and to me that gave them a new look that maybe Houston wasn't ready for. So not saying it's going to be close, but the path is if they can take care of the Mahomes scrambles, which they didn't in that first game, that killed them, they can keep it closer. They had a chance in that game. You remember when they got the ball at midfield after Tank Dell got hurt? Yep.

And they were all just like – they were crushed. You know, that really – Some injuries you can kind of move on from. I felt like that one kind of killed them. But they got the ball at midfield with a chance after stopping Kansas City on fourth down to take the lead, I believe. And they weren't ready for the moment. They botched the screen. Schultz drops it out.

And you're like, you know what, this Kansas City team's been here in this game a thousand times. Houston has not. And I think that was really apparent watching in the first game. We'll see if they got better.

That's right. And I think also when you watch like Kansas City's offense, and it might be different now. They started to open things up a little bit more. I think part of that is having Joe at tackle. Joe Tooney, who makes a big difference, like that left tackle spot was a revolving door. They couldn't figure it out. At some point they said, hey, we'll put a guard out here who's pretty good.

He's an all pro guard, but we'll put him out here because we're going to prioritize our best player being able to operate. And so I think what they were doing to that point was let's get into third and manageable, which they're so good at. If they're in third and three or third and four, you feel like you can't get off the field. And so I think that's the key to the game.

If I'm Houston, you kind of say, fuck it. Like, let's be aggressive early or early downs, like getting behind the sticks a little bit. If they burn us, they burn us. But we'll see. I think the slow start is another, you know, little hopeful nugget for them. You know, the fact that the Chiefs haven't played and it feels like a month.

And, you know, if you remember the last team to jump them in divisional round off a bye, Well, it's Houston. It's a totally different team now. But you remember that game, coincidentally, on the way to New Orleans, that trip we were just talking about.

Yeah, like any time we ever played a running quarterback. The coaches, I mean, and now it's more the norm, like where guys, if you can't move, there's not many like you. And so I think more guys are like Jayden, not many like Jayden Daniels, but where third and short, some element of quarterback run is a threat. And I think with Mahomes, it's very...
