Transcript
00:00 (upbeat music)
00:03 - As we'll head to the next matchup here,
00:05 I think we can fit it in before the break.
00:06 Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings.
00:09 This was a 425 Eastern, 125 Pacific kick here, Scott.
00:14 27 to 20, a good one.
00:16 The Chiefs win this, they cover the three and a half,
00:19 and the game stays just under the total of 52 and a half.
00:23 Vikings, man, if you look at the standings and record wise,
00:27 not a great start for Minnesota.
00:30 However, strength of schedule,
00:31 if it's not the most difficult to this point in the season,
00:35 it's definitely up there.
00:36 But Kirk Cousins goes down to Patrick Mahomes,
00:39 27 to 20, Chiefs win, they cover, game stays under.
00:43 What'd you take away from Minneapolis, Minnesota today,
00:46 Scott?
00:46 - Yeah, you know, if I gave you a 50/50 bet
00:50 who was gonna throw for more yards,
00:51 Kirk Cousins or Pat Mahomes, right?
00:53 I think most people would say Mahomes.
00:55 It was Kirk Cousins.
00:56 Another classic Kirk Cousins game, right?
00:58 And 29 to 47, 284 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions,
01:03 sack only three times, but it didn't win the football game.
01:06 No, he did not.
01:07 No, no, he did not.
01:08 You know, it's one of those lines, Drew,
01:10 that it was six and a half at the beginning of the week,
01:13 and six, six and a half, it was like, okay,
01:14 you know, Minnesota plays all these one score games,
01:17 then it went down to five and a half,
01:18 then it went down to four and a half,
01:19 then it went down to three and a half.
01:21 And it's kind of like, well, wait a minute,
01:23 now you're talking about winning the football game.
01:25 Am I gonna bet Kirk Cousins over Patrick Mahomes?
01:30 I didn't play it, but, you know,
01:32 after initially attempting to play Minnesota
01:34 at the beginning of the week, I'm glad I didn't,
01:37 because that's just like, no,
01:39 I can't do that with Candace.
01:41 I can't put that much faith in Kirk Cousins.
01:43 (Drew laughs)
01:45 - Kirk Cousins.
01:47 Oh man, what a, what a kind of character in the NFL.
01:52 I don't know, I mean, where would you put him
01:54 on your quarterback rankings, Scott?
01:56 He's top half, right?
01:58 Is he flirting with top 10 in your quarterback rankings?
02:02 - Yeah, probably.
02:05 Believe it or not, like I said, he's 25th, Drew.
02:08 25th all time.
02:11 So he's got about 38,000 yards.
02:12 He's going to be top probably 15.
02:17 I don't know if he'll get to top 10,
02:19 but, you know, he's relatively young, right?
02:22 And the way teams throw the football and everything else,
02:24 you know, he's got to get another 10 to 15,000 yards
02:26 passing probably that's going to put him in the top 15
02:29 in the NFL all time.
02:30 You know, would I like him if my quarterback is Zach Wilson?
02:36 Yeah.
02:37 Would I like him if my quarterback was Jalen Hurts?
02:40 No, I'll keep Jalen Hurts, you know?
02:43 But there's probably about 20 teams, you know,
02:47 better than Danny Pickett, you know,
02:48 better than what Washington has to offer,
02:51 better than Danny Nichols with the Giants.
02:53 When you start like naming all the teams,
02:57 that's when you kind of appreciate like,
02:58 okay, you know, the guy is, you know, he's a boob.
03:01 He's not going to win a Super Bowl,
03:03 but he's actually pretty good.
