Chiefs have ‘critical’ AFC West game against Broncos in Week 11 | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

UM, YEAH. UH, IN THE ARE TO BE COMPETITIVE. NOW, IF THEY PLAY LIKE THEY DID LAST NIGHT, THEY’RE NOT GOING TO BEAT THE GREAT TEAMS IN THE AFC, BUT THEY HAVEN’T HAD TO PLAY ANY. ALL THEY HAVE TO PLAY IS WHAT THEIR SCHEDULE IS, AND THEY’VE WON 7 IN A ROW. HERE’S SEAN. PAYTON, FROM LAST NIGHT ON THE UGLY VICTORY, OVER THE RAIDERS, THAT MOVED THE BRONCOS TO 8 AND SEAN AGAIN, YOU KNOW, AS YOU’VE SAID, YOUR RECORD SAYS WHO, WHO YOU ARE. EXACTLY RIGHT. BUT ARE YOU GONNA SAY? BUT WHAT KNOW WHAT’S YOUR QUESTION? ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH THE SCRIPT OF JUST KIND OF HOW COACHES? BUT THERE’S NO BUTTS. SO YOU’RE ASKING. AM I COMFORTABLE AS A COACH? WE’RE NEVER SATISFIED. IF MY ANSWER WERE TO YOU, I’M COMFORTABLE. THAT’D BE SILLY, RIGHT? SO, UM, OBVIOUSLY, WE GOT TO, WE GOT TO, WE GOT TO CLEAN UP THE PENALTIES. WE GOT TO CLEAN UP SOME OF THE EXECUTION AND, AND THAT IS AN ONGOING THING THAT PROBABLY NEVER ENDS. THERE’S, YOU KNOW, YOU SURE YOU SEARCH FOR THAT SHANGRILA? UM RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW WE’RE TEAM SITTING AT 8 WINS I THINK. UH WE’RE THE ONLY TEAM SITTING THERE. SO. UM AND YET WE’RE WE’RE CONSTANTLY LOOKING, UH, INTERNALLY AND STARTING, YOU KNOW. BUT THAT WAS A IT WAS A TOUGH NIGHT OFFENSIVELY OBVIOUSLY. THEY ARE THE ONLY TEAM IN THE NFL WITH 8 WINS AND OF COURSE HE’S NOT COMFORTABLE, BUT THAT’S THE THING. IF THEY HAD WON 55 TO 10 LAST NIGHT, THERE WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT BOTHERS HIM AND HE WOULD HAVE BEEN FAR MORE INCLINED AFTER A GAME LIKE THAT TO FIND A REASON TO CHEW ON SOMEONE SO THEY DON’T GET SOFT. THIS IS THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS FOR HIM. HE GETS THE WIN AND IT’S SUFFICIENTLY UGLY THAT HE CAN TAKE PRIVATELY, PRACTICE FIELD MEETING ROOM, RED HOT POKER BECAUSE WHAT’S COMING NEXT? THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS WHO ARE OFF THIS WEEK SO THEY’VE GOT EXTRA TIME TO GET READY FOR THE DENVER THEY’VE, THEY’VE GOT A RENDEVOUS AS ROCKY BALBOA WOULD SAY. COMING UP HERE IN WEEK 11 IN DENVER. HEY, DENVER FANS WHEN YOU SHOW UP FOR THAT 1 MAYBE YOUR EXPECTATION. SHOULDN’T BE QUITE SO HIGH. HAVE HAVE A LOWER BAR. THE BAR WILL GO TO STOP THE BULLYING, BECAUSE IT’S NOT GOING TO BE EASY AGAINST THE CHIEFS AND IF IT IS BE HAPPY ABOUT IT. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT BEYOND THAT? I MEAN, THERE’S STILL SOME THEY GOT THE RAIDERS AGAIN. YEAH. THEY GOT THE COMMANDERS. YEAH. OKAY. THERE’S SOME TOUGH GAMES THOUGH. DOWN THE STRETCH PACKERS JAGUARS CHIEFS CHARGERS. THAT WON’T BE EASY, THEY GOT A STRONG KICK AT THE END, THEY DO. AND I THINK ALL WILL BE FORGIVEN AND I KNOW WE’LL TALK ABOUT IT NEXT WEEK BECAUSE IT’S A SAY JUST BRIEFLY ABOUT CHIEFS BRONCOS, ALL WILL BE FORGIVEN. THEY CAN FIGURE OUT A WAY TO, TO BEAT THE CHIEFS KNOW. WELL, LAST YEAR, THEY REMEMBER, YOU KNOW, KANSAS CITY HAD ALL THOSE CLOTHES WINS 1 OF THEM WAS A A WIN OVER THE BRONCOS WHERE IT LOOKED LIKE THE BRONCOS WERE JUST ABOUT TO WIN THIS GAME. HEY, KICK A FIELD GOAL THE CHIEFS BLOCKED, THE KICK AND THEY GET ANOTHER VICTORY THERE. SO SEAN PAYTON HAS THEM IN A POSITION WHERE THEY’VE SEEN IT. THAT, HEY, WE CAN WE CAN TAKE ON KANSAS CITY, WE CAN COMPETE WITH THEM. IT’S HUGE GAME ABLE TO WIN IT, WE FINALLY HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE, IT’S NOT THE SAME OLD CHIEFS WHO ARE GOING TO FIGURE IT OUT IN THE END I MEAN THAT WOULD BE IF THEY WERE TO LOSE THAT’S 5 LOSSES AND THAT WOULD BE YOU KNOW 8 STRAIGHT WINS FOR THE BRONCOS, INCLUDING A WIN OVER THE CHIEFS, THAT’D BE TOUGH TO OVERCOME SO THAT 1, NEXT WEEK. THERE WAS A FASCINATING WRINKLE FROM THAT GAME LAST YEAR BETWEEN THE BRONCOS AND THE CHIEFS AT KANSAS CITY, THAT IT FELT LIKE THE BRONCOS HAD WON. THERE WAS SOME SORT OF SCOUTING. BASED ON HOW THE GUY WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BLOCKING, THE DEFENDERS WAS LINED UP, THEY KNEW THEY COULD BLOW THROUGH HIM. THERE WAS A WEAKNESS THERE AND THEY EXPLOITED IT AND THEY BLASTED THROUGH AND BLOCKED THE KICK AND SAVED THE WIN. AND THOSE ARE THE GAMES THAT WAS THE WAY THE CHIEFS WOULD WIN LAST YEAR. AND THAT MAGIC SEEMS TO BE GONE. THEY’RE GOING TO