Outlines
🏈 Recapping the Chiefs' Dominant AFC Championship Win
Nick and Chris discuss the Chiefs' decisive 17-10 victory over the Ravens in the AFC Championship game. They break down Patrick Mahomes' composed perfection, the stifling Chiefs defense, and how Kansas City made the MVP Lamar Jackson and Baltimore's top-ranked offense look pedestrian.
😞 How the Ravens Got Away from Their Identity
Chris analyzes how the Ravens abandoned their rushing attack and hard-nosed mentality after falling behind early. He notes their uncharacteristic penalties and Lamar Jackson's hesitation to scramble, saying Baltimore lost themselves and tried to match Mahomes' passing instead of playing their game.
👑 Mahomes' Mystique Rattled the Ravens
Nick emphasizes how Mahomes' aura impacted Baltimore even before kickoff. After KC's quick two touchdown drives, the Ravens panicked and strayed from their gameplan, trying unsuccessfully to match the Chiefs' scoring. Mahomes' poised perfection validates Kansas City's vision to elevate their defense.
😕 Evaluating Lamar Jackson's Playoff Struggles
The hosts examine Lamar's underwhelming playoff performances, noting how he has season-low points and lopsided losses every postseason. Nick says Lamar needs more balance between scrambling and pocket passing. Chris notes coaching and execution issues, but puts the blame on Jackson as he gets the credit as MVP.
😂 The Ravens Turned into Break Dancers
Nick hilariously recaps how the overconfident Ravens taunted and danced early, only to have the ball literally punched out while showboating. He contrasts Baltimore's bravado with KC's poise, saying the bullying Ravens embarrassingly ended as break dancers.

Transcripts
live from New York it's the show that is
recapping the first things first Bowl
it's first things first
today Nick was there ever a
doubt was there ever a doubt Brew what'
they do cuz this game wasn't in can City
nah this game was in Baltimore I'll you
I'll let you they went to the bank mhm
they broke into their house they found
their favorite robe oh they found their
favorite
slippers they sat in their Lazy Boy and
Brew what did they then make
themselves I I actually have an answer
for that what they make themselves what
they told the Ravens we don't want your
stinking ham sandwich make us some
sloppy jokes well you know what okay
well disagree instead if we could they
said make us the biggest and best
sandwich you ever seen oh I've got a
sandwich fitting the evening because
that's what they did brew and while the
sandwich bit is yours thank you everyone
and there's a nice large I never have a
sandwich that's a it was never beting
the moment and but wild you asked me was
there a doubt how could there be a doubt
when I gave you the exact recipe on
Friday and now I blew the score I said
1913 I was way off it was 1710 four
Lamar sacks how many times did he sack
Brew four times three Mahomes throws
we'll get to that in a moment two
backbreaking Mahomes scrambles he
actually had three one defensive pass
interference on scene I missed that
instead it was one egregious holding
call that took away a touchdown and of
course zero Patrick mes turnovers if we
can show you those three big Mahomes
throws to start the game the greatest
quarterback ever to the greatest tight
end ever for the greatest playoff
connection ever bam later in the game
third and five critical play it's
Patrick Mahomes saying Lamar this is
what you try to be but I actually am and
then to ice the game for the much
maligned mvs who Chris brussard had
kicked out of the league Patrick moms
believed
in and so that's the momes piece of it
then there is the defensive Master Class
where this defense that I told you was
underrated this defense that I told you
that was doing what the Ravens were
doing without forcing turnovers but what
if they start forcing turnovers they
made the MVP look pedestrian so the
actual MVP could keep adding to his
resume which at this point is impossible
to believe so I just have to keep
showing it to you Patrick Mahomes
postseason alltime ranks first in
everything despite that though Brew he
has had one bad postseason moment the
second half against Cincinnati since
what has since Patrick Mahomes one
postseason
mistake well he hasn't turned the ball
over that's an alltime record they
haven't lost that's pretty good and he
has done it as an underdog injured and
on the road and then last but not least
there was finally thankfully in the nick
of time some Ravens bulletin board
material courtesy if I can quote
misquote Payton Manning their idiot
kicker Justin Tucker who once upon a
time was known for being the greatest
kicker ever now he's known for this
these silly hyinks right before the game
poking momes and Kelsey which then led
to the greatest game of Kelsey's career
and a perfect Mahomes playoff game so
for the first of many if we could please
drop the damn Banner hey Justin Tucker
practice somewhere else he got 100x 52
yards go find somewhere else to practice
not where m is warming up so no from
that moment Brew there was no
doubt is that it I'm waiting for more
banners you know what more banners might
be coming I guess we'll see I I got to
