00:03
Let's take a look at the playoff runs, how these teams got here
00:08
after these regular season divisional titles.
00:11
We'll start it off with the Niners.
00:12
Niners earning that number one seed.
00:14
They got the bye in the wild card round.
00:16
And then what happened next?
00:17
We saw a little bit of a fluctuation
00:20
in their dominance, perhaps.
00:22
When they were dominant earlier in the season,
00:24
they hit a little bit of a valley midseason.
00:26
And by the time they get to the end of the regular season,
00:28
they're like, ah, the Niners are fine.
00:29
But were they?
00:30
When they played the Green Bay Packers,
00:33
we had a serious issue with them looking
00:37
like they might actually lose that football game.
00:40
They end up getting the victory.
00:41
But what did we see from the Niners?
00:44
We saw, perhaps, a team that was a little overconfident.
00:49
They thought they'd go up against a rookie in Jordan Love
00:52
and walk over them.
00:54
But that wasn't the case.
00:55
Niners trailing in the second half of that game.
00:58
It took a couple of late interceptions by Dre Greenlaw
01:02
to take out those Green Bay Packers, who
01:04
are a team next year that a lot of people will be looking at.
01:07
So beyond that, they get to the next game.
01:10
We have them-- that's the divisional round.
01:13
And obviously, they get to the NFC Championship game.
01:16
And they go up against the Detroit Lions, a team
01:18
that we thought, all right, great story for Detroit.
01:21
They made it to San Francisco.
01:22
But the run is going to end there.
01:24
It's not the way that game started, for sure.
01:27
17-point lead at halftime.
01:29
And then we all know about the crazy comeback,
01:31
a massive third quarter explosion by the 49ers.
01:35
And then they ended up closing it out in style
01:38
with a 34 to 31 victory.
01:41
So that's how the Niners were able to build their way
01:44
to the Super Bowl.
01:45
Kansas City Chiefs, on the flip side,
01:48
they don't earn that bye this time around.
01:50
And they get to the wild card round,
01:52
walk over the Dolphins in freezing cold weather,
01:54
26 to 7 victory, and then move on
01:57
to beat the Bills in another classic 27 to 24.
02:01
And again, the Chiefs are trailing
02:03
in a lot of these games.
02:04
They are a team-- both teams, I would say.
02:07
I'd take a moment to say, both teams really
02:10
built to play from in front.
02:11
The Niners are very much a team that
02:13
likes to be in front, a high-scoring first half team.
02:16
The Chiefs as well.
02:18
And both defenses have proven to be
02:21
very good in the second half, particularly the Chiefs.
02:23
That will be a theme that I talk about all throughout the week.
02:26
Chiefs' second half defense, Chiefs' fourth quarter
02:28
defense, that's going to be the theme
02:30
that we talk about all week.
02:31
But the Chiefs, obviously, would come from behind victory
02:36
against the Buffalo Bills, and then
02:38
against the Ravens, a 17 to 10 victory, which was a game that--
02:42
we're used to talking Lamar Jackson, Patrick Holmes,
02:45
offensive explosion, not the case at all, 17 to 10.
02:49
Chiefs go on the road, punt five times in the second half,
02:52
do not score, and win the football game.
02:54
So an impressive performance for them defensively.
02:57
Steve Spagnuolo, another guy that we'll talk about a lot
03:00
this week, and how he's able to make adjustments to slow down
03:03
the opposing offenses.
03:05
So that's how they got here.
03:07
I would not say that the Niners did it with style points,
03:10
but it's a survive and advance type of league,
03:12
and they are here to try to revenge that Super Bowl
03:16
from a few years ago.
