00:00But you know going back to the the Steelers and Ravens, you know again this this stuff is not decided, right?

00:05I mean Baltimore 11 and 5 has clinched a playoff spot same deal for Pittsburgh at 10 and 6

00:11But both these teams are trying to clinch the division and Mike Tomlin will tell you I think it was Tomlin, right?

00:17Was it Harbaugh John Harbaugh will tell you for?

00:21For Baltimore this this is important to the Ravens

00:25Very significant. I mean, it's definitely a goal

00:28It's one of our our five main goals is to win the division from a team perspective and it's a big deal

00:34It's a tough division. We respect these teams tremendously

00:37I think you saw you saw the games this last weekend. You saw the Bengals, you know, they're still they're still in it

00:43Tells you a lot about the character of the teams in this in this division. So we know we're going to have a tough game

00:48We always do we always do against every team in the division the Browns. We always have these these knockdown dragouts with so

00:55But if we could get it done it would be a great accomplishment

00:59Chiefs Bills Ravens Texans Steelers Chargers have all clinched playoff spots

01:03And again, as we have mentioned many times the final one will go to the Broncos Dolphins or Bengals

01:10Which team has the best chance of that whole group of tripping up Kansas City and preventing Casey for making a third straight Super Bowl?

01:19You know, I think it's still the bills of all the AFC teams that has the best chance because Josh Allen

01:24You know does take us personally and they had that game a few years ago to where it was back and forth

01:29You remember that game?

01:30They just did not quit went to the overtime there and you know, Josh Allen has beaten them in Kansas City

01:36So it's Joe Burrows. There's a finite number of those people. I

01:39Know the the Baltimore Ravens defense since the by's played a little better

01:43But I want to take that with a grain of salt because the Steelers offense is unimpressive and then they play the Giants off the

01:47Bye, so I think people putting a little bit too much stock into that

01:50the thing you want to be able to do with this stage in the game is run the football play defense and

01:55When you're looking at the playoff picture right now

01:58It feels like the Chiefs are in a good place to do that. The Bills defense gives up far too many points against good offenses

02:04I mean they went back-to-back weeks there with the Rams and the Lions where they gave up 90 points almost

02:09I mean that that is that is an incredible amount of points to be giving up at this stage

02:15So, I don't know at a certain point here

02:18I'm looking at this and I'm saying to myself the Chiefs are still the prohibited favorites

02:22I I think that they would be underdogs against the Bills at home. I think my homes will take that personally

02:28I don't think the Chargers are a team that can beat the Chiefs in their building

02:33I am very suspect that the Ravens can beat the Chiefs in that building with the way that defense plays

02:39I'm not enamored of the Bills defense

02:41But Josh Allen does have that weird magic and I think a lot of its mental where you got to go in here

02:46And can you beat the Chiefs? Can you put that team on your back? Joe Burrell can do it. Josh Allen can do it

02:52I'm just not sure if Lamar can do it quite yet because we haven't seen him really do that

02:56But maybe just maybe being the underdog is what Lamar needs. Do you think that might be the secret sauce for the Ravens? I

03:02Would trust the Ravens more if I hadn't seen them in the playoffs last year against the Chiefs completely

03:07Abandoned their game plan and all the things they do well and not run the ball and turn Lamar into a passive
