Why are the Kansas City Chiefs considered the team to beat after their Week 1 win over the Broncos?
This is an IHEP podcast. Guaranteed human.
Why should you listen to Armstrong and Getty on demands?
We're not boring. A lot of news is boring. And tedious. And depressing. And makes you angry. You don't want to live your life like that. Hey, I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty. We're Armstrong and Getty. We try to bring you the truth and help you figure out this crazy modern world.
How about something about a comedic tone?
We have a winner. Yes. Listen to Armstrong Yugeti on Demand on the iHeartRadio app. Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio.
When you think about Patrick Mahomes, Hall of Fame career has gone through a couple of different lives. When you think about when I think the initial thought with Patrick Mahomes is, man, that guy airs it out. And he did. When he had Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelsey in his prime, that was the NFL's most explosive offense. Well, Tyree Kill goes to Miami. Patrick Mahomes didn't blink. They end up winning a Super Bowl by spreading the ball around, didn't have the big offensive weapons there, but Mahomes would improvise with his legs. Now Kansas City is evolving again. They if week one, I know tiny sample, but what we saw last night is they can win by running the football consistently and having a true one thousand yard.
Rusher because Mahomes hasn't had that. Pacheco was great. He got tough yards for you. They've had a couple of different uh incarnations of a running game there. But you think about they've had uh passing attack, they've had a really good defense. Now you have Mahomes improvising, and now they're back to playing maybe Andy Reid kind of football of balanced offensively. He's gonna break tackles for you. He's built like a guy who is gonna be a powerful running back, but he's also very elusive. And Paulie brought up earlier uh when we were talking before the show, there's a Le'Veon Bell to him. He kind of floats, floats, goes, and when he goes with those jump cuts, he can take it sixty yards as we saw last night.
And you can look at this as we normally do. Is it about the Denver defense? Is it about Denver and the defense and who they played last year, who played quarterback against them, and they did not face great quarterbacks. Uh but Mahomes has that ability to evolve. Andy Reid, Eric Bienemy back, play calling, and you saw a Kansas City team that looked now struggling early, but then once they got into a rhythm, they
Mahomes scoring the first touchdown, and who would have thought it'd be on a running play when we were told all offseason he's going to limit the amount of runs. He's not going to run the way he once did. But they continue to evolve, and that's the impressive part of this. But getting Kenneth Walker also, you got to wrap him up. The number of yards that he has after contact, they were the most of any running back in week one. Uh you get the fourth most touches. Now I don't know if you're gonna load him up and you're gonna give him twenty to twenty five carries. Uh you know, that seems to be a the a different generation of running back, but you saw that when they mix it up, uh Mahomes is able to take advantage of you in a variety of ways.
So uh here is Mahomes after the win last night over the Broncos.
I just wanted to play. Like i i i I'd done so much rehab and so much work to kinda put myself in this position. Um I just wanted to get out there and play. Like it y this is what you do it for and I'm always able to play and go out there and and my guys around me kinda helped me so whenever I wasn't I feel like I didn't play my best football, we still were able to go out there and beat a really good football team um um pretty well and it's 'cause the guys around me stepped up and knew that they're gonna have to help me as
Also, keep this in mind Mahomes didn't complete a pass over ten yards downfield, and Kansas City still scored thirty-one points. Those days are gone. They when they had Tyreek Hill, Tyreek Hill would get past the defense. Then those defenses decided everything's gonna be in front of us.
