You don't want it. You don't need it, but you're going to get it anyway. The Kevin Sheehan Show. He is Kevin. So it's fourth down and goal. The Holmes out to his right. Back across for the touchdown to Hunt. His second of the night.

So for 30 minutes, it was a pretty good football game, but football games aren't 30 minutes. They're 60 minutes. I'm in for a less than 60 minute postgame podcast following Washington's 28 to 7 loss on Monday night football in Kansas City. A loss that drops them to 3 and 5. They've lost three in a row heading into a rather large late Sunday afternoon matchup at home against 5 and 2 Seattle. Window Nation is the presenting sponsor of this show, 86690 Nation or Windonation. if you need new windows.

I'll get to my game take in a few minutes. I'll start with this. So two things, in my opinion, are true about tonight's game. Number one is this. Washington was ready. They came to play, and they played well in the first half as 10.5. 11-point underdogs, not given much of a chance. They played well enough to have the game tied up at 7 apiece at the break,

and really they were the better team over the first 30 minutes. They were, but they just couldn't turn some of that better football into more scoring, into more points. The second thing that's true is that the chiefs against this team that they face tonight are just much better, and they proved it by dominating the game after halftime. And it wasn't they as much as he dominated the game. after half time. Patrick Mahomes took the game over in the second half. He made one off-schedule, extended in the pocket, outside of the pocket, play after another. He's one of the greatest of all

time. And tonight was one of those nights where, you know, if you're not sure how great he is, just turn on the second half tape from tonight's game. 17 of 19 for 210 yards and 3.3. touchdowns in the second half. Many of those 17 completions and much of that 210 yards, off-schedule plays, plays where he improvises after his first and second reads aren't there, or he gets pressure and he's forced to go into Mahomes mode, you know, creating more time, sometimes in the pocket, sometimes outside of it. It's just so instinctual. It's so high level. very few who have ever played the game have done that the way he does it. He is just exceptional when it comes to that second part of a play.

The first part of it doesn't work. Now the quarterback needs to make it happen, and he is one of the greatest to ever do it. You know, 28 to 7 was the final score, so the win goes to the Chiefs. but the margin of victory goes to Mahomes. You know, overall, I'm not that upset about tonight. I'm not.

I feel like there was a lot of encouraging things to take away from tonight, heading into a stretch of schedule that's going to determine whether or not, you know, our team is playing for stakes in December or just playing out the string when we get to December. Seattle this week, Detroit the week after, then it's Madrid against the dolphins, then they get a buy week, and then it's Denver after that. The next four games, three at home, and the fourth in Madrid against the dolphins. They have to find a way to win three of the next four. They really do. Three of the next four would put them at six and six heading into December with five games left and give them a chance. Marcus Marriota played very well tonight, but they have no real shot to get back into this thing without Jaden Daniels playing and Jaden Daniels being healthy and playing. They need him back and they need him back ASAP. You know, he looked awfully giddy tonight, smiling, laughing a lot. I hope that's a sign that he's going to be ready to go this week against the Seahawks.

Hopefully Terry got out of the game okay tonight, but it didn't look that way. He didn't play that much in the fourth quarter, if at all. They were looking at his quad. They need him. They need him and Debo out there. We haven't seen the two of them out there together that much this year. And the two of them out there together, it's a difference.

It's a difference for the quarterback. It's a difference for the other pass catchers. They are in a very, very little margin for error moment in their season, and they need their best players on the field. That includes Tunsel who got hurt tonight. Brandon Coleman was active, fortunately, for the first time in a while. I say fortunately, because he played so much left tackle last year, but they need Tunsel healthy. Kinlaw got banged up. Every one of these games produces, it seems like, more injuries and concerns, and it seems like recently it's been with their

best players. And there just isn't much room here for, you know, games in which their best players aren't on the field. We'll see. We'll get, you know, injury news tomorrow and on Tuesday, or on Wednesday, excuse me, heading into the Seattle game. You know, not all losses are the same. They count the same in the standings. But tonight's loss just felt different. different. I think the team's new culture was on display tonight. You know, Quinn said to Laura Rutledge at the end of the first quarter in that interview that he did on the sideline, you know, we came tonight to play as if we were living on the edge. And they did play that way. They tried new things. They played with great urgency. They hit hard. They tackled well. You know, they were ready for tonight. Don't roll your

