00:00I thought yesterday the Kansas City Chiefs would beat the Detroit Lions.

00:04I thought we would have a close game.

00:05And technically we did.

00:06Like all throughout it, it was, you know, score here, score there,

00:09big play here, big play there.

00:10But the one thing we know about the Kansas City Chiefs,

00:12it always runs, Joe, through Patrick Mahomes.

00:1422 of 30, 257, three touchdowns, no interceptions,

00:18and ran 10 more times, and one of those was for a touchdown.

00:22You want to talk about playing a clean game.

00:23It's hard to go through an NFL game and not get a penalty.

00:26Welcome to the Kansas City Chiefs.

00:27It's also hard for the Detroit Lions to have a great offensive

00:29go on the road and really be stymied at times.

00:3223 carries, 98 yards, 4.3 yards per carry,

00:35no touchdowns on the ground, even though got through two touchdowns.

00:38This is what we expect Kansas City to be.

00:40Two and three team, they were masquerading as an under 500 team.

00:43We know they're not.

00:44They're going to get healthy here, but that's a good win.

00:46Detroit's a really good football team.

00:48But I want to start, Joe, with Kansas City.

00:50Your thoughts on the Chiefs' performance last night

00:52and how that pertains to the rest of the season for them.

00:55Not shocking.

00:56You know, the Chiefs were, without a doubt,

00:59one of the best buy-low opportunities of the year so far last night.

01:05At home, coming off a short week in which they shot themselves in the foot,

01:10should have won that game, beat Jacksonville in just about every facet

01:14of that game, putting up nearly 500 yards of offense.

01:17Yeah, the idea that Kansas City is somehow, oh, they're not the team.

01:21They're every bit the team they used to be.

01:24The scary part here is they have reinforcements coming their way, too,

01:29on the offense.

01:31So, yeah, the idea that, you know, it was going to be the Chargers division,

01:36that they were going to run away, or somehow what you get from Denver and Bo Nix,

01:41what you watched yesterday, is somehow going to be good enough to beat this team

01:45come November and December?

01:47I think people are sadly mistaken.

01:49The good news is, Donnie, I think you'll still have,

01:52you'll still have some value on the Chiefs over the next week or so,

01:55but that window is closing quickly here now on the Kansas City Chiefs.

02:00Yeah, and look, they're a good football team.

02:03They're a championship pedigree team.

02:05Sometimes you just don't get off-started to a good start here,

02:07but that's a great victory against the Detroit Lions.

02:09Now, understand this, too.

02:11We talked about this ad nauseum last week, Joe.

02:13Hey, 48s.

02:14The public could not get enough of the 48s, the 49s, the 50s, the 51s,

02:19the 52s, Joe, and the 53s.

02:22Unbelievable good weather conditions, but the one thing you sort of leave out is

02:25Detroit's got a decent defense this year,

02:27even though their secondary was really injured.

02:28Kansas City on the Spagnuolo always has a good defense.

02:31Look at that vaunted offense for the Detroit Lions, Joe.

02:34They didn't even get over 300 yards in that game.

02:37That's a pretty impressive performance from the Chiefs' defense overall.

02:41Very impressive, and it was clear that Detroit's entire goal early was,

02:47we're going to try and wear down this Chiefs' defense here by doing these,

02:51you know, 10, 11, 12, 15.

02:53I mean, the opening drive was 15 plays, which, by the way,

02:56the game would have went over had they went ahead and kept the touchdown to Jared Goff there,

03:03but I don't even know what they called there, some sort of a, or didn't get set,

03:08or some ridiculousness, but they had to settle for a field goal there,

03:13but it should have been a touchdown.

03:14But that was really the end of it there, Donnie.

03:17From that point on, the Chiefs made the adjustments,

03:20and the number one offense in the NFL, right?

03:23This Detroit, oh, we're going to drop 50 on you.

03:26Yeah, they didn't drop 50 on that Chiefs' defense last night at all.
