So, Mahomes came out and said, I'm going to do whatever it takes to win, whether that's passing for a lot of yards or not passing for a lot of yards. So we've seen Kansas City win in a number of different ways.

How do you think that the offense or the chiefs need to look in order to succeed this year? Listen, I do think there's an element of they need to get their swagger back and pump the ball down the field. Now, I think people need to remember how we got kind of to the point that we got to with this offense being the way it is. And I talked about this yesterday on TV, but I think it's worth revisiting. Three years ago,

they're playing the number one defense in the NFL in the Super Bowl. They score 38 points without a single play longer than 25 yards. And the longest play of the game is a Mahomes scramble. The very next year, they come back. They're in the Super Bowl, the offense having struggled all year long, receivers just openly revolting against Patrick.

In the Super Bowl, the biggest drive up to that point of Mahomes' life, 11 play 64-yard, dink, dunk, ding, dunk field goal. and then in overtime, one of the greatest drives in NFL history, 13 play, 75-yard drive, where the longest play once again is a Mahomes scramble. Dink, dunk, ding, dunk, no big explosives. And then last year, offense just eking along and pulling games out of the fire. So why am I saying when they've gone Super Bowl win, Super Bowl win, Super Bowl loss after being 17 and 1 going into the Super Bowl with Mahomes's starter? Because I think one of the reasons Patrick started to press early in that Super Bowl de Monzae is because being down 14 for last year's chiefs felt so different than any of the previous year.

chiefs. Down 14, three years ago, was, okay, we can start playing now. Down 10 in every Super Bowl they've ever played in. Take the lead back in a heartbeat.

And so, because it was so death by a thousand cuts, they felt they needed to, I think Patrick felt like, man, we better score right because we don't have this one play So I think they need to get that back. And I think the better offensive line, hopefully healthier receivers, even though

Rishi's now dealing with the groin, Hollywood Brown's still out with an ankle. That's not great. That should help that. I also saw there's an unbelievable stat courtesy, an unbelievable stat, courtesy of Warren Sharp that I would like to go over for a moment. But so quarterback's record when trailing entering the fourth quarter over the last five years, let me give you the top three from three to one, DeMonse. In third place, best record when trailing, entering the fourth last five years, okay?

Jalen Hertz, eight and 14. So that's pretty good. I mean, it's third best. It's that so 36% of the time the Eagles are trailing going into the fourth. They win anyway when Jalen starts. Second place, Lamar Jackson, seven and ten. 41% of the time. So that's almost half the time, bro, that the Ravens are trailing entering the fourth.

They win when Lamar's the quarterback. So third place is 36% Jalen. Second place is 41% Lamar. This is again, courtesy Warren Sharp. First place, record the last five years when trailing entering the fourth quarter. Patrick Mahomes, 14 and 7, 67%. That means the Chiefs would be an 1112 win team. if every game they trailed going into the fourth quarter.

And the other, like, C.J. DeMonse is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. He's eighth on this list. Two and ten, twenty percent. Josh Allen is above average. Three and fourteen, eighteen percent. Joe Burrow, four and twenty, three and twenty, three. 15%. Brock Purdy,

1 in 10, 9%. Like, so I say that for this reason. It's understandable that the chiefs kind of carry themselves like, eh, we'll figure it out. But it's harder to do that after you just got your teeth kicked in in the Super Bowl. Yeah. Um, and that is, they need to, they need to go ahead, demonstra.

What you say? Yeah. And I think Josh Simmons, the rookie left tackle and Xavier Worthy's ascension is going to help that quite a bit. By the way, late, the Madden ratings for this year, Xavier Worthy, a higher rating than Marvin Harrison Jr. And Roma Dunezay. Two top 10.

Now, just barely, but still, like, that is, the highest rated rookie receivers were neighbors, then Brian Thomas, then Xavier Worthy. So, yeah, I do think they need to bring back, as Brew would call it, the light show a bit. And I'm optimistic that they can. All right, let's talk a little more chiefs where we get some other stuff. Andy Reid's been hyping up your guy, Travis Kelsey. He's saying that he's calling him, he's calling him Sfelt, saying he looks 20. He's all slender.

A year ago, you said Travis Kelsey's got about eight more good games in him. Great games. Great games. Not good. Sorry. Got eight great games left in him. Has that number changed since, like, what would he have now at this time? Well, so this year.