eyes. I know some of you are rolling your eyes. I'm aware of what the final score was, but Kansas City is just better, a lot better than the team Washington put out there tonight. And Mahomes is just way too good for a team that has major issues on defense, no matter that they played one of their best halves of the season. By the way, as it relates to the defense, it's not like I gained a lot confidence in the defense tonight, but I did respect the effort. I respected that they tried, you know, some new things. I'm not sure what some of those alignments were that they were in. At one point, I wrote down 254, as in two D-Linmen, five players playing behind the D-Linman, who were Kinlau in pain, and then four in the secondary. I saw Kinlaw line up at defensive end.

saw a pain lineup. I thought at defensive end. I can't wait to go back and watch it again because they showed some things that were odd looking to say the least in terms of their alignments. But I love that they tried new things. And, you know, they got pressure on Mahomes. They hit Mahomes tonight. You know, Reeves, Jacob Martin, Kinlaw, there were some big time hits and plays in that first half. The defense got two takeaways, you know, tonight. And it would have been a third if Lattimore hadn't tried to pick up Rishi Rice's fumble in the second half instead of just falling on it. But look, in the second half, the defense got Mahomes. You know, they just got absolutely shredded by the best in recent memory and maybe the best ever to do it.

They had chances to make plays at times, even in the second half. but he was just too good. The offense is incomplete. It's just incomplete without Jaden. But the plan early tonight, I thought, was excellent. Mario dao involved in every aspect of the run game. Zone reads, designed runs, an RPO or two. You know, the zone read play action worked because of his ability

to kind of freeze the defense as a potential runner. the results weren't consistent over 60 minutes, but I loved the plan early. You know, it was good balance. It was good down and distance. No punts, no penalties. They had a four and a half minute time of possession advantage at the break. But, you know, they had a couple of those misses.

Debo dropped a pass that turned into a killer interception on the opening drive. The two fourth down misses in field goal range, killers, one of those misses by five inches after the virtual measurement. But I thought the approach was right. I thought the execution was really good in the first half, not good enough necessarily or consistent enough in the second half. Yeah, Jalen Lane's botched kickoff return really put them into a hole on their first drive of the second half.

They had an offensive line miscommunication between. it looked like Connerley Jr. and Cosme on that third down sack when they were in Kansas City territory on their second offensive drive in the second half. And look, by the time they got the ball back for the third time in the second half, it was the fourth quarter and it was 28 to 7 game over. I think tonight was certainly an indication that the team bought into what Quinn and the staff was selling this week. That was a team that was ready. to play, stare at the final score and the box score all you want. But if you don't think that that team was ready to play, I can't help you on that. The Chiefs and Mahomes are just better,

you know, a lot better. The way they played tonight can carry over into this next stretch of games. I believe that. You know, they need a few breaks with healthy players. They got to get some of these guys back. And Jaden is the big wild card because they can't do it. without him, and without him playing at or near the level that he played at last year. So Sunday against Seattle feels like a game with, you know, the season somewhat on the line. They'll have to bring it like they did tonight and hope that Sam Darnold doesn't turn into Patrick Mahomes. I don't think there's any threat of that, but Darnold in that offense are pretty damn good.

He's working against Jalen Moore, who's making his third start at left tackle for Josh Simmons, and he just continues to play. And when you watch him, this is what he brings.

It's all day that he's going to bring that energy. Souter on Wednesday's film breakdown said that Jacob Martin is their best pass rusher with Dorrance Armstrong out. Two sacks, multiple pressures tonight. He was outstanding. This segment of the show brought to you by Window Nation.

Here's Kevin's Game Take. The Game Take, as always, a list of the good, the bad, and the other. I'll start. with the good.

And I'll be repetitive. Number one on the list, the energy. You know, this was a tough spot tonight, double-digit underdogs against a red-hot team in the most difficult venue in the NFL without their starting quarterback, without their best defensive player, you could argue. Dorrance Armstrong.

And they weren't given much of a shot at all. So credit to Dan Quinn, the coaches and the players, they came in ready, As Quinn said, at the end of the first quarter, they were living on the edge. They were being bold and everything they did. They were going for it, and you could see it, and you could feel it watching the game. Both sides of the ball flying around on defense in particular. They were hitting in that first half.