say something I don't think wild I've
ever said on this show and this is hard
because I've never said it Nick you were
right never I don't know how many shows
I've been on it's been a lot hundreds
but the Chiefs are incredible
yeah we told you this I know
but I want to look I can sit here and
praise the Chiefs you you did a good job
I got to say something about the Ravens
please the chief show Championship medal
and composure and the
Ravens self- imploded not taking
anything from the Chiefs the Chiefs beat
them fair and square the Ravens self
imploded the most one of the most
impressive things this Chiefs may have
done was they shook the raven
yeah they made the Ravens forget who
they were they lost their identity after
mes moved down the field with those two
first possessions to score the Ravens
start saying oh we can't stop him even
though our defense is number one even
though it was his store we can't stop
him so we G to have to win a shootout so
we're not running the ball anymore seem
they led the league in rushes 32 car
rushes a game they rushed 16 times
yesterday and a lot of those were
scrambles Edwards had a nice 15 yard
gain in the first quarter doesn't touch
the ball the rest of the first half on a
rush all right so they forgot who they
were and I'll give the the the Chiefs
and Mahomes Mystique credit for that
because even though the Ravens defense
buckled down and start playing well they
still were like we they panicked we got
to score we got to throw the football we
can't run and then the second thing was
like I said the chief show Championship
character and I hate to say cuz I I I
didn't just pick the Ravens I like the
Ravens and you've been rolling with them
all year they look like some bullies and
what I mean by that is they bullied
everybody they bullied they bullied the
two teams that played after them the L
the the Lions and the Niners once they
realize we can't bully or we can't we
We're Not Gon to we're not beating this
team on the field in fact we're getting
bullied they said all right if we can't
get him on the field let's get them
through dirty pool right so then you see
they had 5 15 yard penalties you got the
one where on the one possession when the
Chiefs got the field goal at the end of
the first half you had two 15 yard
penalties KY vano headbutts Travis Kelce
then then uh Jones you know Clos lines
momes that was a 52 yard field goal I'm
not sure the Chiefs get that without the
30 yards you gave them in penalties and
then I got to say this cuz that what
those reminded me of was Mike Tyson
fighting Evander Holyfield realizing
he's not afraid of me he's not
intimidated I might not beat him so he
bit his ear and that's what the Ravens
resorted to I hate to say last thing I
got to say Z flowers who is a wonderful
player yeah you want to revisit that
Rice Z flowers conversation I'm ready
for I think Zay is better personally but
Zay you catch a 54 yard pass get to the
10 yard line of the Chiefs what in the
world are you taunting about you're down
10 points You' been getting beat up the
whole game you're taunting what that I
don't think I think if he doesn't taunt
and they stay at the 10 I think they
scored before the end of the third
quarter now you're going into the fourth
quarter down three it might be a
different game but Z Zade BW so they
really the Chiefs I'm not going to say
they beat themselves cuz the Chiefs
played great but the Ravens just self-
imploded self-destructed I heard that
was per that was really well done did
you here I was wrong or I'm sorry guys
no I heard Nick was right I heard Nick
was right yeah but you know
sometimes yeah yeah well you know what
never said we've got years we
got you can save it you could save it
Mahomes got out to an early lead in the
Kansas City defense this is what no one
would acknowledge all year and it was
one thing for all all of the FS1 person
personalities who were asked on our fun
Tik Tock video to pick the Ravens that's
fine they were the favorites they were
the best team they had the best resume
and we decided to do a cool thing in NFL
analysis this year which was pretend
like this was the first year the NFL
existed and God forbid we trust the best
coach the best quarterback in the team
with all the history where it was just
nope we have to act like no games had
ever been played before September of
2023 but that's fine but even under
those offices it wasn't that everyone
was picking on this network and other
networks the Ravens was the scores do
you know how many people I saw
3127
3824 30 to 20 are I I understand not
everyone has Sunday Ticket I imagine
most commentators do are you aware of
what the chief's defense is are you and
if you weren't watching them through the
regular season did you watch them play
the two of the three highest scoring
teams in football going in the AFC in
the playoffs Miami and buffalo going
into this game and what they did to him
and I tried to tell you guys we show you
the second half for now the last two
months if we can what have they done
kicked everybody's ass on that side of
the ball and Miami was an excuse because
it was cold and Buffalo the reason they
