00:00 And how successful can the Lions be? I think it really hinges on the play of Jared Goff,
00:08 the seventh leading passer in the National Football League a season ago, more than 4,300
00:13 yards. DRS, his prop tonight, 256 and a half might be on the rise to 257 and a half. It's
00:21 a number he only went over six times last year in the 17 regular season games, Donnie,
00:26 but when he did five of those six overs, he threw for at least 310 yards. If the Lions
00:33 are going to have success, Jared Goff needs to replicate the success that he saw individually
00:38 a year ago.
00:39 Absolutely. And if you're taking a look at their offensive coordinator, Ben Giontimi,
00:43 what a wonderful performance last year when everybody was thinking, oh, you're getting
00:46 Jared Goff as a throw for the Stafford trade. Sooner or later, you're going to get your
00:49 future quarterback. Maybe they found their future quarterback already in Jared Goff.
00:53 And also, we're not taking a look at a wide receiving core that was out there with dominating
00:56 wide receiver and superstars. Jones Jr., Brown and Reynolds here are going to line up again.
01:01 And you say to yourself, like, boy, look, I like I'm on St. Brown, but if we're trying
01:05 to confuse him with like some of the likes of, you know, in the past, let's say Randy
01:09 Moss or Jerry Rice, that's not him.
01:10 But the scheme sometimes can get you wide open. You see it so many times with Kyle Shanahan
01:15 and Sean McVay scheming wide receivers into a better formation and also an objective matchup
01:20 that they can win. Now, having said that, I do think that offensive line is going to
01:23 be able to lean on Kansas City. But let's get this straight right now, Ben. There is
01:27 no way, shape or form that you're coming into this game as Detroit going. Let's just keep
01:31 my homes off the field. We'll run the football. We'll slow the clock down. Everybody tries
01:35 that against the Chiefs. It never works. You have to go toe to toe with them.
01:38 So when you're taking a look at the total, do we think that Detroit Lions are getting
01:41 inside the red zone a fourth and three and kicking a field goal tonight? That's not happening
01:45 here. We're going for touchdowns. And when you know and you take a look at the way the
01:49 Lions play football, it's ultra aggressive. It's onside kicks. It's fake punts here. It's
01:53 crazy formations. This is what they do. Everything in the kitchen sink will be thrown at the
01:57 Chiefs. So if you're thinking now that, oh, look, Kelsey is out and you know, you're taking
02:01 a look at your star defensive tackle Jones being out. Don't worry about that. They are
02:04 loaded for bear tonight. They're not going to change their stripes from last year. They
02:08 will be throwing the football being ultra aggressive tonight. This should be a great
02:11 matchup, but no way is Detroit thinking we're going to slow this game down to be Kansas
02:15 City. That's not happening.