They tackled well. They went after it from the jump. It wasn't anywhere near enough, obviously. But as I said, I think the effort was respectable, more than respectable, not many teams beat Kansas City with the way the Chiefs played in the second half. Number two on the list of things that I thought were good. The first half defense, you know, for our team, this was as good as it's been recently. The Chiefs had to work for everything in the first half.

There were some plays that didn't go well. The 27-yard throw in their opening drive to worthy, it looked like another coverage mish. Maybe it was Amos on this one. There were a couple of short, third-down conversions that were a bit too easy. But overall, they got pressure on Mahomes. They sacked him. They pressured him. He threw two picks.

One was a legit pick in coverage, excellent coverage by Lattimore. The other was Kelsey, you know, dropping a pass and having it knocked up into the air, kind of like the Debo, you know, give back. But Wagner still had to catch it. Jacob Martin had multiple sacks tonight pressures. He forced a bad throw on one of his pressures that ended up being an incompletion. Reeves was all over the field, hitting just everything that moved. Yeah, the first half defense was good.

Kinlaw was a beast in the first half. They weren't perfect, but I was expecting much more of a one-sided, you know, mismatch, Kansas City's offense against Washington's defense. And I thought the defense got the better of the first half against the Chief's offense. Mahomes said after the game, by the way, that Washington was the better team in the first half, and they played with more energy. And they had to match Washington's energy. He was right.

Of course, you know, they did that in the second half. That's why the first half defense is on this list of the things that I love. liked, as is the first half offense. I liked everything other than their inability to score points, which obviously hurt, but they were going for it. You know, the Debo, you know, looking ahead before bringing the ball in, taking his eyes off, that was devastating. They were on the move.

I mean, that's an opening drive point getter for them. And then, you know, you get the two fourth down missing. I'm not sure what that second one was, you know, clearly a deep shot for Terry, but he doesn't run. And I don't know, I'm not sure what that was. The other fourth down miss was five inches based on the virtual measurement. But they did a lot of good things in the first half. They moved the football. Like I said, Marioo was a part of the run game.

I counted on the opening drive alone, three zone reads, one of which he kept, the other two he gave Dukrosky Merritt, a design quarterback counter on third and three for seven yards. An RPO throw, I'm pretty sure, to McCaffrey. They had 194 yards of offense in the first half. They were five for seven on third down. They averaged 6.1 yards per play. No punts, no penalties. A four and a half minute, as I mentioned, time of possession advantage.

And yet, just seven points. You know, they could have opted for field goals instead of, going for the two fourth downs. I'm glad they went for the fourth downs. I think they needed to go for the fourth downs. They had the backup kicker in for Matt Gay, who hurt his back over the weekend. Matthew Wright was called up, signed to the practice squad, and then called up basically in about an hour and a half late this afternoon early this evening.

You know, the first fourth down was a fourth and six at the chief 40. That would be a 57-58-yard field goal. I'm not even sure if Wright can kick it that far. And they came up five inches short. I actually thought it was a bad spot. But the second one, fourth and one at the Kansas City 28, you're not kicking a field goal on fourth and one. Seven first half points was the output,

and that wasn't good enough based on the fact that they were consistently moving the football into Kansas City territory. You know, the running game was okay. K in the first half, but it was kind of tough throughout the game. The Chiefs did load it up a little bit and dare at times Marioota to beat them with his arm. But I thought the first half offense and the first half defense were pretty good and should have, should have generated more of, you know, an output, more points. Marcus Mario is on the list of things that I liked from this game. In the first half in particular, how about 14 of 17 for 155 yards, another 23 yards rushing? For the game, 21 of 30, that's 70% completion percentage, 213 yards. The one touchdown to Terry on a great look back and a crazy throw, right?

