| 0:05.4 | Welcome to the athletic football show. |
| 0:18.0 | I'm Robert Mays. |
| 0:18.9 | Joining me tonight. |
| 0:19.8 | It's my good buddy, Nate Tyson. |
| 0:20.7 | How you doing? Doing great. Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Bucks Chiefs. I mean, honestly, it can't get any better. No matter what, it probably would have been a good lineup, but like this is pretty exciting. This is going to be awesome to watch. I cannot wait. And there's going to be a ton of stuff to talk about in the lead up to these |
| 0:37.6 | games. |
| 0:37.9 | But like you said, this final four, I think it was always going to be great. Let's start with the game that just ended here in the AFC. I think that this was the sort of game that we weren't sure how this was going to go if the Bills could slow down the Chiefs the same way did in the first time around.

| 1:33.0 | They're leverage erasers, their plan erasers, their mistake erasers. |
| 1:37.4 | And I just don't know what you can do to beat this team right now in a 60 minute football game because of all the answers |
| 1:45.5 | they can find. I'm sure there's a recipe, but I just don't know what the recipe is at this |
| 1:50.5 | very moment. Yeah, that play that you're talking about to Tyreek that went off his hands. |
| 1:56.0 | Like you said, it was Robert coverage, which dictates that the man defenders have outside leverage because |
