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.