I mean, that thing was lobbed. It was up in the air, and Terry made a great catch. He had two picks, the first one, obviously. not his fault. And the second one happened at the very end of the game, 12 seconds left in the game. You know, he was sacked a few times. He avoided at least another two to three sacks with his escapeability. First half, you know, he was a guy that was really, I thought, playing excellent point guard, you know, distributing the ball, but being a part of the run game. Him being a part of the run game was so huge to what they were able to do, even though they didn't gain a lot of yards

on the ground. They got some, especially in the first half. The play action off of the zone read was very effective. I thought Mario da did a lot tonight. I think we know what he is. He is an excellent backup for this team and for this offensive coordinator in particular. if they need him to start games, he gives you a chance to win. You know, he is a professional. I think they should bring him back next year. I think they should bring him back the year after. I think if he wants to be in this role for years to come,

he's got plenty of years left in a role like this. There were a couple of plays. I love the third and three counter. You know, I hate when Jaden runs the quarterback counters and the quarterback powers. but it actually looks better with Marioada because he's got a bigger frame. I thought that, you know, the zone read keeper and then the gives were, I think they were the right decisions. You know, he had really good off-schedule throws to McNichols and to McCaffrey on that second drive. The fourth and six to Ertz, five inches short, you know, I thought it was a good throw,

or it's, you know, has to get there. had that read option play action drop back off the read option, you know, presentation and the throw to Bates for 22. Had that very nice flat pass to Senate for 22 yards. Check down to McNichols for 18 on that beautiful lob where he kind of created some time and then just sort of shoved it and lobbed it over the line of scrimmage to McNichols. The throw to Terry on the touchdown was crazy, you know, precise. I thought maybe it was a little bit late, but probably not. It's probably the only chance he's got to complete it with where the defense was. I thought Marcus Mariotta was a solid BB plus in this game. Terry, Terry's on the list of things that I liked.

Two incredible catches. Getting both feet down on the touchdown, first ruled out, then review. calls at a touchdown. And the one on the sideline, that ability to stretch, catch, contested, and have, you know, his actual thigh hit inbounds before any part of his feet touched out of bounds. He had that beautiful drift route over the middle. That was one of those, you know, read-option play-action plays. Remember RG3 and 2012 running that over and over again to Pierre Garcone? exactly that play. They play the run because it's Marioada and it works as a great play action ability, which keeps the pass rush a little bit at bay and opens things up behind that

layer of linebackers. Terry was really solid. I hope he's okay. Three catches for 54 yards and a touchdown on four targets. Jeremy McNichols just continues to be an excellent player for this team. Five catches for 64 yards. Led the team in catches, led the team in yardage. I'm sure he had some really good pass protection pickups as well. Big Luke McCaffrey, how about another big kickoff return? Opening kickoff, 37 yards. They start at their own 42, 43 yard line, whatever it was. Great job. Then he had that sideline catch for 17 yards on a really good throw on the sideline by Marioota. Great job to get both feet in. Also on the list of good. Back to the defense. I mentioned these names, but Kinlaw, Reeves, Jacob Martin, Latimore, Kwan Martin with a bunch of

tackles and some big hits. Yeah, he had that 15-yard penalty, which really hurt. Also on the good list, two takeaways, a team that only had three total in seven games, adds two. One of them was a gift from Kelsey for sure, but the Latimore interception, that had to feel good for him the way he's been picked on. A lot of zone coverage tonight, a lot of zone coverage. But he played that well against Hollywood Brown and made a great play to stay inbound after the catch. Yeah, I guess that kind of finishes off the list of things that I liked from the game. All right, what I didn't like, look, seven points, you know. especially when they had the opportunity for more in the first half.

You just needed to take advantage of a half in which they moved the football. They had takeaways. They just were in position to score more than seven, and they didn't. The Debo that led to the interception, the two fourth down opportunities that they missed on. And Kansas City made their fourth downs and took advantage of, you know, the opportunities they had especially in the second half. So number one is when you play as well as they did in the first half and you only end up with seven points, that's painful. I'm not saying they deserved more because Debo needs to catch that ball and Ertz needs to get another five inches and there can't

be a miscommunication on a fourth and six. Seven points, number one on the list of things that I did not like. The second half defense is on the list of things that I didn't like. The first half defense was on the good list. So the second half defense, look, they couldn't get off the field. In recent weeks, it's been a lot, you know, I think it's been a lot more painful to watch them get shredded up and down the field. I actually thought that they were in position to make plays at times, but that Mahomes was just incredible in creating more time, and they were just very successful on Mahomes extending plays. That's hard for any defense, including good defenses.

