We got to talk Monday night football.
My Tampa Bay Buccaneers went into the champs house, Kansas City Chiefs.
They got so close, so close, so freaking close.
But the champs, the champ Kyle always get on here and say the champions and the great teams always find a way to win in Kansas City.
Although this is not the most explosive team we’ve seen, although this is not the most dominant team we’ve seen.
This team is finding a way to win.
It was just one of those November gritty Monday night football games, but the champs came out on top, man.
And the most impressive thing to me was Patrick Mahomes having 11 completions on third down.
That’s insane, man.
When you got a guy like that on your team being coached by a coach like Andy Reid and he’s throwing to a player like Travis Kelsey who had 14 catches last night and then on the other side of the ball, you got Chris Jones over there.
It’s like, man, what do we do with this team?
My bucks fall hard.
They fought hard, man.
You go into a hostile environment.
You don’t have your two top offensive weapons.
The thing I love about Baker, he’s got one of the biggest hearts you ever be around?
He never quits.
He fights until the clock is all zeros.
But, uh, it was a hard fought game, you know, they deserve all the credit.
Well, as a Falcons fan, shout out to the Kansas City Chiefs, whatever.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
It’s been a tough seven years.
No playoff appearances.
That was, that was a good win for the Chiefs last night.
But I think what the Chiefs are doing this year is kind of remarkable.
I still kind of feel like they’re the best team in the league.
I still trust this team so much.
And even when the score was kind of slipping away from them early on, they do this thing where they just five yards at a time.
They just, there’s no explosive plays really, they’re just, you know, nickel and diamond down the field.
And next thing, you know, they’re in the red zone and they have a chance to score.
Deandre Hopkins, looks like a real difference maker for that team, but I will say I was a little concerned about the Chiefs defense last night, maybe that’s something to watch moving forward for the Chiefs defense.
But overall, man, this team’s eight and zero and we talk about them sometimes like the world’s falling