didn't score is because they were
missing linebackers and the Ravens I'm
not sure what the answer is going to be
but I'm sure someone will make make
something up instead the Chiefs who had
a vision we are going to take a few
steps backward on offense to take 30
steps forward on defense it went exactly
according to plan defensively people
acted like it was make believe and then
there's the momes side of it who is
simply for this team in particular the
perfect playoff quarterback because Brew
he can make those three plays we showed
you but he also as we showed you in the
previous Graphics six straight games out
of turnover alltime postseason record
what are the Chiefs when they don't turn
the ball over the answer is pretty much
unbeatable this season they have one
loss when they don't lose the turnover
battle and that turnover was a pick six
in week one that's kind of two turnovers
in the last 5 years if Mahomes doesn't
turn it over playoffs in regular season
they're 25 and one so Patrick even
though he know you know what I will in
the second half of this game sacrifice
some of my numbers and throw the ball
away or go down he got sacked for the
first time all postseason so it is it is
a perfect combination which is why and
we've got to drop a banner for the
defense if we could please because the
defense I really hope the banner comes
out eventually if not we can there we go
the defense makes fools of offenses and
pund and then if we can Brew drop a
banner for Patrick momes because Patrick
Mahomes is quite simply the perfect
playoff Court oh my goodness what does
that say wild I didn't even realize it
practice makes perfect cuz you know why
all gosh darn near they were practicing
for this moment for this Gauntlet to
play Miami Buffalo and Baltimore to be
have a perfect game plan against Buffalo
and then a perfect game plan against
Baltimore how do you do that if you
spend all year practicing so you can
then be perfect in the biggest moments
I'm not I don't know if I'm giv that one
a category too that's good though he can
say what he wants today you just you you
can gloat you deserve to gloat I I'm not
sure where you're at know if you're with
them or
not so what's your answer is just both I
mean that that's why I said on the call
it's a tough question because but the
defense was great if I have to pick I
will say Mahomes again I don't want to
slight the defense at all but momes a
remember I said last week if he wins
this game there's going to be a Mystique
about him where teams are just like I
mean he won this game without his All
Pro Center without gay off regard
without his um Willie gay the linebacker
in a year where they hadn't been good in
a year where the offense hadn't looked
good their first two series it was like
the old offense yep and that's what
shook the Ravens and that Mystique which
I thought would be there now is was
there before the game maybe not quite
before the game for the Ravens but once
they saw those two drives it was like
you were talking about last week Buffalo
changing stuff cuz the threat of M they
changed their whole I hope they changed
their game plan because if you went into
the game like we're going to throw 40
times essentially with Lamar and not run
the football then that was a crazy game
plan so I would go with Mahomes just
because his Persona who he is what he's
done made the Ravens forget their
identity but the defense nothing but I
think that's a really smart cuz you're
basically saying part of the Ravens
offensive struggles was the Spectre of
momes staring across the field and I
think that's probably right I think that
I think that had him shaken up to a
degree beforehand all right let's turn
our attention to Lamar 272 yards through
the air hey Brew how much of this is on
Lamar well interestingly enough Lamar
and I have had a similar experience this
year I had a great regular season in
predictions broke the upset alert record
oh did playoffs has been another story
yeah upset alert it's been tough yeah so
um look the co I I thought Andy Reid and
Steve Spagnola coached circles and I I
think John Harbaugh is a great coach got
nothing but respect for him and his
staff but they they got out coached
dramatically all right the defense
obviously picked it up I think the LA
the Chief's last eight or nine
possessions they had three yeah and a
field goal a field goal and a bunch of
punts so the defense stepped up and
let's face it if the Ravens had won this
game however they won it Lamar would
have got the most credit that's the
whole season for Lamar that Lamar his
he's going to win the MVP even though
his numbers are not MVP numbers because
they won and I'm not saying he wasn't
great and didn't deserve it but his
numbers you he got all the credit
essentially that's right and so if he
gets all the credit I have to give him
the Lion Share of the blame you
mentioned the two turnovers he he he was
bad yesterday and here's what I want to
say to Lamar in trying to be such a
pocket passer and and proved everyone
he's a pocket passer I think he's
forgotten what he does best or at least
what one of his incredible attributes is
and that is running now to me he runs
