Transcript
00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - It hasn't been the most impressive start this season,
00:05 DRS, for Kansas City, but the Chiefs are 4-1,
00:09 and they go to Minnesota yesterday,
00:11 hold off the Vikings winning 27 to 20,
00:15 covering as a short three and a half point road favorite.
00:19 You see Travis Kelsey on the screen.
00:21 There was a ton of conversation at the end of the first half
00:23 when he went down, injured his right foot,
00:26 about the turf there in Minneapolis.
00:28 He comes back to score the game-sealing touchdown
00:31 late in the third quarter.
00:33 10 grabs, 67 yards for Kelsey, and a touchdown.
00:37 So KCDRS now 4-1.
00:39 The Vikings, who were a perfect 11-0 in one score games
00:43 a season ago, now 1-4 straight up,
00:45 all five of their games decided
00:48 by just a single score this season.
00:50 - Yeah, they let this one slip away in the third quarter
00:52 and also letting it slip away,
00:54 a hamstring injury here for a superstar wide receiver.
00:57 I mean, come on.
00:57 You have Justin Jefferson, three catches, 28 yards,
01:00 and you're still hung around.
01:01 There are no moral victories in the NFL.
01:02 Basically, the Minnesota Vikings season is now done.
01:05 But having said that, it would have been nice
01:06 to have your superstar out there,
01:08 because if he could have came back in the game,
01:10 much like Travis Kelsey, maybe that made a difference.
01:12 But it seems like this is gonna be the MO
01:13 of the Kansas City Chiefs, where in the past,
01:15 even though the final scores didn't dictate it all the time,
01:17 you just figure the Chiefs roll your helmets out there,
01:19 play a decent football game with Patrick Mahomes,
01:21 and you can't keep up with them.
01:22 They're winning games ugly at times here.
01:24 Now keep in mind also,
01:26 they are gonna play a game on Thursday night.
01:27 So just 'cause Travis Kelsey came back
01:29 into this game on Sunday,
01:30 that doesn't mean he's gonna be available for Thursday night
01:32 'cause we all know how that swelling kicks up
01:34 in a quick turnaround on Thursday night football,
01:36 something to keep an eye on.
01:37 But the Kansas City Chiefs are four and one now.
01:39 They just keep winning football games,
01:41 and that's the name of the game.
01:42 The Minnesota Vikings, always it seems like,
01:44 Ben, they're close, but can't get over the mountaintop.
01:46 One and four now, and also, more key ingredient here,
01:49 O and three now at home in the dome there.
01:52 Not a good sign for the Vikings the rest of the way.
01:54 We'll see what happens,
01:55 and also keeping on hamstring injuries.
01:56 There's no such thing as a tweak.
01:58 When, ah, no problem, I'll be fine.
02:00 This is probably a multi-week injury here
02:02 for Justin Jefferson, which is devastating.
