fun game, like I said, be a part of. Had
a long trip down there though, Uh, fifteen hours fifteen
hours there, fifteen hours back my wife, my daughter came,
came along with me, My driver, Joseph. Shoutout to Joseph, man,
you're a trooper. Uh. We drove left from left from
(01:28):
Buffalo on Friday. Left from Buffalo Friday about two o'clock,
drove this nice Sprinter Mercedes. I mean the outside look nice.
Inside was real bumpy. It was nice. We got some
rest on it was real bumpy though. Um. And we
drove seven hours to uh to Indiana, staged s night
(01:49):
in Indianapolis. Drove the rest of the seven hours to
Kansas City on Saturday. And you know, just the whole time,
I'm watching the radeem Tom twice. Uh my daughter asked,
you know, Daddy, how how long until we're there? Probably
about fifty times. Um. You know, we started, we started
(02:11):
a couple episodes of what Else? What Else? We watched
The House of Dragon. Um, I love it, and uh,
you know, it was just one of like it was
one of those those rides that you know, just with
the family. But it was crazy because I was going
to play a game, so I still had to get
my mind right. It's still was able to watch the film.
And you know, once we got there too Kansas City,
(02:35):
it was Saturday at four thirty. Our team had just landed.
Um it was kind of like perfect time and team landing.
We had got there, so I was able to go,
you know, uh, get my stuff up in the room,
went to meetings. Uh. It was like I said it was,
it was just a lot different. You know. You used
to get on the plane, get into the hotel, having
some shot, time to chill, having some time to relax,
(02:58):
and um, it was kind of like I feel like
I just had a continued to hit my body. Right.
I was just on the seven hour, seven hour drive
two days straight. So I'm sitting here trying to get
all the massages BFRs UM had probably four or five
episode so bads, you know, just like I said, trying
to get my trying to keep keep my legs right. Um.
(03:20):
The game, man, the game is crazy. Uh. He knew.
The fans, you know, they're ready and soon as you
came out for warm ups, they're out there talking mess
and use this. You love going to Kansas City and playing. Um,
you know you knew it was. You know it's gonna
be a hostile environment, just the type of you know
football team that is very very good football team and
(03:42):
come out with with a with a victory. Um, you
know it was huge, especially going into the bye week.
But um, you know Teren Johnson the hero man, she
had a lot of heroes again. Actually gotta lee Josh
Allen jumping over defenders again, which is crazy, absolutely crazy,
six seven two fifty pounds, like jumping over a grown man,
(04:05):
Like it's wild to me. Like, I'm just extremely excited
or extremely blessed that he's on our team because I
would hate I would hate to one be heard of
by quarterback. And I just don't know any other quarterback,
you know, maybe Lamar. I would really just heard you
like that. So really, I'm just glad you our team.
(04:27):
Dawson Knox Man, Hello, a game, catching the catching the
red zone. And then Taron Johnson, Man, boy started believing.
Boy started believing us something. I believe it. Man, just
being able to believe in manifest you know, catching picks.
You gotta be able to believe that that it's coming.
And boy started believing. Got the game where Man, I
was so happy for him. I was super super happy
(04:50):
for him. Um and in a moment, I mean we're
back and forth the game. You knew it was kind
of gonna be like that. A lot of people probably
expected like a to e two or forty two or
thirty eight, whatever you wanna call it. Hell no, man,
we had we had to hold it down. Um, that's
good offense. You know, you're never gonna You're never gonna
(05:11):
stop you know, Patrick Mahomes, You're never gonna stop Josh Allen.
There's just no you know, there's there's just too good
of offenses to the players, you know what I'm saying.
And they got obviously great players around them too. You're
not gonna stop teams like that, but you know, just
being able to limit them, you know, being able to
(05:31):
lend them to things that they may do well. You know,
that's whether that's explosive plays or you know, being able
to be good in the red zone and being able
to you know, take points away when you know, like
Caire taking points off the board. You know that's even
that was just as big as anything. Being able to
be good in the red zone. So um, it was.
You know, that's Those are the type of status you
(05:52):
don't necessarily necessarily see, you know, it's but you know,
when you're player, those are the type of you know,
you know, those are the things that going into the game,
they're gonna swing the game. You know. That's and that's
how it's been the last how many times we got
played Casey, the last three or four times we played
case Is. You know, that's where it came down to,
is is you know, coming down to the red zone,
(06:14):
who's gonna be better? Um? I think the year we
went there, uh for the NFC champiship game. I mean
that's kind of where I guess you could say the
rivalry started maybe whatever, a couple of years ago. I
think a lot of the Bills and Chiefs uh rivalry,
if you want to call it as a lot more
(06:34):
media hype than per se. And that's fair, that's fair
to I guess observe or what's the word I'm looking for,
Uh stay because of you know, Josh Allen and Pat
Mahomes and just you know the new like quarterback era,
who they're compared it to to the Brady and Manning rivalry.
(06:56):
And so whenever those two play, yeah, everybody's gonna watch.
And so for us, so like it's more you know,
that's the team that you know, that's the one of
the top teams in the NFL. If you know, and
that's the team. If we want to get to where
we want to go, we're gonna have to beat them.
