00:00there's a growing sentiment amongst just football fans i think and people that cover football that

00:06this is the year that the kansas city chiefs kind of take a step back or a couple steps back

00:13possibly and the year year two of harbaugh obviously in la with the charges i'm a huge

00:19harbour guy and i do love justin herbert as well he does have to win a playoff game before we start

00:25talking about him in the same you know conversations as alan and and burrow and jackson and all and

00:30mahomes but he's got all the tools uh to be one of those guys i'm not telling you the charges are

00:35going to win tonight's game but i am telling you that kansas city is not just going to breeze through

01:26will be more motivated off of the super bowl disaster in which he played arguably his worst

01:30game as a pro but i also believe at some point when you're that good for that long other teams

01:37eventually close the gap i don't think the raiders have closed the gap i really don't but i do think

01:44the chargers have i do think the broncos have you know with bo nix at quarterback so on kansas city

01:50might wind up winning the division i'm not saying it's off the table i do think they're a lock for

01:55the playoffs whether it's a wild card or not i think that gap has been closed and i think whether it's

02:00the chargers or broncos there's a chance we have a new division winner i do
