00:00
sort of basking in the afterglow of the Eagles' upset,
00:05
narrow upset, but I think in the way they won,
00:08
pretty significant upset of the Kansas City Chiefs,
00:11
40 to 22.
00:13
Again, it was a tight spread, it was a virtual pick-em.
00:15
It's not the catastrophic upset in that way,
00:18
it's just the way in which Mahomes and that offense
00:22
and the Chiefs were manhandled and outplayed.
00:26
I'm not sure we can possibly give enough credit
00:29
to Vic Fangio, the defensive coordinator of Philadelphia.
00:32
I mean, despite, again, Jalen Hurts being
00:35
the most valuable player of this game,
00:37
all the talk that should come out of this game
00:39
in the days and weeks to come
00:41
is people sort of celebrate the season
00:43
and look back and all, it should be on the defense.
00:47
The defensive performance, much honestly,
00:49
as it was when Tom Brady won his seventh Super Bowl
00:52
there with Tampa, he wasn't anything special in that game.
00:55
They won because of the defense,
00:57
the way that Tampa Bay similarly worked
01:01
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' offense in that game.
01:05
That ultimately is what got the job done.
01:08
It was this, if you can find a way defensively,
01:12
don't worry about getting into a shootout
01:13
and outscoring them, kind of like how the Ravens
01:16
and Bills are built to compete with Kansas City and the AFC.
01:20
If you can find a way to stifle them defensively,
01:23
that is how you ultimately dethrone them.
01:28
There are two keys, and whether it's the draft,
01:31
free agency, trades acquisitions,
01:33
I think there are two keys, maybe three.
01:35
It is facilitating the pass,
01:38
and you can break that down in two sections,
01:39
would be protecting the quarterback
01:41
and then enabling him with weapons,
01:43
and then hindering the pass on the defensive side,
01:46
and that's what the Eagles did,
01:48
is bringing the pressure and hindering Mahomes' ability
01:50
to have clean pockets and move around
01:54
and go through his reach.
01:54
So when you're drafting players,
01:55
it has to be defensive players that are downhill players,
01:58
getting after the quarterback,
01:59
or it's going to be defensive or offensive linemen
02:01
to protect the pass.
02:03
That's what teams should be focusing in on.