NEED SOMETHING THAT’S A HELL OF A GAME. I DON’T. YEAH. GREAT KNOW WITHOUT CHECKING THE OTHER GAMES NEXT WEEK. I KNOW THAT WE’VE GOT A GREAT SUNDAY NIGHT GAME BETWEEN THE LINES AND THE EAGLES IN PHILADELPHIA AND WE’LL BE THERE FOR IT. BUT CHIEFS BRONCOS, VERY COMPELLING BECAUSE THE BRONCOS ARE TRYING. I SAW, LIKE I THINK IT WAS BLEACHER REPORT. THAT ASKED THE QUESTION LAST NIGHT ON SOCIAL MEDIA ARE THE BRONCOS ABOUT TO NAIL DOWN THE AFC WEST? NO, NO. THERE’S 7 GAMES LEFT FOR THEM AND THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE CHARGERS AND THE CHIEFS, THEY’RE NOT ABOUT READY. THEY’RE NOT READY TO CLINCH. THEY HAVE A LONG WAY CLINCH. BUT THEY ARE IN POSITION WHERE THEY COULD GET SOME SEPARATION AND THEY COULD MAYBE MAYBE BEGIN THE PROCESS OF DISTANCING THEMSELVES FROM THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS. THAT’S THAT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT GAME OF THE YEAR FOR THE CHIEFS SO FAR. NEXT WEEK, THAT’S CRITICAL. CRITICAL GAME FOR KANSAS CITY CHIEFS COMING UP IN WEEK, 11 MUST-WIN FOR THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS. IF THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS LOSE THAT GAME AND CORRECT ME IF I’M WRONG BECAUSE MY BRAIN DOES NOT WANT TO PROCESS IT. IN FACT, I’M GOING TO MULTITASK HERE IN CHECK. THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS 5 AND 4. IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCEPT THAT, THEY’RE 5 AND 4, AND IF THEY LOSE TO THE BRONCOS NEXT WEEK THEY WILL BE 5 AND 5 WITH 7 GAMES TO GO THE MIGHTY CHIEFS WHO HAVE BEEN TO 3 STRAIGHT SUPER BOWLS WHO HAVE NEVER HAD AN OUTCOME TO THE SEASON WITH PATRICK MAHOMES IS THE STARTING QUARTERBACK WORSE THAN LOSING IN OVERTIME OF THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP. THAT’S THE FLOOR. FOR THE MAHOMES LED CHIEFS, THEY COULD BE 5 AND 5. THOSE ARE THE STAKES OF NEXT. AND DENVER. WE WE WE MAY HAVE TO GET OUR BRAINS ACQUAINTED WITH THE POSSIBILITY. WE DON’T EVEN KNOW THAT THE WORDS WILL FORMULATE VIA MY VOCAL CORDS. MY BRAIN MAY NOT ALLOW THE MESSAGES TO GET TO MY TONGUE. MY MY TEETH, MY VOCAL CORDS IN MY LIPS BUT MICHAEL COULD. CHIEFS. THE PLAYOFFS KNOW. IN, I’LL JUST SAY EVEN IF THEY HARD TO YOU TALKING ABOUT PROCESSING. IT’S HARD TO IMAGINE A A PATRICK MAHOMES TEAM NOT WINNING THE DIVISION. SO, THEY WON THE DIVISION EVERY SEASON OF HIS CAREER. SO YES, YOU GOT TO THINK ABOUT THEM AS DIVISION CHAMPIONS. SO TAKE THAT AWAY AND LET’S SAY THEY DON’T WIN THE DIVISION AND THEY GET INTO THE PLAYOFFS. EVEN IF THEY GET IN AS THE 7 SEED, THE 7 SEED ON THE ROAD PLAYING THE 2 SEED. WHOEVER IT IS. I STILL HAVE A HARD TIME SAYING. KANSAS CITY RIGHT? RIGHT. YOU GOT TO GO, KANSAS CITY. YOU HAVE TO GO WITH KANSAS CITY. STILL IF THEY GET IT TO THE WHAT TO KILL THIS BEAST, YOU GOT TO KEEP THIS BEAST OUT OF THE POSTSEASON. ALL TOGETHER CAN’T ALLOW THEM IN AS A 7 SEED OR OH YEAH, THEY’RE GOING TO BE IN A TOUGH SITUATION. UH, THIS IS NOT A GOOD OPPONENT FOR THEM KNOW, IF THEY GET IN THEY’RE A PROBLEM. I JUST CAN’T IMAGINE THEM NOT GETTING IN, BUT MAYBE I I’LL CHANGE MY MIND. I JUST CAN’T SEE LOOK THERE, THERE ARE SO MANY POSSIBILITIES, BUT THERE IS A WAY THAT THE DOMINOES FALL THAT THE CHIEFS LOSE. AND WHY WOULD THEY LOSE THE TIEBREAKER? BECAUSE OF THE PLAY THAT IS KNOWN BY VARIOUS NAMES. THE DUVAL FALL, THE TRIP 6, THE I’VE FALLEN AND I WEIRD MOMENT THAT WE THOUGHT WAS TURNING THE PAGE PERMANENTLY FOR THE JAGUARS AND THEY LOST 2 IN A ROW BEFORE THEY FINALLY GOT LUCKY AND BEAT THE RAIDERS LAST WEEK, BUT THAT PLAY COULD BE THE THING. THAT KEEPS THE CHIEFS OUT. NOW, THE JAGUARS GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP WINNING BUT WHO KNOWS HOW MANY THEY HAVE TO WIN. THEY’RE 5 AND 3 RIGHT NOW AND THE CHIEFS ARE 5 AND 4. IT’S NOT EVEN A TIEBREAKER YET. SO THAT MAY THAT MAY BE BECAUSE LOOK PATRIOTS BILLS, THEY’RE BOTH GETTING IN THE BRONCOS CHARGERS. IF THINGS CONTINUE THE WAY THEY’VE GONE. THEY’RE BOTH GETTING IN. THERE’S ONLY GOING TO BE LEFT. AND YOU GOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE STEELERS OR THE RAVENS IF THEY’RE BOTH IMPROVING. AND THEN YOU’VE GOT ALSO WORRIED ABOUT THE JAGUARS IF YOU’RE THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS. SO, YEAH, THEY MAY NOT GET IN AND THAT MAKES NEXT WEEK’S GAME CRITICAL