So I think the media makes it out, you know,
the rivalry this Saturday with this side or the other.
(07:19):
But um, that's his players. You know, we understand, you know,
we we're not gonna see him again until we have
to be we have to beat them and to go
to advance to whatever wherever it is. And you know,
hopefully it's in Buffalo, New York and we got our
fans rocking with us. But either way, you know, that's
(07:39):
the team that where like I said, wherever we gotta
get where we want to get to the super Bowl, Um,
we're gonna have to beat them. And so you know,
the media makes look that's maybe we're talking about that.
Sometimes it's just the media because you know, it's it's
just to a certain extent, it's like, how is it
the media to sit out here in grade us and
(08:03):
our performance on the field. But then when they say
some ball blasphemy stuff, nobody wants to say anything and
go like hey, you only I'm not even gonna get started,
and that we don't have that conversation another time because
you're like, look some of your media members out there. Look, yeah,
act like you know what you're talking about. You know
(08:23):
what I'm saying, Like, Look, I played in this game
ten years now. I know what I'm I know what
I see. I know. You know when I hear somebody
talking ball, I know they know what they the hell
they're talking about. Some of y'all know what you're talking about.
A lot most of y'all know what you're talking about,
but some of y'all, some of y'all need to get graded. Look,
this is my show. I can say what I want
(08:44):
because y'all got your shows. You say what you want.
I'm letting y'all know how how I feel as a player,
because this is something. This is getting a little ridiculous
out here. Some of y'all just getting you know. I
guess it is all about who you know around. I'm
not name dropping either, but I need to check yourself
with football knowledge. I ain't going out there gonna be
talking about no cricket or no no no soccer with
(09:06):
you know, with no accolate, with no you know what
I mean. That's another time me I felt like they
have four tackles. You know, I didn't really feel like
I did much. It was kind of a weird game.
You know. I felt like there was opportunities for Pats
pushed the ball down the field, um, and he for
whatever reasons he didn't, he didn't take them. UM let's
(09:27):
leave as a defense. We gotta, you know, still at
things that we gotta work on. Uh, you know, gotta
be gotta be better on third down. Uh, you know,
gotta be gotta be better. Uh. You know, we gotta
figure out a ways to get the ball off of
ball carriers. I don't know if we've had any of
those yet, you know, Um, being able to come up
with the with the takeaway with you know, a punch
out or or a big hit, you know something like that.
(09:49):
You know, those those type of things change the game.
And Uh, it was always set to work on. It's
always still to get better. I always such a continue
to work on and you know, teams are continue to
watch film and continue to study you. So you gotta
continue to critique yourself and you know, do work on
things that that you did well and you didn't do
do so well. So UM, definitely a lot of things
I want to continue to do well. UM, do better um,
(10:13):
you know, like I said, it was, it was. It
was a weird game. Man. I felt, um like I
had the energy in the game, but I just felt
like it all caught. It all started to catch up
to me. Um like, and I guess I found it.
Found it somewhere you had dig deep. You know, there's
i mean, there's a couple of dribs. I'm like, oh, man,
(10:34):
come on, you know, Jesus, Jesus take the wheel type like,
come on, you gotta fight it in you. But you know,
we found it. We found it on a way to
get off the field, like said, vomited huge pass for
a huge games two sacks, Goti Man two sacks and
then a huge just up and under, get bumped and
then get pad off the spot and make pads, make
(10:56):
you throw and Karen just come in and make a
huge play. Dude. I mean, that's just that's why you
bring Bond Miller in. You know, you bring Bond Miller
in to make game changing impact plays. And that's just
what he's done all season long. And it's it makes
honestly our job with him back, and it's so much
easier because quarterback was You imagine somebody line up against forty,
(11:17):
Like I mean the ball is coming out or he's
getting hit. You know he's because because Von is he's
getting off of speed like like the way he the
way he does stuff. Man. That like now that I'm
able to like watch him on film every day, like
you see like fort bar came in, like you see
his highlights, Like, yeah, Barn's crazy, but like I mean,
it's extremely smart football player, extremely just uh just a
(11:42):
great leader dude, and and he he just lifts the
team and brings it in and brings everybody along. Like
it's it's crazy to watch, like all the detailed bill
and you watch it and you break it down and
so I mean it's it's uh I say, it was
a cool, cool victory and uh damn, I gotta bring
(12:05):
this up because when my coaches after the game came
up and said it when like when Cherry got the pick,
I was hyped Chary c Cott the pick. I was
hirping like yo, but damn over like that game it's over.
So I mean I'm I'm he caught it on their
sideline and you know I was hyped. I was jumping
up and down like hey, like we wore like basically
(12:25):
I was young to the fans like blah blah blah blah,
I apologize my coach. I think one of my coaches
told me he was eight. George. He's like, uh, it's
like after the game, when the coaches came up and
told me he was he was like he was talking
the sideline at the terra cottas big. I looked at him.
I said, coach, what I said? You crazy? I was like,
(12:49):
I know we're gonna see them again, Like like, first
of all, that's not me, coach, like my time they sideline.