But, you know, the first possession is kind of a good example. Like Bobby Wagner tips a pass that ends up being incomplete to set up a third and long. But as the ball's getting tipped and Noah Gray is trying to catch it, Here comes Juan Martin thinking that Gray is going to have a chance to catch it, and he hits a defenseless receiver 15 yards, crushing penalty. Two plays later, there's good coverage all over the field, and then somehow Mahomes works his way, excuse me, all the way back to the checkdown, which is Kelsey, and he runs for 38. But the coverage for the first part of the play was great. God, Mahomes' vision is just amazing. And then they get tough in the red zone and they force a fourth and goal at the two, and they have everything covered up. But Mahomes, once again, extends the play and finds Hunt.

Yeah, there was a coverage issue with Wagner and getting picked and no switch there. But that was the second part of the play, too. Bottom line, though, look, Kansas City scored touchdowns on their first three drives of the second half. half. They ran the ball really well against Washington, especially in the second half. Rice was really good for them. Kelsey, the same. But those three drives, listen to this, 29 plays, 249 yards, three touchdowns. They only faced two third downs over that 29 play three drive stretch. I thought the effort was there, but eventually they, got worn down by back-breaking brilliance from Mahomes. The second half run defense in particular,

they did a decent job in the first half, but Mahomes, you know, making plays is one thing. You can't really do much against him when he goes into that Mahomes mode. It's hard to stop that, but they didn't do a good job against Pacheco and company in the second half. Kansas City rushed for 90 yards in the second half, 5.6 yards per Kempi. carry in the second half. For the game, it was 30 for 148, 4.9 yards per carry. They gave up, you know, more explosives, six plays of 15 yards or more, four of 24 or more. But again, a lot of it was just Mahomes in that second act of a play. You know, creating time you can't cover for as long as he extends. Certainly not without a consistent pass rush. And they don't have.

one of those. On my list of things that I didn't like, Jalen Lane's botched kickoff return after Kansas City took a 14 to 7 lead was really hurtful. I mean, the offense actually got it out of there after that botched return. You know, they hit that drift on the read option play action to Terry for like 20.

And then on the third and five versus the blitz, Lane kind of stumbled and couldn't pull in the throw out at about the 30-yard line from Marcus. But you can't botch the kickoff return. They started kicking in his direction instead of McCaffrey's because of how good McCaffrey is. And then one more thing on the list of things that I didn't like. The end of the first half, you know, they were playing bold tonight.

They were living on the edge. Well, if you're going to live on the edge, how about calling a time out after that intentional grounding with six seconds to go and make Kansas City punt the football. If you're living on the edge, if you're being super bold, you know, you had that situation. It was a weird end of that half. It looked like Kansas City was going to get, you know, into field goal range. And then Louvre's pressure almost gets the sack and Mahomes throws it left-handed out of the pocket but not back to the line of scrimmage.

So they call grounding. six seconds left on the clock. Well, there's a 10-second runoff on intentional grounding, unless either team has timeouts left and chooses to take them. Kansas City had no timeouts left. Washington had three left. They could have called a timeout. Now there's the possibility that maybe they don't put their punt team out there.

You're not seeing a punter stand at his own 17- or 16-yard line with six seconds. Maybe they snap it back to Mahomes. he runs around and then hauls one deep from, you know, the 20-yard line out of bounds, you know, 40, 50 yards down field to run the final six seconds of the clock off. That's possible, you know, I guess you could say, well, if he throws the ball deep and you get an interference, but six seconds isn't three seconds. And if you get quick pressure and you were getting pressure and somehow you got a quick sack in five seconds or forced him to throw it away in five, You know, there was a chance they were going to punt that. There was a chance they were going to punt it. And with Lane, he's already got a 90-yard punt return this year.

I just think that they weren't even thinking about it in that moment. Maybe they were, and maybe they didn't want Mahomes to run around and make a play and throw a bomb on the last play of the first half with the time expired and end up with a pass interference 40 yards down field where they could kick a field goal. I get it. There is some risk in letting them run another play, but more likely than not, it's going to be either a Mahomes play to end the half or they're going to line up to punt it. And you're going to have an opportunity to go after the punter, try to block it. And by the way, in that situation, you don't have to worry about roughing the punter because 15 yards isn't going to get them in field goal range with an untimed down.

