00:00Atlanta 1 and 2, although they haven't looked terrible and probably should be 2 and 1, but

00:09the Chiefs championship team, Donnie, finds a way to win football games.

00:15And that's what Casey did on the road, Sunday night football in the ATL 2217 covering as

00:21a three point road favorite.

00:23There's been a lot about the Chiefs not being a great cover team because they are the favorite

00:27each and every week, virtually it would seem, favored now in 20 of 23 games since the start

00:33of last year.

00:34They're 11, 8, and 1 against the spread, and the defense comes through last night against

00:40the Falcons.

00:41A fourth and inches stop inside Casey's 15 yard line.

00:46Under a minute remaining, Nick Bolton makes the play against Bijon Robinson to seal the

00:50deal for Casey.

00:52It was tremendous, and again, I'm going to get to my original point here in a second,

00:56but the focus on that Kansas City defense where you know you have to shut down Bijon

00:59Robinson, 16 carries for 31 yards.

01:02That was absolutely tremendous, and really, the only guy that got going was Ray McLeod's

01:05one carry for 20 yards, but he's a wide receiver.

01:08So just from that running back room, the Chiefs were tremendous.

01:10That's what they do under Spagnuolo, but if we rewind the tapes to the summer where everybody

01:14asked me the same question, Donnie, who's the best team in the NFL?

01:17It's the Chiefs.

01:18If that Patrick Mahomes is healthy, Andy Reid is on the sideline, I don't care who they're

01:22playing against or they have in their backfield or lineup at wide receiver.

01:26It's the biggest unfair advantage in the NFL, which used to be playing on the road on Thursday

01:30at football.

01:31No, it's just playing the Chiefs.

01:32It's not fair.

01:34All they do is win because they have the best player in football, and maybe once it's said

01:37and done, the history of football and Patrick Mahomes.