  2. Broncos d will keep them in any game lost to the good chargers and colts beat the good eagles they said the cowboys were on fire beat them said the texans were coming up beat them

  4. Every remaining Chiefs game is critical. 3 teams ahead of them in playoff push have beaten them. The MOST critical game is the Indy game.

    Beat Indy and HOPE that the Jags win their division. That way KC actually has tiebreaker over a team that is competing with them. That or run the table and win the division.

    So again. EVERY game they have left is critical because of 2-3 really bad losses in games they should have won. Lets not complicate it.

  7. Notice how the Chiefs are 5-4 and we are 8-2 quite frankly we can play however we feel and your team No matter who will still lose 😂 we simply split the series with Chiefs and we can easily be the reason they don't make it also was in Midhomes allowed to win 17 one score games in a row and get no hate 😂😂😂😂😂

  15. I can’t wait to destroy the Chiefs. The Broncos have the better defense, better running game, better receivers. KC has the better quarterback, of course, but I think the Broncos have their number this time.

  22. The Broncos are going to steam roll KC. Theres a reason Sean Payton is didn’t open up his playbook for the sake of a struggling Raiders team. I know this team and it’s moxy. They’ve been preparing to play the chiefs since the off season..if the chiefs think that Denver’s going into the game playing like they played against the Raiders. Trust me this team is winning the division

  23. The mediocre Chief's won't have any more luck against Denver than any other team. Denver's offense is better than the Manning led SB winning offense of 2015, and their defense is just as good, if not better, than the No Fly Zone. It's a proven, championship winning formula. And if Payton learns how to call plays, and Nix can score 25-30 points a game, they'll be unbeatable.
