The death of a dynasty. Did we see that last night? The Kansas City Chiefs took on the Houston Texans and it just felt like every week we talked, Joe, about the Kansas City Chiefs in a must win to save their season environment and just not winning enough of those games. 20 to 10 final, the Houston Texans come away with a victory. This game was tied entering into the 4th quarter. 10 points for the Texans, none for the Chiefs. That was their doom. But also Understand this. You can be the greatest quarterback, the most talented quarterback, the best head coach that we've ever seen. If you don't have an offensive line, your offense cannot work. Patrick Mahomes last night, Joe, 14 of 33, 160 yards, no touchdowns, 3 interceptions, an incredible stat line for one of the best to ever play. Uh, you know, Donny, and those decisions there in the second half, uh, you know, with Andy Reid and Mahomes, some of those 4 down calls, it, it felt rushed, it felt panicked. They looked panicked. They didn't, you know, they weren't the calm, cool, collective self that they have been over the last decade, and it showed. I mean, Ray Rice dropping a wide open pass that hit his hands on a 4th and 1, you know, not Mahomes' fault you mentioned. Of course, Kelsey, but it's just very strange because I believe Houston had a 4th and 1 at their own 30, 31 yard line. They opted to punt it away and for some reason, uh, I, I don't know, the Chiefs just thought their defense wasn't doing a good enough job. It was 10-10 in the 4th, I, I, I don't know why they felt such urgency, uh, to start the fourth quarter, to have to go that route, but they didn't execute and ended up catching him. And also, you, you know, because I like when coaches are aggressive, but also smart aggressive. In a Thai football game where defense is playing well, not a great look to go for it on your own 31 because understand this, Joe, when you go for it on the plus 31, it's like, OK, we don't get it. Well, the other team's got to drive 70 yards for a touchdown. If you get the 4th and 1 conversion, let's say you get 5 yards, where does that put you, Joe? 35 yard line, your own there. There's no guarantee you're even getting points out of that. But if you don't get the first down, you are now changing the momentum of the game and giving everything for the Houston Texans. And a couple of plays later, boom, Texans punched that in for a touchdown. The Chiefs could never get off the carpet. It's interesting to me that the Chiefs, knowing the situation for what they were looking forward to, you want to be aggressive, but sometimes being aggressive stupidly and also you have one of the best short yardage running backs in professional football and Kareem Hunt, who also showed you on the touchdown he scored early in the game. Ran through like 5 dudes to get into the end zone. Hand it to him if you don't get it, you live with it. A pass play that went incomplete, tough scene for the Kansas City Chiefs, but also looking at what we're getting out of the Houston Texans. CJ Strout, 15 to 31, wasn't efficient but did enough and didn't turn the football over. He only had a QBR rating of 33.5. Also, the Houston rushing game, which Woody Marks isn't a great back, only 68 yards, and by the way, they finished as a team, 2.6 yards per carry. The Amazing part for me, Joe, is the Kansas City Chiefs' offense. We were led to believe coming into the season, you know what? revamped. They're gonna have a decent running game. You got Mahomes at quarterback. You'd have 3 quality wide receivers that can a get downfield and also have the intermediate routes along with Travis Kelse at tight end. They never turned out to be that big play offense and also Patrick Mahomes completing 20 yard passes downfield, one of the worst in football. How did that ever come to be? Yeah, I, you know, again, in total, Donnie, I think 6 balls that hit receivers in the hands that would have been for big plays, uh, and they dropped every one of them. One, and Kelsey's was, you know, that one was the interception. You know, he did that too in week 2 against Philadelphia. You remember it should have been a touchdown in the end zone and instead he bobbles it and that's the end of that. So it wasn't just him, but I mean Rice, uh, you had also the other tight end there had two balls and gray hit him in the hands, he didn't. It's just very un. Uh, Kansas City like here and ultimately it ended up, uh, catching them and, you know, maybe Andy Reid was like, hey, listen, we got to take some chances. We gotta do something here because he knew what the rest of us knew watching it. Yeah, this just doesn't look like a very calm, cool, and collected Chiefs team anymore.
