody in the league. 414 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: That's what the NFL wants. They want parody that all 415 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: thirty two cities feel like they have a chance. Okay, 416 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: here are the Rams. If they lose this game, they 417 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: will be three and eight. It will be the worst 418 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: year after a Super Bowl championship year in the history 419 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,239 Speaker 1: of the league in a non strike year. There was 420 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: a strike team. Trying to think who it was the 421 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six to eighty seven, but it was a 422 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: strike year. They ended up going in three and eight. 423 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: The Broncos in nineteen ninety nine were three and seven 424 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 1: after Elway retired, but they won the next game. They 425 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 1: won the eleventh week to go four and seven. If 426 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: the Rams lose this game, they go three and eight, 427 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: You're going wow and Cooper coup Matthew Stafford eleven different 428 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 1: combinations on the offensive line. Let's go back to the 429 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: age old year of twenty nineteen when the Chiefs lost 430 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes for two games. Two games they beat the 431 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 1: Vikings with Matt Moore at quarterback. The infrastructure of Clark Hunt, 432 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: Andy Reid, Brett, Veach, Mark Donovan, the vertical and horizontal 433 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: strength and infrastructure of this team right now is unparalleled 434 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. We are losing five out 435 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: of six games in twenty seventeen. Coach Read is a 436 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 1: master troubleshooter. Don't blink, don't flinch. I remember he's looking 437 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: at me. In twenty seventeen, we're in the throws of 438 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: this flues in five out of six, got beat twelve 439 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: to nine by the Giants. He goes, I'll fix it. 440 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: He just looked at me in the eyes. I don't 441 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: have to say where he goes. I'll fix it. We'll 442 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: fix it. Yeah, so underrated as a head coach, particularly 443 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: when things go off the rails, He'll fix it. Think 444 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: about what was it twenty fifteen, are one in five, 445 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: make the playoffs and win a playoff game. I think 446 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: about twenty twenty in the Divisional round against the Browns. 447 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: You lose Patrick Mahomes to a concussion. In that game, 448 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: Chad Henny goes in, No one panics, find a way 449 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: to win the football game. Let's Chad Henny throw the 450 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 1: ball on fourth down late in the game, only up 451 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 1: a handful of points. The Chiefs win that game. And 452 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: I think about the game against the Chargers on Sunday night. 453 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: You have no Micole Harman, no Jujuice, miss Suster, no 454 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 1: Kadarius Tony early in that game, no problem. Are going 455 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: to find a way with Skymore and Justin Watson and 456 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: mvs and Jody Fortson. We're going to find a way 457 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: with these guys. And there's never any panic. And he 458 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: provides that culture, that stability, and that framework every single 459 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: time the Chiefs take the field. And as a sports fan, 460 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: one thing I've always said with my teams is I 461 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: just want to be competitive and have a chance. Every 462 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 1: single time that coach read leads his football team out 463 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: on the field, they have a chance. And that's all 464 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: you can ever ask for as a sports fan. He 465 00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: does not blink, he does not flinch, He will never 466 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: an excuse, and that's why he is in many ways. 467 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: If Kelsey's maybe the most underrated player at least top 468 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 1: five in the history of the league, Andy Reid truly 469 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: is probably the most underrated coach ever in the history 470 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: of this league when you really think about it. All right, 471 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 1: we are thankful for a lot of things. I'm thankful 472 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: for you man, thankful for you with you every day man, 473 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: for our families, and for all of you in the 474 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: chiefs Kingdom. Please have a very safe, wonderful and special 475 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving weekend. And yes, we are thankful for a lot 476 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: tous down and the celebration begins in their hand.