Yeah, so I felt he, I thought he used a couple last year. Certainly, the playoff game against Houston was peak, Travis. And I also thought he left a lot out on the field, the Christmas Day game against Pittsburgh, that if they knew they won, they were going to get the long rest that they all desperately needed. Now, those aren't the only big games he had all year, but some of the other big games he had, yet I just thought were, you know, teams not being able to deal with him or, you know, how the game play in Philadelphia.

So, again, Swifties, please, because I got absolutely crushed for this take last year because people misunderstood what I was saying. I think when you are Travis's age at that position, you have to be very diligent about when you go full throttle. and I think he knows that he only has so many full throttle games left. Now, do I think the added chip on his shoulder for the fact that he didn't play up to his standard he said last year and the way they got their ass kicked in the Super Bowl and the fact that he shed some weight had probably a better off season, maybe replenish some of those games, that game count? Yeah, I've got to see him in week one to give this a real answer,

but I'm going to go out on a limb and say this. I think Travis this year will once again be one of the three most impactful players at his position. I think Travis and Brock Bowers and then make, Kittle, maybe Leporta, maybe the kid in Arizona are the other candidates. But I think Travis and Brock Bowers are going to be up there. And I think Travis, especially because teams are going to have to respect the deep ball more this year, he's going to have a lot more room to work with over that intermediate middle where he wants to.

Huge news. We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special.

So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast,

where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy, Not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier.

And I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris, every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Jenchian went. I mean, she went down at three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay.

Listen, Lena Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now, and I actually can win on any surface because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games.

Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's superhuman. Human documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A Saluca sign is 3-year 165 million extension with the Lakers over the weekend.

We've all been waiting on that. So now that's finally happened, do you think that it's time for L.A. to really press the gas on trying to succeed in the now? Well, listen, I got it. I said after they didn't resign Dorian Finney Smith that I thought there was a chance. I put Lucas signing the extension. Was it 90% I had it. I dropped it to like 75%. So I do think this is good, important, real news. I also think that because he signed the extension, they are able to slow walk this a bit if they want to because Lucas is not going anywhere over the next three years. And by the way, the next deal he'll sign to Monzae will be the league's first million dollar a game deal.

Super Max, yeah. Well, it was that what he was supposed to, was that what he was coming up on in Dallas? No, he was, no, he could have signed, no, the, he would have gotten the biggest deal ever in Dallas, but it wouldn't, we wouldn't have gotten that threshold yet. But three years from now, his contract will average more than $82 million a year. And there's 82 games. It's a really remarkable thing. Here is, though, my general Lakers take that no one, even the biggest anti-Lebron folks,

haven't been able to explain to me where I'm wrong on this. I think it is overwhelmingly likely that over the lifetime of this, extension these next three years. Luca never has a teammate better than LeBron is right now. Now listen, maybe they're going to get Janus and I'll be wrong. Maybe they're, you know, they have their eyes on Joker and I'll be wrong. But Shea ain't going anywhere and Tatum's not going anywhere. And now we're like running out of people who are better than

LeBron right now. Okay. So I would, if I were the Lakers, prioritize trying to win right now because if they think this is their last year with LeBron, I do not know that Luke is going to have a better running mate than LeBron over these next three years. Now, again, if they have real intel that if they keep the cap sheet clean, in two years, Janice plans on just coming there in free agency,

then so be it. Then you know what? If they, like, then see, you know, it's not like they're drawing dead this season. Like, they've got a nice roster.

Then keep it flexible. But that's a hell of a gamble to take. Like a hell of a gamble to take. Do you, are you worried at all that there's like a rift, potentially form between? Luca and LeBron or do you think that Luca knows that it's between? I don't think.

Yeah. I don't think it's between Luca and LeBron at all. LeBron was Luca's all-time favorite player. Luke is the guy LeBron tried to sign to his shoe line. Luke, like, I don't think there is anything between them at all. I think there is some obvious frustration for LeBron. Fair or not that the Lakers are not. not pressing the gas even more on this season. Now, you can say that's unfair that they shouldn't,

whatever, but that is to me the entirety of the frustration is, is that right there. Oh, yeah, so Baker Mayfield came in into that number 50 in the NFL top hundred list. He answers this year as the eighth best odds for MVP in Tampa Bay also just drafted Amika, Ibuka, and they're getting got one back from his injury. What are your expectations for Baker this year? expectations are he has another really good season. Sealing is he is a frontline MVP candidate and they are a true contender in the NFC. Like I think that's on the board. And here's the thing.

In order for them to be a contender, he has to be an MVP candidate because that defense is not going to be great. They are going to have to outscore people. But Baker had 40 touchdowns last year. He was a badass, man. Yeah, I mean, he was a badass last year. I'm so, and he right now has, I want to make sure I'm right about this, that I didn't miss it. Yeah, he's on the best non-rooky contract in the NFL. Three years, a hundred million bucks for Baker Mayfield.

