00:00Two of the top teams in the AFC went head-to-head on Monday
00:04night, but Kansas City came out on top as the Chiefs beat the
00:08Bills 26 to 17. Joining me now from Arrowhead Report is Tucker
00:13Franklin. Tucker, the Chiefs are coming off a tough loss to
00:16the Raiders. What a way to answer though. We saw a
00:19tremendous ground game from them. Edwards Hilaire, 26
00:23carries and 161 yards, but we also saw a really great
00:26rushing performance from Mahomes. How did the loss to
00:29Vegas help them re-evaluate and get the win in this matchup?
00:35Yeah, Patrick Mahomes was just at the podium after the game
00:38and he said that the offensive line and really the offense in
00:40general took that performance personal. They got a lot of
00:43slander after the game. The offensive line did say, you
00:45know, they weren't good enough. They weren't giving Mahomes
00:47enough time in the pocket and they did kind of take that
00:50personal. Mahomes had plenty of time to throw the ball when he
00:52needed to throw the ball. Clyde Edwards Hilaire performed great
00:54on the ground, made the Chiefs not so one-dimensional and like
00:58you mentioned, Patrick Mahomes had a good rushing performance,
01:00especially on that third downplay where he crossed the
01:02line of scrimmage, came back, then realized he crossed the
01:05line of scrimmage and had to make a make a run for it. So,
01:07Patrick Mahomes' legs might be his most underrated tool as a
01:11football player in general and I think he kind of showed that
01:13off today. Yeah, that circle he ran around himself but almost
01:17getting the first down, really impressive, but as mentioned,
01:20let's talk about Clyde Edwards Hilaire. He had a big game,
01:24but let's, you know, Le'Veon Bell is coming week seven. So,
01:29do you think we're going to see his production drop once he's
01:31active? I think it's inevitable to see his production drop just
01:36because of Le'Veon Bell is going to get touches. He's a
01:38phenomenal football player. Andy Reid even talked about after
01:40the game how good of a football player Le'Veon Bell still is,
01:43but Clyde Edwards Hilaire certainly did put up a
01:45convincing performance against the Bills tonight. It was a
01:49great performance, a career performance. I believe this is
01:52the most rushing yards under an Andy Reid coach team in the
01:55Kansas City era, which is amazing to see. Patrick Mahomes
01:58said that that's what the Bills were giving him, so they kept
02:00running with it and Le'Veon Bell will present another wrinkle,
02:03but I don't really think that we should see Clyde Edwards
02:06Hilaire's production dip. Maybe his touches dip, but I don't
02:08think the production is necessarily going to fall off
02:10as much as people think it's going to. Alright, well, big
02:14night for him and the Kansas City Chiefs now five and one.
02:17Tucker, thanks so much for joining me. Appreciate it.
02:20Appreciate it.
