But you know going back to the the Steelers and Ravens, you know again this this stuff is not decided, right?
00:05
I mean Baltimore 11 and 5 has clinched a playoff spot same deal for Pittsburgh at 10 and 6
00:11
But both these teams are trying to clinch the division and Mike Tomlin will tell you I think it was Tomlin, right?
00:17
Was it Harbaugh John Harbaugh will tell you for?
00:21
For Baltimore this this is important to the Ravens
00:25
Very significant. I mean, it's definitely a goal
00:28
It's one of our our five main goals is to win the division from a team perspective and it's a big deal
00:34
It's a tough division. We respect these teams tremendously
00:37
I think you saw you saw the games this last weekend. You saw the Bengals, you know, they're still they're still in it
00:43
Tells you a lot about the character of the teams in this in this division. So we know we're going to have a tough game
00:48
We always do we always do against every team in the division the Browns. We always have these these knockdown dragouts with so
00:55
But if we could get it done it would be a great accomplishment
00:59
Chiefs Bills Ravens Texans Steelers Chargers have all clinched playoff spots
01:03
And again, as we have mentioned many times the final one will go to the Broncos Dolphins or Bengals
01:10
Which team has the best chance of that whole group of tripping up Kansas City and preventing Casey for making a third straight Super Bowl?
01:19
You know, I think it's still the bills of all the AFC teams that has the best chance because Josh Allen
01:24
You know does take us personally and they had that game a few years ago to where it was back and forth
01:29
You remember that game?
01:30
They just did not quit went to the overtime there and you know, Josh Allen has beaten them in Kansas City
01:36
So it's Joe Burrows. There's a finite number of those people. I
01:39
Know the the Baltimore Ravens defense since the by's played a little better
01:43
But I want to take that with a grain of salt because the Steelers offense is unimpressive and then they play the Giants off the
01:47
Bye, so I think people putting a little bit too much stock into that
01:50
the thing you want to be able to do with this stage in the game is run the football play defense and
01:55
When you're looking at the playoff picture right now
01:58
It feels like the Chiefs are in a good place to do that. The Bills defense gives up far too many points against good offenses
02:04
I mean they went back-to-back weeks there with the Rams and the Lions where they gave up 90 points almost
02:09
I mean that that is that is an incredible amount of points to be giving up at this stage
02:15
So, I don't know at a certain point here
02:18
I'm looking at this and I'm saying to myself the Chiefs are still the prohibited favorites
02:22
I I think that they would be underdogs against the Bills at home. I think my homes will take that personally
02:28
I don't think the Chargers are a team that can beat the Chiefs in their building
02:33
I am very suspect that the Ravens can beat the Chiefs in that building with the way that defense plays
02:39
I'm not enamored of the Bills defense
02:41
But Josh Allen does have that weird magic and I think a lot of its mental where you got to go in here
02:46
And can you beat the Chiefs? Can you put that team on your back? Joe Burrell can do it. Josh Allen can do it
02:52
I'm just not sure if Lamar can do it quite yet because we haven't seen him really do that
02:56
But maybe just maybe being the underdog is what Lamar needs. Do you think that might be the secret sauce for the Ravens? I
03:02
Would trust the Ravens more if I hadn't seen them in the playoffs last year against the Chiefs completely
03:07
Abandoned their game plan and all the things they do well and not run the ball and turn Lamar into a passive