Second of all, I know a lot of dudes on
that team like or never you know, started like come on, coach,
he did catch the pig. You know, you know I'm
a lot of the fans. Yeah, you get it. It's
the fans that's right there. At the game. I'm talking
(13:10):
to the fans telling them about telling them make sure
they get home, hit the traffic. You know what I'm saying, like, oh,
that type of stuff never never to the players. You know,
it was never apologized. It seemed like that. And it's
a football game. Man excited, you know, fans talking crap
of us. I feel like, you know, it's just part
of the game, you know, and so coach listening, I apologize.
(13:33):
It wasn't directed at y'all. It was just to me
at the moment, trying to let the fans know that
hit the traffic. You know what I'm saying, because just
one it was excited. I'm sure Vice Versa done the
same thing. Look, that's just hed a moment. Look I'm excited.
That was the game. Man in a rap after a game.
(13:56):
It was hyped. Um, you know, everybody was hyping. I
think everybody saw the video Josh going up getting the
kid the ball. That was awesome. My family was at
the game, I said, Yeah, they were at the game,
sat front row right behind us. Uh. My wife was
worried because obviously why I drove. I guess I haven't
gotten to that story. Yeah, the whole reason of why
(14:17):
I had to drive in the in the Baltimore game
on my pick. Dude, I came across and it was crazy.
All the more I think about it, like crazy, the
fact that I came to I caught the ball like
catching pick and du Rene comes in up and just
I mean he I don't know if he knew I
was there, but I mean, as I was coming across.
(14:39):
He comes up and this foot still in the ground.
As a picture of it. I have a picture of
it somewhere. I thought it was laying the room. But
I mean he hits me right in the in the side, dude,
and yeah, fractured two of my ribs, like right up
in here, just by I mean, barely tiny fractures. Like
but you know, I felt can you feel it? And
then U they call it nemo thorax Basically, uh, what
(15:04):
do you want to call it? A puncture lung or
a lung contusion? Um, it's my ribs pushed into my
lung and and cause it to bruise and put air
air pockets in there. So you know every time, you know,
early on when it happened, like breathing was pretty tough.
A lot of reason was pretty tough. I did my
interview after the Baltimore game. I would look back at it.
(15:27):
I did my interview out to the Baltimore game, and
I'm just answering questions like, yeah, played like a good game,
Like I'm hurting and Scott, but it felt like when
you drink when you drink water, like that feeling in
your stomach, Like yeah, it's like slushing around. That's what
it felt like. For a couple of days. It felt
(15:47):
like my this just loose and and I didn't really
and it't really know, you know, like if it just
shou gonna get better, that should hurt. So I mean
I was with it. You know, I had a great
team of doctors. You're doing both both sides. I sent
it to a second opinion doctor, a lung doctor, and
our doctors obviously, and we were just basically talking talking
(16:08):
it through the whole week. I missed the Pittsburgh game.
I couldn't do anything but sucked like I couldn't work out,
I couldn't run, which was probably the hardest part because
it's like I'm in the middle of the season, like
I still feel like I gotta do something. But like
the doctor, you know, long doctor's hb A, you just
you just need to rest and relax and make sure
you get your getting make sure heels right. So the
(16:32):
week goes around, it's still kind of sore. I'm continuing
to get like scans, uh CT scans and making you know,
like I said, both doctors seeing it. It's getting better.
So UM's continue to get better. After the Pittsburgh game,
it was they had mentioned to me, um that I'll
probably have to I wouldn't be able to fly uh
to the game. I was like, like, what I'm gonna
(16:57):
be to fly to the game playing Kansas City? Like
like yeah, during like if you're gonna be if you're
gonna play, not even be able to fly, so like
so I'm gonna have to try. And it was kind
of like well, I was kind of like yeah, So
I was like, ain't no way, It's like yeah, I
was like so yeah, I asked the question. So like
I'm good too drive to the game and playing the game,
(17:20):
but I can't fly to the game and playing the game. Yeah,
the air pressure. So like for a couple of days
I go I was, I was baffled, kind of blew
my mob. Bro. I was like, ain't a way, Like
I'm in this situation right now, like just what I
had already dealt with my elbow, I had to put
spring already, and I'm like I'm playing well, so I
(17:40):
obviously want to continue to like keep playing something like damn, bro, Like, well,
I gotta be in this situation right now. A couple
of days go by, it was like that was Sunday
afternoon would beat Pittsburgh. So I had a couple of
days kind of sit on it, and it was getting better.
I could feel like getting better and I didn't want
to miss another game, especially this game coming up. So
I'm just hoping, you know, it's being being positive about it,
(18:03):
trying to be positive about it and just thinking like
you know, okay, we'll get a chance to play. You know,
we're figured out then. So I still wasn't clear to
play yet, so we get uh, I think under the
skin on Tuesday, Um, doc says, hey, it looks it
looks really good. Um, you know, I think there's I
don't he say, I don't believe there's a risk of
you playing. It's like for the air pressure I do.
(18:23):
I was still wouldn't advise you to fly. So I
mean at that point, I was like, I'm I'm all
for it. Like I was like, whatever we gotta do.
