Chiefs are Super Bowl Team! – Stephen A. calls Mahomes offense has no WEAKNESS after MNF win

now. Okay. The Chiefs cruised past the Commanders on Monday Night Football. Patrick Mahomes threw for nearly 300 yards and three touchdowns. And the defense was just this dominant, not allowing Washington to score at all in the second half. The result was a 28-7 win for the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, the Chiefs continue to march back from their 0 and2 start to their season. Since then, they won five of their last six games with each win coming by double digits. So, let’s start with you, Jeff. Saturday. Yeah. What did the Chiefs prove to you last night? Um, inevitability, right? It’s coming through Kansas City and and when you think about how good this offense has gotten uh really in the last three weeks or so and and you’ve seen all the pieces and parts, right? Like the the injury to Worthy, him getting healthy, Rice coming back from suspension, what he’s done the last couple weeks. Mahomes Kelsey last night I thought I call it like sneaky old man like like sneaky old man tennis which I know you love to play. That’s what Kelsey plays, right? Like he’s a great teammate. He’s willing to throw the rub in. He’s willing to to block for a little bit and then leak out and catch it, but he’s ready to lead plays. Everybody on this football team is so unselfish. And when you see that type of performance from the Chiefs, you know it’s going to all come down to Momes, whoever the hot team. Obviously, I think the Colts are the best team in the NFL right now. The scariest team still the Chiefs. Like you just, you know, and Spags gets a lead. You said it. They shut they shut the Commanders down. I get no Jane Gangles. It’s still a They gave up they had two turnovers in the first half and still only gave up seven points. This team is it feels inevitable that they’re going to be back in I’m not saying the Super Bowl, but back in the action again. It’s unreal. Yeah, for me the Chiefs proved last night that they are one of the two best teams in the AFC. It’s Kansas City, Indianapolis, draw line, and then everybody else. What Patrick Mahomes is doing is otherworldly. Stephen A. Last night marked his third straight game with three plus passing touchdowns. Last time he did that was the 2021 season when he had Tyreek Hill on the roster, right? He leads the league in passing yards and completions outside of the pocket. So, his ability to be able to extend it down takes this offense from Talk about he does. He’s not a quote runner. He’s not like a duel, but outside the pocket, he leads the league in passing yards and completions outside of the pocket. That’s unreal, which makes him a cheat code for Andy Reed, and it’s frustrating for defensive linemen and opposing defensive coordinators because you can’t plan for the improvisation that Mahomes brings to the party last night. The distribution and touches, four different four different runners with designed runs, catches by six different receivers. You don’t know where it’s coming from with the Kansas City Chiefs. And the scary proposition about this team, doggy, is that the offense is not even the best phase of the football team. Right. Jeff Saturday just told you the game was decided early on when the Washington Commanders had three straight possessions plus 40 and got zero points out of it. That defense, while they don’t have guard stats, they don’t make a lot of mistakes, not a lot of blown assignments, don’t allow explosive plays, and they’re sure tacklers. That is why the Kansas City Chiefs are inevitable and why we should expect them in the championship round. Well, I had the over, so I didn’t need those plays at the 40. 48, Steve. 48. And he’s down the field. Go. Uh, Mark, throw the ball in the end zone a couple of times. Jeez, they throw me crazy. Uh, but you know, here I throw a little cold water on it. And I generally agree with the both of what you said. You both know much more about He knows a little something about offensive football. You know a lot about defensive football. So, the both of you know more about it than I do, but I’ll say one thing about the Chiefs. They haven’t played Denver yet, right? They got them twice. One’s on Christmas night, which would be a big game. Denver can’t see Christmas night. They got the Colts at home. And this is a hard game this week in Buffalo. Yes. So, they got and they’ve already lost three games, right? So, you know, they don’t they’re two back of the Colts for the home field. They lose to Buffalo this week. They’d be two and a half back of them because the Bills only have two losses. So they still got a lot of work to do for sure to put them in a situation where they don’t have to play a wild card game and they get home field and everything else. But I understand they can win on the road. I’m not I’m not worried about that. But what’s crazy about that is this is the first week that they are in the play like they would they they would be in the playoffs which is which is insane, right? I mean you’re talking about the Kansas City