00:00And so let us take a early look I guess a current look at the AFC playoff picture
00:09as things stand right now with a whole bunch more games still to go in week 17.
00:13So here's what we have obviously the Chiefs are at the top as expected 15 and
00:181 have locked up the number one overall seed fourth time in seven years. The
00:22Bills at 12 and 3 they were in contention for a little bit there. The
00:26Ravens who in all likelihood are going to win the AFC North 11 and 5. Then you
00:31have the Texans 9 and 7. Those are your division leaders ultimate division
00:36winners likely across the board. And then the Steelers at 10 and 6 who have
00:40locked up a playoff seed despite what you saw yesterday. From there you have
00:44two teams that in all likelihood are going to get in the Chargers and Broncos
00:49each sitting Joe at 9 and 6. And then mathematically still in the picture at
00:54least right now the Colts the Dolphins the Bengals. Now I'd love to see
00:59Cincinnati make it that's a conversation for another time. I'm just not sure the
01:03Broncos or Chargers are going to fall off enough to make that happen. Need
01:08Cincinnati to win out and some help. But at the top of the conference people want
01:13to talk about really those top three teams. It's the Chiefs it's the Bills
01:17it's the Ravens. We saw two of them play yesterday two of them win emphatically.
01:22How close are the hopefuls the Ravens the Bills to the team that has won the
01:27last two Super Bowls from Kansas City.
01:31Well I listened. They all know each other pretty well don't they. That one
01:35two and three seed there. And until until they beat Kansas City in a
01:42meaningful game in January and can actually get past them then the
01:48narrative remains the same. They're not in the same league and they're not in
01:52the same league because neither the Bills nor the Ravens can ever beat the
01:56Chiefs. And it doesn't make a difference if it's in Orchard Park or if it's in
02:00Baltimore. History tells us that there's levels to this and the Bills and Ravens
02:06as good as they have been. They're not what the Chiefs are. The Chiefs are a
02:12cut above. Look at Holmes look at Reed. You can you can look to a million and
02:16one different reasons as to why that is. But the reality is until the Ravens
02:21or the Bills beat the Chiefs in a game that matters in January then the
02:27narrative remains the same. There's the Chiefs and there's everybody else here.
02:31I'm thought they would last year bet on them to. Nope. Didn't everybody
02:37know that against Patrick in Baltimore. You just don't do it right. But the
02:41thing that here's the thing about that game thinking back to it and people you
02:48know you mentioned Brady before people did this for you know 20 years playing
02:52against Bill Belichick and Tom Brady and the Patriots. It was you know you make
02:55mistakes you sort of fumble the bag in the moment you you know defecate
03:00yourself you you just you get scared of the situation because of who is on the
03:06other side. We saw that with the Ravens last year wasn't the Chiefs were
03:10dramatically better. It was the Ravens completely abandoned their game plan.
03:14They overthought it rather than going with their strength which was running
03:18the football even pre Derek Henry. It was running the football and they just they
03:23branched away. They made it a passing game. That was no way for Baltimore
03:28forget playing against Kansas City and what the Chiefs were good or bad at
03:32defensively. It was just no way for Baltimore to win a game to play a game
03:36its way run clock all of that. Do you think there was a lesson learned there
03:40for the Ravens and for Harbaugh to you know where you can go into Kansas City
03:45this time around if that end up you know ends up coming coming into picture and
03:49and just I don't know having a better head on your shoulders. It's I still
03:58think the Ravens and the Bills to your point have all the talent in the world
04:05enough to be able to beat this team right and it's gonna come down to which
04:10team can make the plays when it matters the most in the fourth quarter and to
04:14this point and to their credit it's been Andy Reid out coaching and Patrick
04:20Mahomes outperforming the superstars and coach on the other side like that has
04:25not said nothing we've seen from the Chiefs leads me to believe that all of
04:30a sudden well now you know they they're right to be getting caught no no they're
04:35not they're even better now because of the way they have gone 15 and 1 Adam
04:40here they're not blowing teams out they don't cover games they just make it so
04:46we play close enough and we know when there's two minutes left and we have the
04:51ball we're beating you that's it or if you have the ball with two minutes I
04:55would a chance to beat us you're not doing it because our defense is setting
04:59up that may be the most impressive thing about Kansas City that nobody's talking
05:02about is what's fags is done with this defense this year not to mention last
05:07year but they won it last year but this defense this year to lose a guy like
05:12Chris Jones in that game yesterday and still get five sacks on a on a Pittsburgh
05:19team on the road in Pittsburgh it just it's it's not enough credit being given
05:24I think to the defense of Kansas City and I think that is the scariest part of
05:28this team right now which is why they've been able to rattle off of 15 and 1
05:32record without scoring at least 30 points in any game