I'm already had the crack ribs. So we made a
little concoction for my ribs um to protect him a
little bit. I had already wore a little rip protector,
but made a little thing to kind of make me
feel a little safer. Um, but I still was able
to recover. So you know, it was two weeks uh,
(18:45):
up and up from the event when it happened that
I that I played in the game. You know, I didn't.
I didn't make uh you know, I was able to practice.
I got cleared the practice on that Wednesday, UM, and
I was able to know come back, and I like,
you know, I didn't shoot. It was it was one
of those games, like those games come around once in
a while, dude, like you just kind of feel like
(19:05):
you're out there, you know, Like I said that four
tackles just feel like no action and it's just kind
of out there. But um, you know, like I said,
it's some some games we like that sometimes because you know, whatever,
for whatever reasons. But you know, a lot more games
we played, um, you know, a lot more action be made.
So you know, that's that's the story after the game.
(19:27):
And like I said, yeah, I mean that's the that's
the reason why I had to uh had to drive
up there, you know. And and you know, I finally
got the finally got the okay to to really play.
Because I think I got the okay to practice, I
haven't got the okay to play yet or make contact
with anything. Yeah, so I was still a rid jersey
all the way until Friday. And the Friday I finally
got the okay um to to get out of a
(19:51):
red non contact jersey and and actually you know, UM
actually play so um and throughout the week I speak,
you know, my wife, I was talking and we were like,
look like, let's just just make a trip. You might
not ever get this opportunity again to uh, um to
have to do this, like what like drive to Kansas
(20:12):
City and go play an NFL game again. I'm saying
the Arrowhead Stadium, like you know, I mean, the bill
is obviously paid for the sprinter van and the driver,
and UM, you know, reimburse me on the hotels and whatnot,
which you know, I'm obviously thankful for. So you know,
I just had ride. I just had to get comfortable
and figure out a way to sitting there in these
(20:34):
bumps for fifteen hours. Man, it was it was long.
It was a long trip, but we made it back.
UH today's Tuesday, uh October eighteenth. We got back into
the last night and Monday October seventeen, that eleven thirty,
so the game was Sunday four, four thirty Eastern. We
(20:55):
got back a full I mean because we had to
stop back in Andy, and I mean sleep because at
that time we're tired. After the game. We left got
to Indie at about six thirty in the morning and
stayed a stayed at the hotel. By that time, we
were all just beat. My My daughter is such a trooper, dude.
She's she's just so funny. She's sleeping in the car,
(21:19):
wakes up like just daddy ready to go, Like it's
six thirty in the morning, Like, all right, come on,
pick her up. She's like, yeah, they were at the hotel. Um,
we're at the same We're at the same hotel. We
were just at It was just so it was just
like I said, man, a lot of stories I can
probably sit here and talked about just being a dad.
Just how much dad's stuff went on during it. You know,
(21:43):
during a way trip, you know you're going to on
the way trip, that's like at the time for ut to,
you know, kind of wind away from your family, like
you know, folks on the game. But and even after
the game, you know, the you're on the way trip,
you don't have to worry about, you know, coming right
back home without a family at the house. You kind
of get the wind away from the fan from the game. No,
it was straight thirty hours with the wife and the
(22:06):
five year old, and we we rocked it. We rocked it,
came back with the W. Um, what I do it again?
Hell no, I would not do that ship ever again.
That Hell no. It's something to talk about though, something
I can talk about, something my fan could. We could
talk about. Like I said, it came back with the
W which felt a lot better. Um, I guess what's next?
(22:29):
We we we Gottah and Rodgers come to town. Let's

the week. He advised me to to wait a couple
more days before I before I flew. Um. Uh, dr
body shout out to you man, You're awesome. Appreciate all
your health during all this. But you know I'm gonna
stay out here in Buffalo. It's raining, it's cold, but
I gotta get right. I wanted to go to court Vallace.

I want to go to court Allas to uh check
out my school. I haven't been back to my school,
and it's been in late ten years. I've been back
to my school one time. Um, first, let me stop.
It's not because I don't want to go back, um
because I want to go back. I've been on the
East Coast my entire career, and getting to court Vallis,
Oregon is a hike in the middle of the season
(23:35):
on the bye week. That's tough. Um, But I want
to get back. And I thought about going back this weekend.
They play Colora Colorado at home. It'd be fun, but
that's tough, you know. Um long ways, Um, I want
to golf to. The weather sucks Buffalo. I mean, I
(23:57):
hear in this frozen tundra it's just coming. The weather
is coming, and it's just like it makes me just
kind of more just this is much more sad every day,
just knowing that the weather is coming. Because I don't
like being cold, like I you know, Buffalo, I love you,
but I don't like being cold. So that's why if
you don't know, if you're ever watching the game, if
(24:18):
you're at the game and it's snowing it out or
it's a cold, I'm not sitting down. I am right
next to the heater the entire game. I don't care.
Call me what you want to call me. I don't
care because it's my life and I like to stay
warmed buck that. I don't know if I can curse
on here, but fuck that. Yeah. Anyways, I love Buffalo.
(24:41):
I love the city so passionate about ball. Um. You know,
I just love being out here playing for playing in
front of these fans. Um. Like I said, we gotta

It was a wilder. There was a lot of you

(00:45):
was it was a great w um came out on top. Uh.
