NFL Cover Zero with Matt Jones and Drew Franklin is a production of the NFL and iHeart podcast.
Welcome everybody. It is NFL Cover Zero Week Two Preview. Matt Jones, Drew Franklin, Billy R. Sports, wearing his new uh non-NFL hat. Good to see you diversifying a little bit. I have that hat too. I don't like that now because that means I can't wear it. On the off chance, you might wear it the same day. I ruined the hat for you. Well, I mean, I think you don't want to wear, you don't want to come to a place and have Yeah that's awkward. You have to tell 'em to take it off at then Yeah, and you would have to be the one to take it off just for the record. Wow. Wow. For the record. I do like that hat though. Uh, Drew, been a good week. Not a ton of news since the game so far, but everybody's sort of settling uh in after week one.
Monday night football, I guess we can start with that. The Chiefs, do they uh look like the Chiefs again?
They do. Uh I think that Kenneth Walker edition's gonna end up working out pretty well for me. Seem like he seems like a pretty good player. Turns out giving Patrick Mahomes the reigning Super Bowl MVP, why did we let that happen? Just a huge game for them. I mean, even old man Kelsey with the big sixty yard grab. So um I I knew the Chiefs would be much better than last year. Last year was a one off, but it looks like they're gonna be pretty stacked.
Yeah, I uh so I Mahomes actually started relatively poorly. He was four of eleven and kind of looked a little rusty, but then they gave Walker the ball six straight times to start the game. That felt like a statement from Mr. Mustache there. He was just like, I'm just gonna keep pounding the ball to this dude. I hope they don't use up all his carries by week four, though.
No, that'd be a lot.
