Petro Siebel 0:48
Uh do you wanna start? With the Chiefs or do you wanna do we've talked to a lot of Chiefs, do you wanna do a little K U M U? Uh we can start with the Chiefs. Okay. Uh was it as good as it looked?
Sam McDowell 1:02
Well, I mean yeah, I mean you beat the team that was a few plays away from the Super Bowl by by twenty one points. I think it's hard to have a better outcome than that. And I think that the process of how they got there is really encouraging too.
Petro Siebel 1:14
More about the Chiefs then? And then what percentage would you put it at? That's the game we play today. I think most people we would all say yes, more about the Chiefs. But to what degree? How much of it was about what all the Chiefs did? Talent, scheme, everything in this game versus uh, you know, the Broncos maybe making mistakes with their scheme or Missing talent or what have you.
Sam McDowell 1:37
Well, I mean, look, I mean, when when you cover one of the teams, I think you're always gonna say it's more about that team. I I think the best argument for being more about the Chiefs is the fact that their paths to victory were different than what they've had in the past. And you know, I mean, Patrick Mallam started the game two for twelve. We really uh it it could have been that you were talking the entire hour about that. About I mean the passing game was terrible last night. You know, their leading wide receiver had nineteen yards. Rashi Rice, um, Xavier Worthy, Taekwond Thornton, Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen combined for thirty seven yards in the game. That a year ago, I would say for the last five years, is the only thing we're talking about the day after the game is how bad the passing game is.
Sam McDowell 2:25
This team is built to have another path to victory and it includes a running back talent and scheme combination. I still think the talent is the most important piece. That fourth down play is proof of it. And there's a pass rush that we didn't see at all last year. I mean Bo Nix was pressured at the second highest rate of his career. The Chiefs haven't been able to pressure Bo Nicks and he's terrible under pressure. I mean, all of his metrics are awful when he gets pressured. And it's why I've long thought that Bo Nicks wasn't as great as what he's he's he's held up to. It's because he plays in a really good circumstance. He's got a great offensive line, he's got at least some weapons. He played in horrible circumstances last night.
Sam McDowell 3:04
Like that was a really tough quarterback assignment. From the first play on.

How did the Chiefs achieve a 21‑point victory over the Broncos?

Sam McDowell 3:11
Yeah, they fooled him off the street.
Dax Shepard 3:21
First first play, double corner blitz. Here it comes.
Sam McDowell 3:24
Yeah, I asked Noel Williams after you after the game, like when did you know that was gonna be the first play of the game? And he declined to say exactly, but his smile gave it away, like, Hey, we've been planning that for a while. Uh, but that's why I think the best argument is is for why it's about the Chiefs, is because they won in a way we have not seen them win. So Patrick Wolf's starting two for twelve The Chiefs have never uh this only dates back to ninety nine, but in that time, they have not had a quarterback start for two two for twelve and then later win the game.