like the other quarterbacks you sure
he's more Shifty and quicker but he runs
to as a last resort or just to
slide so like that right he doesn't use
it the way he does I think we have a
video of his first run where this is
fourth down he runs for 20 now in the
old days a couple years ago I think
Lamar tries to run away from sne go
outside and just use your speed I don't
know that he could have run away from
him but I thought Lamar was kind of he's
looking back like I'm not trying to
break this and take it to the house and
that is a big part of Lamar and I
thought yesterday Nick he should have
scrambled more yeah he he he was he was
biting time looking downfield and your
defensive backs were so good nobody's
open so run and I think that he's got to
find that happy medium between yes I'm a
pocket passer but I know I can run
better than any quarterback in history
so let me use it I also think that that
play made me think he's not quite as
fast as he yeah I don't know that he
could have run away I don't think he
could now but it feels like it's a
rookie he definitely second year like
and so and just maybe just a tiny tiny
bit not as fast but it's weird spot cuz
I'm rooting for the Chiefs believe it or
not I don't wave pom poms but you know I
have my rooting interests and we're
playing theam with the MVP quarterback
and I was like make just just turn this
into a downfield passing game and I
going into the game and it's not because
he can't do it but it's because the rest
of it is so much scarier and because the
Chiefs to be fair I trust the Chiefs
corners but for Lamar those ghosts of
playoff pass now the these two Graphics
I'm going to show you are going to be
jarring every year of his career that
he's made the playoffs there's season
low in points we can show it to you came
in the playoffs triy so that's 100%
Brady had happened to him five times in
20 postseasons pton had happened four
times in 16 Josh Allen it's happened
once in five Patrick has happened once
in six the Super Bowl against Tampa for
Lamar every single year and then you
have this the Ravens never get rolled in
the regular season so that is twice in
77 games in the regular season he's
never had a lead and four out of six
times in the playoffs so that that is
and Brew I don't know where you I felt
and we both said he needed the one
awesome playoff performance and that
monkey's off his back this game was so
odd because his overall numbers are not
terrible but watching it it felt like he
made a bunch of big mistakes and they
were stuck on seven for so long it feels
like it jumped right back on his back to
a degree and it feels like the MVP award
ceremony is going to be a little well
that whole NFL honor is going to be
really weird because none of the Chiefs
are invited for any award what ever but
that's fine um I think it's also before
the Super it's a weird spot locked in
yeah well they'll be locked in you could
you know SK no doubt so go ahead CU I
think people are
wondering I think he can get a Super
Bowl but a lot of people are now
wondering that like will this guy ever
win a Super Bowl and and like I said to
me he's got to find that mix between
being who he is he's not Patrick Ms he's
never gonna be Patrick Ms all right he's
gonna have to do it differently yes he
improved as a passer but
but brw are you putting this cuz earlier
you like run more Gus Edward should run
Lamar's not calling all those plays he
might be making the he's making the
decision scramble but designed runs
aren't there so are you putting he can
obviously audible at the line of
scrimmage but even if he goes in at
halftime or or when they're off the
field and says to the the coaching staff
look let's run the ball more they
respect Lamar and I think they will
listen to him so with all that said
because he's the quter because he's the
MVP he's going to get the lon Share
Credit or blame but
I you touched on it earlier the Z
flowers forget the fumble it wasn't just
the fumble Z flowers I'm watching the
pregame and he's being interviewed
obviously it happened a few days ago
he's being interviewed and they ask him
about touchdown dances and he's like
yeah I had this one that was really good
that one and the and he's asked do you
have one playing for the AFC title game
and he says yes and that's swag Surfin
that's mocking the Chiefs and Taylor
Swift that is what you're essentially
doing there is mocking the wives and
girlfriends the chief's best players
really smart move good call but Brew it
it was not then lost on me that they are
what are they doing right there Brew
literally brw what are they doing don't
Brew what are they doing dancing they're
dancing and then what did lerus sne do
he punched the ball out so your
Baltimore Ravens turned in bro to some
break dancers the Chiefs turned the
bullies into break dancers literal break
dancers could you have ever seen it
coming I I could not have I told you I
thought they just pulled up their pants
and H The Rock away you know said on the
side sne punched the ball they were
break dancers and that is how your
season ended these fellas you never
thought they'd be wearing this shade of
purple I didn't I mean this a longer