It was one of those one of those victories where
you probably look back and you know it was. It
was cool to be a part of. Uh. We know
we're gonna see him again. You know we're gonna we
know we're gonna play him again somewhere down the road. Um,
(01:06):
you know we got Uh it was it was a
fun game, like I said, be a part of. Had
a long trip down there though, Uh, fifteen hours fifteen
hours there, fifteen hours back my wife, my daughter came,
came along with me, My driver, Joseph. Shoutout to Joseph, man,
you're a trooper. Uh. We drove left from left from
(01:28):
Buffalo on Friday. Left from Buffalo Friday about two o'clock,
drove this nice Sprinter Mercedes. I mean the outside look nice.
Inside was real bumpy. It was nice. We got some
rest on it was real bumpy though. Um. And we
drove seven hours to uh to Indiana, staged s night
(01:49):
in Indianapolis. Drove the rest of the seven hours to
Kansas City on Saturday. And you know, just the whole time,
I'm watching the radeem Tom twice. Uh my daughter asked,
you know, Daddy, how how long until we're there? Probably
about fifty times. Um. You know, we started, we started
(02:11):
a couple episodes of what Else? What Else? We watched
The House of Dragon. Um, I love it, and uh,
you know, it was just one of like it was
one of those those rides that you know, just with
the family. But it was crazy because I was going
to play a game, so I still had to get
my mind right. It's still was able to watch the film.
And you know, once we got there too Kansas City,
(02:35):
it was Saturday at four thirty. Our team had just landed.
Um it was kind of like perfect time and team landing.
We had got there, so I was able to go,
you know, uh, get my stuff up in the room,
went to meetings. Uh. It was like I said it was,
it was just a lot different. You know. You used
to get on the plane, get into the hotel, having
some shot, time to chill, having some time to relax,
(02:58):
and um, it was kind of like I feel like
I just had a continued to hit my body. Right.
I was just on the seven hour, seven hour drive
two days straight. So I'm sitting here trying to get
all the massages BFRs UM had probably four or five
episode so bads, you know, just like I said, trying
to get my trying to keep keep my legs right. Um.
(03:20):
The game, man, the game is crazy. Uh. He knew.
The fans, you know, they're ready and soon as you
came out for warm ups, they're out there talking mess
and use this. You love going to Kansas City and playing. Um,
you know you knew it was. You know it's gonna
be a hostile environment, just the type of you know
football team that is very very good football team and
(03:42):
come out with with a with a victory. Um, you
know it was huge, especially going into the bye week.
But um, you know Teren Johnson the hero man, she
had a lot of heroes again. Actually gotta lee Josh
Allen jumping over defenders again, which is crazy, absolutely crazy,
six seven two fifty pounds, like jumping over a grown man,
(04:05):
Like it's wild to me. Like, I'm just extremely excited
or extremely blessed that he's on our team because I
would hate I would hate to one be heard of
by quarterback. And I just don't know any other quarterback,
you know, maybe Lamar. I would really just heard you
like that. So really, I'm just glad you our team.
(04:27):
Dawson Knox Man, Hello, a game, catching the catching the
red zone. And then Taron Johnson, Man, boy started believing.
Boy started believing us something. I believe it. Man, just
being able to believe in manifest you know, catching picks.
You gotta be able to believe that that it's coming.
And boy started believing. Got the game where Man, I
was so happy for him. I was super super happy
(04:50):
for him. Um and in a moment, I mean we're
back and forth the game. You knew it was kind
of gonna be like that. A lot of people probably
expected like a to e two or forty two or
thirty eight, whatever you wanna call it. Hell no, man,
we had we had to hold it down. Um, that's
good offense. You know, you're never gonna You're never gonna
(05:11):
stop you know, Patrick Mahomes, You're never gonna stop Josh Allen.
There's just no you know, there's there's just too good
of offenses to the players, you know what I'm saying.
And they got obviously great players around them too. You're
not gonna stop teams like that, but you know, just
being able to limit them, you know, being able to
(05:31):
lend them to things that they may do well. You know,
that's whether that's explosive plays or you know, being able
to be good in the red zone and being able
to you know, take points away when you know, like
Caire taking points off the board. You know that's even
that was just as big as anything. Being able to
be good in the red zone. So um, it was.
You know, that's Those are the type of status you
(05:52):
don't necessarily necessarily see, you know, it's but you know,
when you're player, those are the type of you know,
you know, those are the things that going into the game,
they're gonna swing the game. You know. That's and that's
how it's been the last how many times we got
played Casey, the last three or four times we played
case Is. You know, that's where it came down to,
is is you know, coming down to the red zone,
(06:14):
who's gonna be better? Um? I think the year we
went there, uh for the NFC champiship game. I mean
that's kind of where I guess you could say the
rivalry started maybe whatever, a couple of years ago. I
think a lot of the Bills and Chiefs uh rivalry,
if you want to call it as a lot more
(06:34):
media hype than per se. And that's fair, that's fair
to I guess observe or what's the word I'm looking for,
Uh stay because of you know, Josh Allen and Pat
Mahomes and just you know the new like quarterback era,
who they're compared it to to the Brady and Manning rivalry.
