00:00We are done now with nine weeks of this NFL season, the opening half of an 18-week regular
00:09season officially in the books.
00:11And Scott, at the end of it, there is one team left standing that is perfect.
00:16It's the 8-0 Kansas City Chiefs.
00:18They have covered in five of eight wins, but all three of their non-covers this year have
00:24come when Kansas City has laid more than six and a half points.
00:27In fact, a six and a half point favorite four times in eight games, just one and three against
00:34the number.
00:35But Scott, as we look back on last night against the Buccaneers, it was perhaps Patrick Mahomes'
00:39best game of the season.
00:41The first time in any of the eight for Casey, he did not throw an interception.
00:46He threw for 291 yards, three touchdowns, two of the three to DeAndre Hopkins in his
00:52second ever game in a Kansas City uniform in 14 grabs last night for Travis Kelsey.
01:00That proven veteran experience and that prolific connection remains despite a slow start to
01:05this season for Kelsey.
01:08So again, the Chiefs are 8-0.
01:11And last night, although the defense didn't stand tall, as they have in many, many games
01:16this season, the Chiefs still end with a victory and a big one over the Buccaneers.
01:21Yeah, you can make the case, Ben, that's maybe their best offensive performance, right?
01:25You got Mahomes thrown for 291 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions, as you mentioned,
01:29first time this year without an INT.
01:32You got Kareem Hunt running for 106 yards.
01:35Kareem Hunt, I mean, they're getting players, whether it's Hunt or Hopkins, not that no one
01:40wanted Hopkins, but Hunt was out there for the taking.
01:43No one wanted him.
01:44And Hopkins was doing nothing with Tennessee.
01:46And he comes in right away.
01:47Two games, I mean, between Kelsey and Hopkins, 22 receptions for a team, you know, like Mahomes,
01:54who really does like to spread the ball around.
01:56I mean, that is amazing.
01:57You know, hello on that Tampa Bay sideline.
01:59You might want to guard Travis Kelsey and Hopkins, right?
02:02I mean, let them throw it to Justin Watson and McCall Hartman and some of those guys.
02:07The old school, Ben, listen, I know I'm old and it's old school.
02:10I get it.
02:11But I don't know if I got a guy that's had five, six, seven receptions, right?
02:15I'm the defensive coordinator.
02:16I'm like, okay, guys, whatever we're doing is not working.
02:19So let's put two guys on him and play old school man to man.
02:22One guy picks him up at the line of scrimmage.
02:25Other guy is 10 yards down and you just follow that guy wherever the hell he goes.
02:29I don't care if it's a running play.
02:30I mean, but time after time after time, you know, both these guys open.
02:35So, but it was great.
02:36They ran the ball.
02:37They passed the ball.
02:38No interceptions, you know, quintessential offensive performance out of Kansas City.
02:43And they still needed overtime, which shows you like, you know, we're talking about them
02:48going undefeated, but then on the other side of the coin, it's like, are they really not
02:51that good though?
02:52Are they?
02:52I mean, they're, they're barely winning these games, but that's my holes, man.
02:56The dude finds ways to win football games.
02:58So again, with or without the help of the officials, uh, you don't him, you know, being
03:01helped off the field, you know, I'll, uh, Kellen Winslow from many moons ago, but they
03:06win.
03:06That's all they do is win.