Chiefs and it took them eight weeks through the year to get into the playoff hunt. But again, you’re you’re watching this team form and it’s it’s last night was impressive. I find myself very disappointed in the Oh, here we go. At this point, I can’t wait. I just do. I just do. I just do. Okay, let me let me throw this out first. They started out 0 and2. They won five of their last six. When I’m looking at them offensively, first in yards per game at 415.8, third in scoring at 30.8 points per game since Xavier Worthy returned in week four. Kansas City deserves props for that. Over the last three games, they’ve outscored their opponents 89 to 24. Who are those three opponents? Agreed. They got the Lions, okay, which had some injuries. Which has some injuries. And then after that, the Raiders and the Commanders without Jayen Daniels, okay, and and and Noah Brown. I’m like, come on, y’all. I mean, over the last two weeks, who have they really really played, right? And so, we have to look at it from that. I expect Sergeant Friday, aka Jeff Sad. I expect Chris Kanty who wakes America up in the morning. Number one number one dude in the morning in America. Number one dude in the morning in America. All right. I expect I expect a full critique. I expect you guys to sit up there and say, “Let’s hold the horses cuz they got Buffalo coming up this week.” Okay. Let’s see what they do against Josh Allen and the crew. I don’t expect everybody to be sitting there bloiating about what they did against the Commanders and the Raiders last week. Okay. Okay. You you gave up seven points over the last two weeks. That’s why you got one of the top rated defenses right now because you went against two teams that can’t score. I mean, that’s what happened. We all know that. Who a who ain’t gonna stop the who ain’t gonna stop stop Marcus Mariota right now? Who ain’t going to stop Gino Smith and the Raiders right now? I mean, I expect my man Cece, he terrorizes people from 6:00 a.m. I mean, every just terrorizing stuff. You you say you on 8 a.m. 8 a.m. acting like you doing an A-list at 8 a.m. the pancakes and everything. But you come on first take and I dare say y’all were a little bit too nice. No, I mean I just I’m just just spreading sprinkling flowers all over the place and Indie the number one team for sure. That ain’t changed. I’m just saying the point that I’m making to you. You you sitting road through Kansas City. Wait a minute. I’m looking at Indie and I’m going like this. That ain’t that ain’t who the Chiefs played the last two weeks. Agreed. Okay. Agreed. I will say this. I will say this. They had they missed two offensive linemen. Kansas City did last last night. And they and they still play. You saw how much time they gave uh Patrick Mahomes. I don’t care who you’re playing. That’s tough. And and Washington played him man early and they got him out of man in the second half. I think that what I was impressed with was a slow start with the two interceptions, one off of Kelsey’s hands and then you watch the progression of them go back to work. I think that’s the part that we all go that’s the Chiefs because of Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. Listen, we can say whatever we want. Patrick Mahomes makes the incredible look common and that is just a hard thing to overcome because when it comes down to big games and big moments, it feels like those guys find ways to make plays. Somebody has to unseat the champ. You love You love combat sports at some point. I’m not saying it’s that they’re going to people have to travel to Kansas City, but you’re going to have to knock them out. It ain’t going to be they ain’t gonna give up and just go by because they got some tough games. They’re going to be there in the mix and that’s going to be tough for anybody. Yeah. I mean, here’s the thing. Who has the number one seed in the AFC may very well come down to this next stretch of games for the Chiefs over the next month of football. They got three opponents, the Bills, the Broncos, and the Colts. A by-week sandwiched in between that. That’s right. It how they handle this stretch to determine whether or not they have a chance to be here. Here’s what I will say. If I’m the Indianapolis Colts, every game is a priority because I want to make sure that the road to the Super Bowl comes through our house. I do not want to be Indie and I’m stuck putting Daniel Jones in a situation where you got a quarterback at Arrowhead Stadium in a major playoff situation. I want that game in Indie. No doubt. That to me should be their number one priority. It should be lock focused on that doggy. Uh, listen, I’m Jeff, take it easy on the Colts. What? They beat Tennessee twice. They beat Miami. They beat the Raiders. These are those are the four worst teams in the league. They beat Denver and they should have lost because that leverage penalty was a terrible call. They should have won. I understand. But I’m going to have a little Okay, so take the Rams. They should have won the Rams game when Okay. All right. So, they’re still They still got one. beat Tennessee.
