  Speaker 1: for Craig Way as Craig Way and Cameron Parker in
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Las Vegas for the Longhorn season opener against the Ohio
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: State Buck Guys, if we missed any of the show,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: don't miss the podcast. You can go back and listen
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to your favorite segments on the podcast version of the show.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: As we've gone over the SEC finding South Carolina, James
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Franklin owning up to the loss against Ohio State, and
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: of course all your news on the Dallas Cowboys as
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: it is official. Dak Prescott a torn hamstring on the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: short list for the IR Not on the IR yet,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: but potentially could be as the trade deadline looms for
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the NFL. But tonight the game of the night. It's
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Monday Night Football. You wait for it all weekend. It's
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Kansas City versus Tampa Bay. Buccaneers enter this game four
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and four. The Chiefs, of course unbeaten. Now, the Buccaneers
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: this season have been a very good defensive team. They
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: have consistently been the type of team that can hold
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: on to big games like this. Now, the Chiefs open
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: up as a nine point favorite at home. Tampa Bay
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: has been kind of sold as the team to watch
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: in the NFC South, especially now when you consider how
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: quickly the New Orleans Saints have fallen apart. Dennis Allen
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: fired today as the Saints head coach. It will be
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: one of the things to keep an eye on is
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: how bad can the NFC South be or how bad
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: will the NFC South winner be? Now? The Bucks four
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and four. They played tonight. The Atlanta Falcons take out
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys yesterday. They're six and three with Kirk o
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Chain's Kirk Cousins, but fans know the calendar flips over
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: her Cousins struggles in the month of November trying to
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: get Yes, let's keep it moving here. Yes, the Kansas
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: City Chiefs, they've reached the point where they're trying to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: make history every single week. Patrick Mahomes is the fastest
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: player in NFL history to reach thirty thousand yards. He
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: did that last week against the Las Vegas Raiders. Travis Kelce.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: He's sitting one reception shy of passing Tony Gonzalez for
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the franchise record in touchdown catches. The Chiefs are seven
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to zero, the last unbeaten team in the league. If
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: they can continue, then will be winning their fourteenth game.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Going back to last season, Now, we all remember how
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: good of a team that that seven New England Patriots
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: team that went eighteen and one couldn't get the job
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: done in the championship game against the New York Giants.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: But we are now sitting at that precipice. When you
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: look at the Chiefs schedule, they have a shot to
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: do the unthinkable. Now, again, seven to zero is not
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: necessarily nineteen and oh, but you look at their schedule.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: They get done with the Bucks tonight, then they have
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: a game against the Denver Broncos at home. The next
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: tough test will be in Buffalo when they play the Bills.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: That game is the seventeenth of November. The rest of
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the schedule, though they have the Texans at home, they
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: got to go to Pittsburgh. But this is a doable
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: stretch of games for Kansas City. If they want to
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: try to win out, they might have the shot to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: do it. They would be the team I think that
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: most would pick if there was ever going to be
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: a team that went undefeated. It feels fitting that the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Chiefs trying to get their third title in four years
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: would be that type of would be that team. They're
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: also trying to not only win their third title, they're
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: trying to win their fourth title in five years. Three peep.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: It's helped that they brought back a Kareem Hunt. If
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you remember, Hunt played most of his career in Cleveland,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: playing very well. He has rejoined his old team. And
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: also the Chiefs made a massive trade. They brought in
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, who had a very good career in Houston
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: before getting bounced around the league now with the Chiefs,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and according to Andy Reid, he has been shocked how
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: quickly these two have kind of come together. Most quarterbacks
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: need time to develop chemistry with their number one receiver.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: But of course we saw last year the number one
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: receiver was essentially Travis Kelcey kind of I guess he
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: would be the number one receiver for Patrick Mahons. But
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: then the drop off between Kelsey and Juju Smith Schuster
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: was number two, right, there wasn't There's a huge drop
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: off from your one to year two. And this year's
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: team for the Chiefs, they've been able to to relax
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: on how much they need Travis kelce even with Rashid
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Rice going out with the season and injury injury training
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: for Hopkins, even at an older age, makes sense. The
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Chiefs look like the type of team that can really
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: make some noise. Of course they're gonna make some noise,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: but they look like the type of team that can
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: make some noise when we continue to talk about them
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: in the precipice of history of the rest of the NFL.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So we're excited, but we'll see that game. That game
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: kicks off tonight seven to fifteen pm. Chiefs versus the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Other headlines from today, of course, Dennis Allen,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the head coach of the New Orleans Saints, gets the can.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: He is kicking the can down the road. He is
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: fired by the Saints in what was a move that
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I think many people saw coming, which is disappointing for
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Saints fans. You went into the season thinking, with how
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: well that you played the first two games of the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: year with Kareem Hunt, or correction, with Alvin Kamara and
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Derek hen and Derek Carr, this was the type of
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: team that could make potentially a little bit of a run.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Not the case. The Saints sit of two to seven,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the same record as the Carolina Panthers. That is not
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the type of company that she won. Also, when you
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: look at the point differential for the Saints, this is bad.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: They're in the bottom third of the league in point differential.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: In fact, if this if the Panthers didn't exist, this
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: team is twenty two point differential in the negative. The
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Panthers one hundred and forty six by far the worst
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: team in the NFL. But the Panthers coming off a win. Saints, however,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: seven straight losses, So that makes sense why Dennis Allen
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: is given the boot. Now we don't have the I
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: don't think they. They haven't mentioned or haven't named the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: interim head coach just yet for the Saints. Other firings,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the Raiders fired two of their rowcs as the Raiders
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: struggle at two and seven. As well, all these teams
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: competing for the chance to potentially draft Tamas Hunter, Shadorgh
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Sanders and a lot of other very talented college players
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out who's going to get the number
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: one overall pick. As we continue down that road. Now,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: a team that has not struggled, the team that has
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: been on the winning side of things recently, is the
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, who are at seven to one looking like
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the team to beat in the NFC. Before the season,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: they weren't picked to win the NFC North. It was
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers in many books. Now the Lions
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: after losing the NFC championship last year. Back on the Horse,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Dan Campbell talked about the connection between his quarterback Jared
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Goff and Amond Saint Brown, who might be the best
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: receiver in football.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the connection between those it's special. Those two have
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: been clicking now for four years, really three and a half.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: You know, it started about halfway through that twenty one
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: season and it's just it's built from there. And you know,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: if if you're a quarterback, we got a dang good one.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: But it's easy to throw to a guy like Saint
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Brown because he gets open and he's got body control, balance,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: he can separate, he's got quickness, he's got play speed,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: strong hands, and his body demeanor tells you, man, if
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I'm a quarterback, you got a real good idea what
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: he's doing.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Monte Brown tied for second in the NFL this season
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: with touchdown receptions with six. He has been the story
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: for the Lions as the Lions continue to fight their
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: way and potentially end up back in the NFC Championship
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Game again this season. We come back Steve Sarkejian's Monday
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: morning press conference. We have clips from that talking about
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the SEC. Is he cutting down on fake injuries to
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the University of Florida this Saturday at eleven am kickoff?
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: What does he expect? What are his players expecting for
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: this big SEC matchup, a home game against the Gators.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: We'll have that and more next on The Craig Ways Show,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Andresim will filling in for Craig Way on sports Radio
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: AM thirteen hundred at the Zone.
