00:00This, uh, this, this AFC is, is a wild, a wild, uh, beast right now.

00:21Can, do you have a, the way that Kansas city was winning very close games early in the

00:27season and then, you know, obviously they just got their first loss against Buffalo.

00:31Did you, could you foresee something like that happening in the way the Baltimore and

00:35Buffalo are all going after it right now?

00:38Well, it's exciting because everybody is, is we say everybody's touching everybody so

00:43close to one another.

00:44Now, Kansas city has kind of been the differential in, but you're right in an uncharacteristic,

00:49all these close tight games, uh, because of the profiles are playing with now.

00:54But I think you have, particularly on the top end, whether it's Baltimore, whether it's

00:58Buffalo, you know, even Pittsburgh split playing at that level.

01:01I think the chargers Denver has been playing very well.

01:05All of them are very, very capable.

01:07They're none of them.

01:08Although Kansas city clearly is, is they've got the pedigree and, and, and the path to,

01:13but, but you know, I, I'm not a better, but I'd have a tough time betting on a game against

01:20any of these teams because they're all very, very capable.

01:23Buffalo is the one that kind of interests me right now and Baltimore because you can

01:28see the way Baltimore can be dominant, um, with the running game between Lamar Jackson

01:33and Derrick Henry and their ability to get the ball down the field, their defense isn't

01:37quite as good.

01:38So, you know, you get a head scratcher when they lose to the Raiders or they lose, you

01:42know, then at Pittsburgh, but then come back and Pittsburgh the same way, beat the Ravens

01:47and then come back and lose to the Browns.

01:49But Buffalo is a team.

01:50They struggled a little bit early, but they seem to be to me of all the teams that we're

01:55talking about.

01:56And even though Kansas city is right there and sitting there at 10 and one Buffalo seems

02:00to be carrying themselves and Josh Allen's playing on the level.

02:04They're the ones of the teams that are the ones that I'm most interested in to see if

02:08they can truly separate themselves and be the team to beat Kansas city or Baltimore

02:13and go to the Superbowl.