Yeah, I just thought that, you know, if you're being bold tonight, let's make them punt the ball or maybe take one more snap. All right, I've got a few other observations to wrap this up when we come back after these words from a few of our sponsors.

Jeremy Reeves has been everywhere. I think everything that I've talked about so far about the effort, the urgency, the speed, the hitting, the competitiveness, I think it was reflected more in Jeremy Reeves to. night than anybody else. That dude was wound up and ready to go. Now, I think he always is, but the hit on Mahomes on the third and ten a yard short of the first down. Now, they did convert the fourth and one. He had that stop on Kelsey in the flat, had another one, I think it was on

Rice near the line of scrimmage. There were multiple times where Joe Buck and Troy Aitman were going, there he is again, like you just heard in that particular call. This is a try-hard team across the board. They're just limited on defense and with the injuries severely limited. But they have not stopped giving you all that they have. They just don't have enough on defense, that's for sure. They'll have enough on offense if they can get healthy, meaning get their quarterback back. And hopefully by Sunday.

before I get to just a few other observations from tonight's game, want to mention that Seattle is a three and a half point favorite at My Booky Sunday. By the way, I mentioned in the open, I'm pretty sure I haven't gone back and listened to it yet, and I'm not going to fix it, even though I'm pretty sure I said it and I would be wrong if I did say it. The game against Seattle is not Sunday afternoon. It's a Sunday night game. It's an 820 kick in Lando. My bookie has Seattle minus three and a half.

Washington's going to be in those throwback, old school, their real uniforms, hopefully the uniforms that become their true uniform week in and week out starting next year. You know, Seattle being a three and a half point favorite in Landover, just so you know what that means. If they played on a neutral field, they'd be a six and a half point favorite. If they played this game in Seattle, they'd be a nine and a half. half point favorite. Now, if Jaden is announced in for the game, that number will change. That'll come back to pick them, Washington minus one somewhere around there. The number that they have up is a number that reflects, I think, more so Marcus Mariotta starting the game. The total

in the game is 46. If you want to bet on that or anything else, my bookie is the place to do it. go to the Kevin Sheeonshow.com slash my bookie and use my promo code, DC reload for a 50% cash bonus. All right, let's get to a few other observations and then let's get out of here. The first one came at the two-minute warning. It was a play where Washington was on the move down 7-0, second and 10 at the Kansas City 21-yard line. McNichols catches the pass, and then I thought he got 10 yards in the first down. but they marked it a yard short.

Well, after the clock ran down to a minute 26, and I was watching the clock and the play clock, because I'm like, don't go hurry up here. You don't want to score too quickly. You don't want to give Kansas City time to answer. You want to leave them with the least amount of time. And Andy Reid didn't call a time out after the McNichols play. He had two left, but didn't call it.

Well, after review comes down, stops the game, and puts the spot at the marker and gives Washington the first down, they put the clock back to a minute 54, and then gave Andy Reed an option of calling a time out, and he did. I mean, I don't know why he didn't call it on the previous play, I guess because it was first and 10 versus third and one. You know, you want to save as much time as possible. You don't want Washington to run 40 seconds off the clock,

which is what they were intending to do. I thought that was weird that they gave him the opportunity after putting the clock back after fixing the spot. You know, Kansas City's first drive of the third quarter when they ended up scoring on the fourth and goal to take a 14 to 7 lead. A couple of plays before, Rishie Rice, stretched the ball out to about the one-yard line

on what was a second goal at the Washington 8. And, you know, you could see his foot touches out of bounds with the ball almost inside the one-yard line. And they marked it closer to the three-yard line. It was a terrible spot. They ended up going third and goal from the two and a half. There was an offsetting penalty play. Then they threw incomplete. And then they went for the fourth in goal.

And they ended up, you know, Mahomes to hunt after he extended the play. but Kansas City, I thought, got jobbed on that ball spot, and they didn't fix it. What else do I have here? Yeah, I've already mentioned Latimore should have fallen on that ball. That was a big play, you know, it's 14 to 7 because Washington had just come off the, you know, lane botching the kickoff return, starting at the one, gaining some yardage, and then on the third and five, Lane sort of stumbles and has a chance to catch it, but doesn't. was actually almost intercepted.

