What did the hosts say about the Chiefs’ dominant Week 1 win and Kenneth Walker’s impact?
Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble abode, the DraftKings Thunderdome. On this football's the greatest Tuesday, September 15, 2026, this sports program begins nao! Football is incredible. Week one of the NFL Slate wrapped up last night at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, as the Chiefs proved that they is still the Chiefs. The Chiefs went crazy last night. Now, Kenneth Walker being added to this team, I think, is a special addition. This could take us back a couple years where the Kansas City Chiefs had a run game and a powerful defense, and Patrick Mahomes had to basically learn how to not be a quarterback. That wants to throw the ball of the time. Hand the ball off, defense will get you stuff.
And then when we have a big third down or a late fourth quarter, we need to drive, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey would make their magic. Well, turns out it looks like they got the same script for this particular season. And this guy, K9, obviously Super Bowl MVP, had 221 carries for the Seattle Seahawks last year, has this magnificent run with them, leads them to a Super Bowl, gets the MVP, then he's out of the building. And you think to yourself, well, they had Sharp. Charbonnet, they had a couple other running backs. Was Kenneth Walker really that impressive? Why do the Chiefs love him so much? Well, what we found out is the Chiefs love him because they're going to give the ball every single one.
They handed the ball off to him, they threw the ball to him. Whenever Patrick Mahomes was looking for things, he found K-9. They had another back that was able to spell him a little bit. But with Kenneth Walker, Eric Bienemi being back in the building too. I think he's the kind of hard-nosed, tough trenches type guy. If they l if you listen to what they're saying in that locker room, that team was so fun to watch. Patrick Didn't even complete a pass over 10 yards. Now, Travis Kelsey goes for 57. Yes. And I just so happened to be watching that particular catch with the entire Kelsey Swift family. Nice. Nice. It was an incredibly hot box, loaded box, excited box, enthusiastic box, bought-in box, and watching him do that was awesome.
You know, because there was a lot of questions. Travis, you know, last season wasn't his best season. Obviously, he's another year older. He's about to be 37 years old. Is he still gonna be a weapon while broke some tackles, strided out, was obviously open for Patrick whenever he needed it. And you know what? A lot of people say a couple years ago maybe gets in the end zone. I don't know. I I don't know if he does. I think he looked fast. I think he looked incredibly strong, confident, and comfortable in that offense. So if Patrick Mahomes is only going to play better, which we assume is going to happen.
Mm-hmm.
And that knee looked pretty good.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yes it did. True. When he got
intro last night and it was cool to be a part of the pregame festivities. Shout out to everybody for allowing me to be a part of Monday Night Cowtown. That show was cool to be a part of. Excited to get the flow of that and uh, you know, celebrate what the weekend it was in the game that's coming. And the way Scott Van Pelt operates is cool to watch. I mean, he's uh obviously a legend in the game. Jason McCourty, incredible. Uh uh, he was absolutely phenomenal. Jason Kelsey, his energy is the greatest. and also one of the best offensive linemen to ever play football. And then Swaggoo d I don't think people know how big Swaggoo is. I was walking behind him up the top. So we get kicked off the field after Monday Night Countdown.
Okay. Excuse me? Hey, not allowed to be on the field. Games. I know. And also, like, we're supposed to, we got the halftime show coming up, you know. Uh, but we get kicked off the field basically. So, you know, like, hey, you guys need to get the hell out of here. So there's a bus RV. Shout out to Blue Compass RV. I think we gave credit to it in the Monday Night Countdown thing that popped up on the screen. I was like, shout out Blue Compass RV. Getting a little bit of a run here, but they have an incredible bus.
