 down four that's the situation that we we harp on a lot and it's um it's just a whole lot of fun and the emotion to be able to persevere through that man it's like a ticking time bomb man once you get in the end zone man you just explode you just fire that ball right yeah sorry if I hit somebody I don't have a whole lot of accuracy with this dance why I moved the tight end sorry about that we have Darius Butler and Joe Hayden on the show to talk defense but it was all about the offense and Travis Kelsey last night and that's the about the only thing the chiefs had to apologize for as we hear Kelsey their post game they went into so far and pulled off a thrilling 30 to 27 comeback win over the Chargers Chargers chiefs here for it whenever it's on give me a Monday night Thursday night with Andrew Ritworth and I'm here signing up for that matchup any day of the week with Justin Herbert and Patrick Mahomes under center how about these Travis Kelsey three touchdowns oh my good I mean if you're playing fantasy it's it's done it took Kansas City just one minute and 15 seconds on just five plays to go 75 yards for this game winning score so the chiefs they're now eight into the chiefs are now sitting atop the AFC alone planting that flag ready to eat that turkey on Thursday when everybody else is duking it out to kick off week 12 so by the way the impressiveness of this feet without a juju without hard men without Kaderis Kaderis Tony he pops out of this game with a hamstring injury Mahomes still through for 329 yards still had three touchdowns and it wasn't just Kelsey he was looking at and hitting sky more Justin Watson shout out Jody Fortson I mean doing it he was spreading the ball around he was making it work that Mahomes I said on Friday that this campaign all of everything that Mahomes is doing has the makings of a signature MVP moment with all of the injuries with some adversity without Tyra Kill and the man continues to deliver so the race for MVP certainly isn't over you got Jalen Hertz you got to whether still right there in the conversation but what we saw collectively in primetime matters when it comes to these awards it just does it was special under the bright lights at SoFi last night and now the chargers who play at SoFi are still playing better than the Rams sorry they fall outside to play off picture there even Steven right there at 500 five and five they did show me something last night too though Marissa and I were talking we're like Harper deserves a win we just want to win for him and it was nice to see him finally look a little healthy out there and you saw how much better this offense looks even when Keenan Allen is even just even just him healthy him back on the field it is a game changer so I still expect a run to the playoffs out of these bolts as lightning probably just struck my studio somehow here I want to hear from you guys let me know at up and Adam show great weekend great football and it wasn't the only exciting finish that we got yesterday so let's do it let's get into the big takeaways from earlier action on Sunday Patriots oh woof woof woof this game the Patriots beat the Jets 10 3 it was the sleepiest game of the year until this that means I'm 17 funds no offensive touchdowns but this highlight was awesome it's Marcus Jones it's 84 yards it's a punt return touchdown guess how much to go five seconds to go in this thing a dramatic win for the Patriots and it made it abundantly clear that New England is a factor in the AFC playoff race tell me if you've heard that before for the past 20 years or so the paths of one three straight from three and four a month ago to six and four now they shoot up to six in the position seating and they're in prime position to make the playoffs and I kind of think it might happen again somehow crazily and I have to address our guy Lashan McCoy came on the show last week to call Bella checks greatness into question he didn't come on to do that but that it happened while he was on and you know he said that the what the Patriots accomplished said far more about Tom Brady and he tweeted this so he's doubling down saying why I'll overreact when I said without Tom Brady bills look like the I forget what the rest of the treat is but he's okay he's doubling down on the fact that that it's more about Brady that Bella check that you know it's about defense he's not an offensive mind to coach blah blah blah and and yes and it wasn't the sharpest day and I love Lashan for for doubling down like that he's awesome and Lashan and everybody can say what they want about the offense but I think it makes what Bill Belichick is doing with this team even more impressive they don't have a top-tier quarterback they're put you know they've got quarterback drama they don't have any top-tier playmakers on offense and yes that does go back to some decisions that he certainly is involved in as he's involved in every minor decision made in that building but I don't know if you put up their offensive weapons against anyone in the league I don't know it's not great like there's about two or three teams maybe that you would take them over they're they're pretty much bottom of the barrel so objectively they have to be bottom five from a sheer talent perspective unfortunately but somehow they're manufacturing wins and what matters more nothing they held the Jets offense to two total yards in the second half like the nightmare scenario for Zach Wilson then not like the the red what are we still saying space in your head rent-free are we still is that cool still is it Marissa says yes so it is awful awful they have the number two defense in the league right now after letting their best player all pro-corner JC Jackson walk-in free agency I saw Mina Kymes tweet about this that somehow they have the second pass best pass defense and they do not have a stud they do not go draft a stud corner they don't do any of that they created that score on special teams on a given day if one phase isn't great Bella check is the guy that's finding him a to me to make it happen and play and that's what great coaching is so I'm not I'm not about debating shady but I know that I know you know I would love to have shady come on and talk about this but more than anything I think what Bella checks done over this last year and a half with what has been average quarterback play at best only makes his case as one of the greatest head coaches of all time even stronger and he wasn't the only one that made a statement guys let's get into it the Dallas Cowboys oh my gosh they went into Minnesota and demolished the previously 8-1 Vikings 40 to 3 I was hanging out with my parents were outside grilling I kept coming in like what is going on in this game even in the stunning loss to the Packers last week there were a lot of positives for Dallas to take away as you could see signs of what this offense was maybe finally going in through and coming together and CD lamb looks so good and it did eat it I don't know yesterday afternoon that gelled even more and the big breakout star to talk about what is happening here today I'm scared I'm if I'm the NFC East and the NFC I'm scared of Tony Pollard because he is a legitimate star so here's what he did 80 yards on the ground 109 through the air including that you know I mean come on including that two touchdowns look what he's done over the past month if it can pop up this full screen since week eight he's averaged 154.7 scrimmage yards per game seven point six yards per Dutch while scoring six touchdowns all lead the entire league over that span now under the entirety of the Jerry Jones era the Cowboys have been at their best you guys with what a strong offensive line of elvita cheese block out there that nobody can get through and a star running back and Zeke had been that guy but he hasn't been that guy unfortunately for a few years the Cowboys haven't had a legitimate threat as a result and I think Jerry Jones was almost trying to force something to happen with Zeke that was no longer happening a big paycheck to him a lot of endearment for his player and and they didn't have a consistent threat as a result 20 Pollard wasn't pushed and championed in that way but if he keeps playing like that and Parsons keep playing the way he has been playing and and then we're going to throw an Odell Beckham into this mix if they get that kind of assigning with the way the NFC looks right now why not the Cowboys to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl and I think LaShaw McCoy would come on and say Dak Prescott which is an interesting answer and why you know something we're gonna have to keep her eye on and talk about as the season unfolds but Marissa cover your ears the Eagles don't look quite I slept they did they don't look like quite as scary do they like we're getting there yeah you saw what they did to the Vikings okay the Cowboys look as good as anyone in that conference right now not saying they're going to win it I think the Eagles will but it's time to stop dismissing them for the low hanging fruit with the valid points man I don't know if we can say to stop dismissing them because Michael Carthy makes crazy in game decisions and that's why we seem throwing his headset and in a Dak I think I guess does have something to prove but I'm excited to see what they've got down the stretch forty three in Minnesota's building is no joke and no chains for Kirk Cousins and I don't think every I think there's no Kirk Cousins is falling down to earth take on this or like he's gonna Kirk Cousins and that's good it is not that like the Cowboys are dominant and they're gelling at the right time and Tony Pollard and Parsons are two studs leading the way and Dak can do his thing