(06:56):
And so whenever those two play, yeah, everybody's gonna watch.
And so for us, so like it's more you know,
that's the team that you know, that's the one of
the top teams in the NFL. If you know, and
that's the team. If we want to get to where
we want to go, we're gonna have to beat them.
So I think the media makes it out, you know,
the rivalry this Saturday with this side or the other.
(07:19):
But um, that's his players. You know, we understand, you know,
we we're not gonna see him again until we have
to be we have to beat them and to go
to advance to whatever wherever it is. And you know,
hopefully it's in Buffalo, New York and we got our
fans rocking with us. But either way, you know, that's
(07:39):
the team that where like I said, wherever we gotta
get where we want to get to the super Bowl, Um,
we're gonna have to beat them. And so you know,
the media makes look that's maybe we're talking about that.
Sometimes it's just the media because you know, it's it's
just to a certain extent, it's like, how is it
the media to sit out here in grade us and
(08:03):
our performance on the field. But then when they say
some ball blasphemy stuff, nobody wants to say anything and
go like hey, you only I'm not even gonna get started,
and that we don't have that conversation another time because
you're like, look some of your media members out there. Look, yeah,
act like you know what you're talking about. You know
(08:23):
what I'm saying, Like, Look, I played in this game
ten years now. I know what I'm I know what
I see. I know. You know when I hear somebody
talking ball, I know they know what they the hell
they're talking about. Some of y'all know what you're talking about.
A lot most of y'all know what you're talking about,
but some of y'all, some of y'all need to get graded. Look,
this is my show. I can say what I want
(08:44):
because y'all got your shows. You say what you want.
I'm letting y'all know how how I feel as a player,
because this is something. This is getting a little ridiculous
out here. Some of y'all just getting you know. I
guess it is all about who you know around. I'm
not name dropping either, but I need to check yourself
with football knowledge. I ain't going out there gonna be
talking about no cricket or no no no soccer with
(09:06):
you know, with no accolate, with no you know what
I mean. That's another time me I felt like they
have four tackles. You know, I didn't really feel like
I did much. It was kind of a weird game.
You know. I felt like there was opportunities for Pats
pushed the ball down the field, um, and he for
whatever reasons he didn't, he didn't take them. UM let's
(09:27):
leave as a defense. We gotta, you know, still at
things that we gotta work on. Uh, you know, gotta
be gotta be better on third down. Uh, you know,
gotta be gotta be better. Uh. You know, we gotta
figure out a ways to get the ball off of
ball carriers. I don't know if we've had any of
those yet, you know, Um, being able to come up
with the with the takeaway with you know, a punch
out or or a big hit, you know something like that.
(09:49):
You know, those those type of things change the game.
And Uh, it was always set to work on. It's
always still to get better. I always such a continue
to work on and you know, teams are continue to
watch film and continue to study you. So you gotta
continue to critique yourself and you know, do work on
things that that you did well and you didn't do
do so well. So UM, definitely a lot of things
I want to continue to do well. UM, do better um,
(10:13):
you know, like I said, it was, it was. It
was a weird game. Man. I felt, um like I
had the energy in the game, but I just felt
like it all caught. It all started to catch up
to me. Um like, and I guess I found it.
Found it somewhere you had dig deep. You know, there's
i mean, there's a couple of dribs. I'm like, oh, man,
(10:34):
come on, you know, Jesus, Jesus take the wheel type like,
come on, you gotta fight it in you. But you know,
we found it. We found it on a way to
get off the field, like said, vomited huge pass for
a huge games two sacks, Goti Man two sacks and
then a huge just up and under, get bumped and
then get pad off the spot and make pads, make
(10:56):
you throw and Karen just come in and make a
huge play. Dude. I mean, that's just that's why you
bring Bond Miller in. You know, you bring Bond Miller
in to make game changing impact plays. And that's just
what he's done all season long. And it's it makes
honestly our job with him back, and it's so much
easier because quarterback was You imagine somebody line up against forty,
(11:17):
Like I mean the ball is coming out or he's
getting hit. You know he's because because Von is he's
getting off of speed like like the way he the
way he does stuff. Man. That like now that I'm
able to like watch him on film every day, like
you see like fort bar came in, like you see
his highlights, Like, yeah, Barn's crazy, but like I mean,
it's extremely smart football player, extremely just uh just a
(11:42):
great leader dude, and and he he just lifts the
team and brings it in and brings everybody along. Like
it's it's crazy to watch, like all the detailed bill
and you watch it and you break it down and
so I mean it's it's uh I say, it was
a cool, cool victory and uh damn, I gotta bring
(12:05):
this up because when my coaches after the game came
up and said it when like when Cherry got the pick,
I was hyped Chary c Cott the pick. I was
hirping like yo, but damn over like that game it's over.
So I mean I'm I'm he caught it on their
sideline and you know I was hyped. I was jumping
up and down like hey, like we wore like basically
(12:25):
I was young to the fans like blah blah blah blah,
I apologize my coach. I think one of my coaches
told me he was eight. George. He's like, uh, it's
like after the game, when the coaches came up and
told me he was he was like he was talking
the sideline at the terra cottas big. I looked at him.
