00:00And let's talk about the big one.

00:02Let's face facts.

00:03The Coup de Grace, the night game,

00:05is the Bills and Chiefs at Arrowhead.

00:08Yeah, and you know what's funny?

00:10The Bills, if you talk to anyone there,

00:14the Bills know in the regular season

00:16they've looked really, really good.

00:17And then in the post-season against the Chiefs,

00:20no matter where the game is,

00:21they should not be able to get the job done.

00:220-3 in the post-season.

00:24We know about the overtime game,

00:25then the overtime rules change because of that game.

00:28But the bottom line is, when you look at the Chiefs,

00:32they're on a roll at home, Scott.

00:33They're also one of the best home teams

00:35in the National Football League.

00:37Of the two teams,

00:38they're a little bit healthier than the Bills.

00:39Now, the Bills, the only concern they have

00:42is with Taylor Rapp, one of their starting safeties.

00:44He's got two injuries.

00:45He's been hurt a lot this season.

00:47They're not deep at safety.

00:48That does worry me a little bit.

00:50But overall, look, the Chiefs are healthier.

00:52They've got a number of players back.

00:53Remember, Pacheco missed time on injured reserve.

00:56Hollywood Brown missed most of the season.

00:58He's back.

00:59Okay, he's a deep threat.

01:01Defensively, they had a number of players

01:03in their secondary hurt.

01:04They're all back, including Jalen Watson,

01:06who's a good cornerback.

01:08He returned last week.

01:09So they're healthy.

01:10There are no excuses, Scott, as you said,

01:11for the Eagles and Washington game,

01:13particularly with Washington, because they're healthier.

01:15But the Chiefs are,

01:16the healthiest they've been all season, Scott.

01:18But the one issue is at left tackle.

01:20Remember, you and I talked about this.

01:22Joe Tooney, their left guard, started left tackle again.

01:25Now, D.J. Humphreys is actually healthy now

01:27off that hamstring.

01:28And that's one thing to keep an eye on Sunday,

01:30what they do at left tackle.

01:33So, I mean, the Bills do have the wrap injury.

01:36They've had, you know, I,

01:38we were talking about it with Carver High.

01:40They've got some guys banged up

01:42going into this game in Kansas City.

01:45But they expect all their starters, Scott,

01:47to be available for this game.

01:48And you know what's interesting, Scott?

01:50One thing, one aside before we move on here,

01:51is how both teams have morphed

01:54into not turning the ball over,

01:56winning with defense, and the run game.

01:58More the Bills than the Chiefs.

02:00But the Chiefs, the high octane passing game is gone.

02:04They're more efficient.

02:04Kelsey went off last week,

02:06but they're not throwing the ball deep downfield at all,

02:08despite all the speed that they have.

02:10And the Bills have been more of an intermediate

02:12to short passing game.

02:14Josh Allen's been efficient.

02:15He's running the ball well as a direct quarterback.

02:18It's interesting, Scott,

02:19and we'll talk more about the over-under total

02:21in the next segment,

02:22but it's not quite what we thought from both teams.

02:25And it's hard to believe, but it's happening.

02:26The Bills have become more of a run offense.

02:28I didn't see it coming with James Cook,

02:30who's had a breakout season.

02:31They've done a great job of running the ball.

02:32I give Joe Brady credit.

02:34Now, Joe Brady has kind of revived his career.

02:36There's no question about it.

02:37I'm looking forward to seeing what happens here in this game.

02:40And again, by the way, Scott,

02:41weather is gonna be fine.

02:43It's gonna be in the 20s.

02:44Wind's not gonna be a factor.

02:47As a matter of fact,

02:48weather will not be a factor in this game.

02:49I have no problem with it.

02:51But the point is, again, Scott,

02:53they're not throwing the ball over the yard

02:54like they used to.

02:55That's the thing about these teams,

02:57opposed to what they would do in the past in these games.

03:00Do you think that the NFL is throwing flags for Mahomes?

03:06No, no, no.

03:08Now that, one thing I want to mention-

03:10Except for those two giant horrible calls

03:12against the Texans and the flop.

03:14I'm surprised that they wouldn't call one there either.

03:17They're pathetic.

03:18Well, the flop was a joke,

03:19but the call on Will Anderson,

03:21unfortunately by the rule, is technically a foul.

03:24That's something, Scott,

03:26the competition committee will look at in March.

03:28No question about it.

03:29That was an absolute joke, I agree with you.

03:30All the other quarterbacks in the divisional series

03:33were getting raped and got no flags.

03:35This guy, Mahomes, he's blowing kids out

03:37and he gets a flag.