He is one more good season away from getting a $250 million deal. he's been that level of player and I'm just happy for him man because the shit went so sideways on him yeah and his teammates love him he is true to himself he's tough he is a legit awesome playoff performer like this is the thing that people I think underrate with Baker he has played I think five career playoff games. I'm going to tell you what he did in them. First playoff game ever. The Cleveland Browns go into Pittsburgh, hang 48 on him. Baker throws for 263 touchdowns a 115 rating. Second playoff game ever, his only ever bad playoff game. He's against the two-time defending AFC champion. Oh, I'm sorry. He's against the defending Super Bowl champion

Chiefs and he's 23 to 37 for 200 yards, one touch, and one pick 75 rating. But he's in Arrowhead in round two against the 2020 Chiefs. Like no shame in that. He then makes the playoffs with Tampa, his first playoff game ever against Philly. And again, it's so crazy. This is Philly. This game was in January of 2024. Yeah, exactly.

32 to 9, three touchdowns, no pitch. picks, a 120 rating. The next game against Detroit, 350 yards, three touchdowns, two picks, a 95 rating they lose by eight. And then the game against Washington last year, a wild one, where he only throws 18 times, but he's 15 of 18 for a buck 85, two touchdowns, and a 147 rating. in his playoff career he's got a 106 rating 12 touchdowns three picks like he's just been awesome in the big game he gets better yeah so i yeah so i'm a baker believer through and through um all right uh let's do these last two real quick james cook is holding in as he looks for his contract extension uh after a few years a big dollar running backs paying off it seemed like the debate was put to rest but

uh that conversation opens back up again or do you think cook is just not that guy well no i just i think cook's really good but i the bills have no cap space he's under contract for five million bucks they know they can franchise tag him for not much and even if you think he's awesome do you think he's going to be awesome four years from now so like go ahead isn't he a huge part of their offense last year like what was huge buffalo Each of the last two years. Right, exactly. I just think they think he's going to blink, bro.

I don't think it's that they, you know what I mean? I think that they think we'll give him a little more money, but not long term. You know what I mean? Nothing long term. And then we'll or maybe a one year extension. But the report is he wants, you know, I don't know if it's what he wants.

I don't want to get this wrong. But I saw four years, 40 million bouncing around, which is only 10 million a year. But I just think they think at that position, his style in two years. years he could be done. And they just, it's just such a tough business for running backs, man. It's just such a tough business, um, for running backs.

Hey, it's us to Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast. Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we, how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys. I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before

Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this.

Yeah, the media has been super high on the Broncos.

You have not been. So is Sean Payton. He came out and said the short-term goal is winning the division, but this is a team capable of winning the Super Bowl. I've coached six teams that I thought could win a Super Bowl. This is my seven. Yeah, so should we believe in this? Is he too high?

Too low. He also said Bo Nix in the next two years going to be a top four or five quarterback in the world. He also said he's going to be a superstar. Also, by the way, check out when you're subscribing to What's Right with Nick Wright on YouTube. There's another new channel you can subscribe to on YouTube. Did you see this, Damase?

What is it? Bo Nix's new YouTube channel. And my take that Bo Nix, my take going into the draft was Bo Nix was Mac Jones. For those of you wondering how that has, how that looks so far, well, Mac Jones in year one with the New England Patriots

made a somewhat fraudulent Pro Bowl as an alternate. Bo Nix check. The team won 10 games kind of surprisingly, made the playoffs. Bo Nix check. The team played the Buffalo Bills in round one. lost by four touchdowns, Bo Nix check, and Mac Jones, that offseason,

trademarked Mac 10 and all this silly stuff because he was a future star. Go follow Bo Nix on YouTube. Here is my problem with the Broncos hype and discussion. Gosh darn it, Dexter. You know what? I actually think it's value ad It draws attention. It draws attention.

Exactly right. Here is what I think people are not recognizing when they are talking about the Broncos as content. Broncos have an excellent defense and that matters. Now, Dre Greenlaw is dealing with a quad already and Hufanga, who I love as a player, has been injured every year since his rookie season. those are their two big additions the other problem is this last year de monse

they won 10 games okay the first game they won they beat baker mayfield salute that's a real thing who's good who's who they beat after that okay

Aaron Rogers who the Jets then got rid of they then beat Spencer Rattler, who is in a quarterback, the saddest quarterback battle of the year. They then beat Bryce before Bryce got hot. They then beat Kirk Cousins right before they benched him. They then beat Gardner Menshoe, who I left that out earlier. They actually beat Gardner twice.