I said, coach, what I said? You crazy? I was like,
(12:49):
I know we're gonna see them again, Like like, first
of all, that's not me, coach, like my time they sideline.
Second of all, I know a lot of dudes on
that team like or never you know, started like come on, coach,
he did catch the pig. You know, you know I'm
a lot of the fans. Yeah, you get it. It's
the fans that's right there. At the game. I'm talking
(13:10):
to the fans telling them about telling them make sure
they get home, hit the traffic. You know what I'm saying, like, oh,
that type of stuff never never to the players. You know,
it was never apologized. It seemed like that. And it's
a football game. Man excited, you know, fans talking crap
of us. I feel like, you know, it's just part
of the game, you know, and so coach listening, I apologize.
(13:33):
It wasn't directed at y'all. It was just to me
at the moment, trying to let the fans know that
hit the traffic. You know what I'm saying, because just
one it was excited. I'm sure Vice Versa done the
same thing. Look, that's just hed a moment. Look I'm excited.
That was the game. Man in a rap after a game.
(13:56):
It was hyped. Um, you know, everybody was hyping. I
think everybody saw the video Josh going up getting the
kid the ball. That was awesome. My family was at
the game, I said, Yeah, they were at the game,
sat front row right behind us. Uh. My wife was
worried because obviously why I drove. I guess I haven't
gotten to that story. Yeah, the whole reason of why
(14:17):
I had to drive in the in the Baltimore game
on my pick. Dude, I came across and it was crazy.
All the more I think about it, like crazy, the
fact that I came to I caught the ball like
catching pick and du Rene comes in up and just
I mean he I don't know if he knew I
was there, but I mean, as I was coming across.
(14:39):
He comes up and this foot still in the ground.
As a picture of it. I have a picture of
it somewhere. I thought it was laying the room. But
I mean he hits me right in the in the side, dude,
and yeah, fractured two of my ribs, like right up
in here, just by I mean, barely tiny fractures. Like
but you know, I felt can you feel it? And
then U they call it nemo thorax Basically, uh, what
(15:04):
do you want to call it? A puncture lung or
a lung contusion? Um, it's my ribs pushed into my
lung and and cause it to bruise and put air
air pockets in there. So you know every time, you know,
early on when it happened, like breathing was pretty tough.
A lot of reason was pretty tough. I did my
interview after the Baltimore game. I would look back at it.
(15:27):
I did my interview out to the Baltimore game, and
I'm just answering questions like, yeah, played like a good game,
Like I'm hurting and Scott, but it felt like when
you drink when you drink water, like that feeling in
your stomach, Like yeah, it's like slushing around. That's what
it felt like. For a couple of days. It felt
(15:47):
like my this just loose and and I didn't really
and it't really know, you know, like if it just
shou gonna get better, that should hurt. So I mean
I was with it. You know, I had a great
team of doctors. You're doing both both sides. I sent
it to a second opinion doctor, a lung doctor, and
our doctors obviously, and we were just basically talking talking
(16:08):
it through the whole week. I missed the Pittsburgh game.
I couldn't do anything but sucked like I couldn't work out,
I couldn't run, which was probably the hardest part because
it's like I'm in the middle of the season, like
I still feel like I gotta do something. But like
the doctor, you know, long doctor's hb A, you just
you just need to rest and relax and make sure
you get your getting make sure heels right. So the
(16:32):
week goes around, it's still kind of sore. I'm continuing
to get like scans, uh CT scans and making you know,
like I said, both doctors seeing it. It's getting better.
So UM's continue to get better. After the Pittsburgh game,
it was they had mentioned to me, um that I'll
probably have to I wouldn't be able to fly uh
to the game. I was like, like, what I'm gonna
(16:57):
be to fly to the game playing Kansas City? Like
like yeah, during like if you're gonna be if you're
gonna play, not even be able to fly, so like
so I'm gonna have to try. And it was kind
of like well, I was kind of like yeah, So
I was like, ain't no way, It's like yeah, I
was like so yeah, I asked the question. So like
I'm good too drive to the game and playing the game,
(17:20):
but I can't fly to the game and playing the game. Yeah,
the air pressure. So like for a couple of days
I go I was, I was baffled, kind of blew
my mob. Bro. I was like, ain't a way, Like
I'm in this situation right now, like just what I
had already dealt with my elbow, I had to put
spring already, and I'm like I'm playing well, so I
(17:40):
obviously want to continue to like keep playing something like damn, bro, Like, well,
I gotta be in this situation right now. A couple
of days go by, it was like that was Sunday
afternoon would beat Pittsburgh. So I had a couple of
days kind of sit on it, and it was getting better.
I could feel like getting better and I didn't want
to miss another game, especially this game coming up. So
I'm just hoping, you know, it's being being positive about it,
(18:03):
trying to be positive about it and just thinking like
you know, okay, we'll get a chance to play. You know,
we're figured out then. So I still wasn't clear to
play yet, so we get uh, I think under the
skin on Tuesday, Um, doc says, hey, it looks it
looks really good. Um, you know, I think there's I
don't he say, I don't believe there's a risk of
you playing. It's like for the air pressure I do.
