00:00And Vinny, I think let's start with the funny part of the NFL, which is people think that
00:07the games by the Chiefs are scripted.
00:09You would think that they are, by the way.
00:11I mean, they're not, but you would think that they are based on the way that these have
00:15happened.
00:16Vinny, they can't cover a spread.
00:17Basically, they beat the Chargers yesterday, 1917.
00:21How did they win this one?
00:22Of course, a kicker makes a field goal, goes off the goalpost.
00:24Okay, great.
00:26They win the division, 19 to 17.
00:29Vinny, history tells us in sports that it's very rare to have a team sleepwalk through
00:36a season and then just turn it on for the playoffs.
00:40Is that what's going to happen for the Chiefs here?
00:43Because every time we hear, oh, they don't care about the regular season.
00:46They just want to get to the playoffs and just win.
00:48That doesn't work all the time.
00:50Is that going to work for the Chiefs?
00:51Well, I think you look at the Chiefs, they're very much like the Patriots.
00:54The Patriots won a lot of close games during their dives.
00:57They were really good at doing that.
00:58All their Super Bowls were rather close for the most part, and they had to come back in
01:03some of them as well.
01:05The Chiefs have experienced that, right?
01:06I mean, they've had big deficits they've had to overcome.
01:09In a couple Super Bowls, they won, and it was just a thing that the Chiefs have learned
01:15how to do here.
01:16And look, you can look at Matthew Wright and getting lucky on that last field goal, but
01:20they had to find a guy to replace Harrison Butker, and he comes in, kicks four field
01:25goals in a pretty important game here to win the division.
01:28So they're finding some right personnel, guys that are going to help them in the right situations.
01:34They know how to close out these games.
01:36Now, I don't know if they're necessarily sleepwalking.
01:38I think everyone's giving them their best shot.
01:40I mean, as you win one championship, everyone's gunning for you.
01:43When you've won three and two in a row, everyone's going to give you their best game.
01:47The Chargers are a tough team.
01:48That was not going to be easy.
01:50We knew that it was going to be coming down to a field goal probably in this one.
01:54So they're doing their best, but I mean, do you look at that as being a fault, or do you
02:00look at the Bills maybe overlooking a Rams team they probably should beat rather easily?
02:05So you kind of weigh those two things.
02:07But we know the Chiefs history says they're going to come through the playoffs.