They then beat whoever the hell was starting for the Browns at the time, James, who is currently, I think, a third string quarterback. They then beat Anthony Richardson and they then beat Chad Henning. That's all their wins. Now, we are now saying they're contenders. Well, to be contenders, let's just start with the conference. How did you do against playoff teams in your conference?

Well, you played Pittsburgh week two and lost. You played the Chargers week six and lost you played the Ravens week nine and lost you played the chiefs Week 10 and lost you played the Chargers week 16 and lost you played the bangles who weren't in the playoffs But that was a playoff level game that game because they were still alive week 17 and lost you then played the bills in the actual playoffs and lost 31 to 7 Why am I supposed to believe that team all of a sudden is going to be great now? Folks out there like oh Nick you always just hate on the Broncos. Last year,

preseason, gambling show, our favorite win total of the year, Broncos over five and a half. Even though I didn't believe in Bo Nix because that number was too low. They had a last place schedule.

Russ, it was so terrible for him. I'm just calling it as I see it. And right now, is there, any other team this year or any year that you can remember that had the pretty universally accepted worst quarterback in their own division that we were like, yep, that team look out for them. Like, let's just look at the other teams across the league who have the worst quarterback

in the division, what we think of them. Justin Fields and the Jets were we afraid of them whoever's starting for the Browns Joe Flacco how are they looking the cults with Daniel Jones

the Giants with Russ the Vikings with JJ and again that's harsh on him but he's just young now maybe Monza is like, maybe it's Caleb.

Again, I don't think, I don't think people is, even though Caleb's stock is dropping, have JJ ahead of him. In the South, the Saints with whatever they're dealing with. And in the West, Seattle with Darnold or Arizona, I guess with, like, I, I just. They just believe in themselves. They're believers. Say it again. They're believers. They believe in themselves.

Sean Payton has talked a lot of shit, though. Yeah. And yeah, and listen, this is a tricky one because Sean Payton, as great of a coach as he is, he must be a better hang because the media loves him. So many of my colleagues at Fox just from the one year of working with him, they love him. I think Peter Schrager, my pal, He loves him. And we kind of give Sean Peyton a, you know, like he walks into Denver,

does the interview about what a clown show it was under Nat Hackett. And by week three, the dolphins are hanging 70 on him. Last year after sneaking into the playoffs and then getting absolutely demolished by Buffalo. has the audacity to say if we had won this game, we really liked our next matchup, which was going to be against the Chiefs, a Chiefs team that then beat the Buffalo team that he lost two by a hundred. And now he's like, talking division isn't big enough for us. We need to be talking Super Bowl when that team has not won the division since the last year,

They won the Super Bowl. I just. This is a weak NFL right now. I think what's going on. Maybe. And here's the other thing, DeMonse. I am very, very prepared for a month into the year, the Broncos to maybe be four and oh.

Yeah. And people. Yeah. And people are. firing stuff back at me. Like, because their softest part of their schedule is the beginning, in my opinion. Home for Tennessee, at the Colts, at the Chargers, which is a home game, home for Cincinnati. But I'm curious how the rest of that's going to go for them.

And we'll see. but I am I uh this is one where I have put my money where my mouth is I'm in the process right now of negotiating a real Broncos bet with poker legend and one of the best sports betters ever

David Baker um I think I'm going to give him Broncos to win the division at plus 320 and I think we're also going to what de Monzae you look flustered by that. He wants to bet

and give you money for the Broncos winning the division. Well, I got to give him plus 320. So, you know what I mean? If we bet a thousand bucks, he can win $3,200. But yeah, he wants that bet. And he,

but I'll also, I think, bet him make miss playoffs. And so, like, maybe I'll be wrong. But I'm, I want this take understood and I want to see and you know what maybe I'll maybe I'll make a third bet with David if we can find a fair price on this and have it be an either or and if it's neither then it's no action which is the Broncos are so much more likely to finish last in the AFC West than finish first. they are like i think the chargers are a are better than them i know the chiefs are better than them and i think the raiders because of schedule coaching quarterback i think the raiders can pop now

the most likely outcome is the broncos finished third i understand that but i see no outcome whatsoever where the Broncos finish first. And we'll see. We'll see how the future superstar Bo Nicks looks come November. Maybe I'll be wrong. I doubt it, though. And Boss AJS says in the chat, show us the team and quarterbacks the Chiefs beat.