(18:23):
I was still wouldn't advise you to fly. So I
mean at that point, I was like, I'm I'm all
for it. Like I was like, whatever we gotta do.
I'm already had the crack ribs. So we made a
little concoction for my ribs um to protect him a
little bit. I had already wore a little rip protector,
but made a little thing to kind of make me
feel a little safer. Um, but I still was able
to recover. So you know, it was two weeks uh,
(18:45):
up and up from the event when it happened that
I that I played in the game. You know, I didn't.
I didn't make uh you know, I was able to practice.
I got cleared the practice on that Wednesday, UM, and
I was able to know come back, and I like,
you know, I didn't shoot. It was it was one
of those games, like those games come around once in
a while, dude, like you just kind of feel like
(19:05):
you're out there, you know, Like I said that four
tackles just feel like no action and it's just kind
of out there. But um, you know, like I said,
it's some some games we like that sometimes because you know, whatever,
for whatever reasons. But you know, a lot more games
we played, um, you know, a lot more action be made.
So you know, that's that's the story after the game.
(19:27):
And like I said, yeah, I mean that's the that's
the reason why I had to uh had to drive
up there, you know. And and you know, I finally
got the finally got the okay to to really play.
Because I think I got the okay to practice, I
haven't got the okay to play yet or make contact
with anything. Yeah, so I was still a rid jersey
all the way until Friday. And the Friday I finally
got the okay um to to get out of a
(19:51):
red non contact jersey and and actually you know, UM
actually play so um and throughout the week I speak,
you know, my wife, I was talking and we were like,
look like, let's just just make a trip. You might
not ever get this opportunity again to uh, um to
have to do this, like what like drive to Kansas
(20:12):
City and go play an NFL game again. I'm saying
the Arrowhead Stadium, like you know, I mean, the bill
is obviously paid for the sprinter van and the driver,
and UM, you know, reimburse me on the hotels and whatnot,
which you know, I'm obviously thankful for. So you know,
I just had ride. I just had to get comfortable
and figure out a way to sitting there in these
(20:34):
bumps for fifteen hours. Man, it was it was long.
It was a long trip, but we made it back.
UH today's Tuesday, uh October eighteenth. We got back into
the last night and Monday October seventeen, that eleven thirty,
so the game was Sunday four, four thirty Eastern. We
(20:55):
got back a full I mean because we had to
stop back in Andy, and I mean sleep because at
that time we're tired. After the game. We left got
to Indie at about six thirty in the morning and
stayed a stayed at the hotel. By that time, we
were all just beat. My My daughter is such a trooper, dude.
She's she's just so funny. She's sleeping in the car,
(21:19):
wakes up like just daddy ready to go, Like it's
six thirty in the morning, Like, all right, come on,
pick her up. She's like, yeah, they were at the hotel. Um,
we're at the same We're at the same hotel. We
were just at It was just so it was just
like I said, man, a lot of stories I can
probably sit here and talked about just being a dad.
Just how much dad's stuff went on during it. You know,
(21:43):
during a way trip, you know you're going to on
the way trip, that's like at the time for ut to,
you know, kind of wind away from your family, like
you know, folks on the game. But and even after
the game, you know, the you're on the way trip,
you don't have to worry about, you know, coming right
back home without a family at the house. You kind
of get the wind away from the fan from the game. No,
it was straight thirty hours with the wife and the
(22:06):
five year old, and we we rocked it. We rocked it,
came back with the W. Um, what I do it again?
Hell no, I would not do that ship ever again.
That Hell no. It's something to talk about though, something
I can talk about, something my fan could. We could
talk about. Like I said, it came back with the
W which felt a lot better. Um, I guess what's next?
(22:29):
We we we Gottah and Rodgers come to town. Let's
let's pause. Let's pause this pause. This is the bye week.
It's the bye week. I'm gonna enjoy this bye week. Um,
I'm gonna get healthy. Uh you know, elbows a lot
better for it's a lot better. Um, you know, because
this is the this is we need to do. It's
gonna get healthy. I wanted to go back to Florida.
(22:52):
The dog actually cleared me to fly later on in
the week. He advised me to to wait a couple
more days before I before I flew. Um. Uh, dr
body shout out to you man, You're awesome. Appreciate all
your health during all this. But you know I'm gonna
stay out here in Buffalo. It's raining, it's cold, but
I gotta get right. I wanted to go to court Vallace.
(23:13):
I want to go to court Allas to uh check
out my school. I haven't been back to my school,
and it's been in late ten years. I've been back
to my school one time. Um, first, let me stop.
It's not because I don't want to go back, um
because I want to go back. I've been on the
East Coast my entire career, and getting to court Vallis,
Oregon is a hike in the middle of the season
(23:35):
on the bye week. That's tough. Um, But I want
to get back. And I thought about going back this weekend.
They play Colora Colorado at home. It'd be fun, but
that's tough, you know. Um long ways, Um, I want
to golf to. The weather sucks Buffalo. I mean, I
(23:57):
hear in this frozen tundra it's just coming. The weather
is coming, and it's just like it makes me just
kind of more just this is much more sad every day,
just knowing that the weather is coming. Because I don't
like being cold, like I you know, Buffalo, I love you,
but I don't like being cold. So that's why if

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