Wouldn't have been Mario da's fault. I don't know. Maybe he could have gone somewhere else with the ball. But Kansas City gets it back and Rishi Rice fumbles the ball. It's on the ground. And Lattimore, instead of falling on it, which he had the opportunity to do, tried to pick it up and run and Rice reached out and snagged it and recovered it. By the way, how about this?

That was Kansas City's eighth fumble on this season. they have recovered all of them. They haven't lost one fumble this year. I've kind of already mentioned this, but the Mario to sack when they're down 21 to 7, and they've got to answer in a late third quarter. They're at the Kansas City 38. They've moved it again.

That's the big one to Terry downfield against McDuffie where they challenged and it was ruled catch. You know, Mario da pounded the ground. I don't think it was on him. I think it was Cosmy. You saw him talking on the sideline. I think Cosmy and or Connerly Jr. messed up. I don't know which one did, but they turned Dana loose, free rusher. And Marioita had no prayer. And that was a nine-yard loss. It's out of field goal range. You're third and 11. You have a chance there. Third and 11, even if you don't get a first down. Getting some yards gives you the option of going for the fourth down again or kicking the field goal, but it's 21-7. You're probably going to go for the fourth down, but now it's

fourth and 21, and you don't have a shot, so you end up punting the football. Yeah, I think that's it, man. I think that's it. You know, the sack by Newton late and the 15-yard penalty, I think that was a good call. And I think Newton, you know, like the team, was frustrated at that point. But God, man, it was not like a real physical trying to throw down Mahomes where he could have gotten hurt. But it's Mahomes. You're going to get that called, you know. Yeah, the only other thing I wrote down, I know this is silly down 287, but, and I know they wanted to get out of there at that point and not risk anything. But I don't know. I'm always thinking four or five minutes left in the game. Let's use our timeouts up. Let's use them up. Let's try to get the ball. Maybe we get a quick one. We get a punt

return or something. And it's 2814 with two and a half to go. And we kick it on sidekick and make things interesting. But I think Quinn just wanted to get out of there. And I don't think he wanted anybody else to get hurt. So, all right. There you go. Again, last week, the score, I think really indicated how badly they got beat up. And, you know, the second half of that game got completely away from them. And they just, the defense was, it was a much worse look against Dallas than it was tonight. The score is lopsided. The overall, you know, statistical numbers, 432 yards to 260. Of course, most of those yards in the second half. but, you know, 26 first downs to 14.

The time of possession completely shifted in the second half. Washington had a four and a half minute time of possession advantage in the first half, and they ended up basically at 34, 26, you know, minus eight minutes. You know, with that last pick, which didn't matter at all, with 12 seconds to go, they didn't win the turnover margin. They won the penalty battle. They had zero penalties in the first half. ended up with three for 35.

Kansas City, nine penalties, 95 yards. There was some hidden yardage gains on special teams until Jalen Lane botched that kickoff return. You know, overall, I feel the way I feel right now. I think that the key was not scoring when they had a chance to put up, you know, some points, some real points in the first half that would have really made it a game and potentially given them, you know, the lead at half.

They didn't run the ball. That was one of my keys very well. But I thought early on, they used Marcus Mario da in the run game. And that ended up helping in the play action game. And I thought Kansas City, after it became apparent that Marcus Marioata was going to be a big part of the run game, that they started to play it that way and started to load the box a bit. Three straight losses. season through eight games is certainly not what we thought it would be. Injuries are a big part

of the story so far in 2025, but the good news is that the key, key players on offense, they can get those guys back in time for this next crucial four-game stretch where they got to get three of them. They have to get three of these next four. And as you look at them, you know, the Dolphins in Madrid is probably the one you figure they'll get, but who knows about a game, you know, internationally and the motivation that Miami might have and they played better this weekend. I think the second easiest one is probably the one on Sunday,

and Seattle's a hell of a football team, but so is Detroit and so is Denver. I mean, this is a stretch of schedule before the season you'd say, oh, that Detroit game, big game. But Seattle's 5 and 2, Denver's 6 in 2 right now. These are going to be tough, tough games, but you've got them at home, and if you get five back, you got a shot. All right, that's it.

Be back tomorrow with Tommy.
