John: WELCOME BACK TO OZARKS
TONIGHT.
LAST WEEK BEFORE THE CHIEFS GAME
WE SPOKE WITH OUR VERY OWN JESSE
INMAN ABOUT THE GAME AND I'LL BE
HONEST LAST WEEK'S GAME AGAINST
THE TEXANS WAS A CRAZY WAS.
YES, I DON'T HAVE NAILS TO
GROW BACK AFTER THAT FIRST HALF
THERE. FIRST QUARTER REALLY, YOU
KNOW.
BUT ANOTHER GOOD ONE THIS
WEEKEND IS COMING UP.
John: YEAH, TENNESSEE TITANS
ARE COMING TO ARROWHEAD.
ANOTHER TEAM THAT THE CHIEF LOST
TO EARLIER THIS SEASON, ANOTHER
TIGHT GAME BUT AFTER THAT LAST
FAIR PROCESS THAT SHE'S GETTING
A FIRST-ROUND BYE.
THEN BALTIMORE ADEQUATELY LOST
LAST WEEK TO TITANS CAN GIVE THE
CHIEFS ANOTHER HOME PLAYOFF GA
GAME.
AND IT SEEMS LIKE AFTER THE 24
COME BACK LAST WEEK IT SEEMED
LIKE EVERYTHING HAS FALLEN IN
LINE FOR THE CHIEFS.
YEAH.
John: WHAT IS IN STORE NEXT
WEEK AGAINST THE TITANS?
I REMEMBER WATCHING THE GAME
EARLIER THIS YEAR AND I HAVE
FOUND MYSELF THIS WEEK GOING
BACK AND WATCHING A LOT OF
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THAT GAME.
A FEW WORDS CONCERNING: DERRICK
HENRY.
I THINK THAT IS PRETTY MUCH THE
THOUGHT PROCESS OF EVERY CHIEFS
FAN RIGHT NOW, HOW ARE WE GOING
TO SHUT DOWN DERRICK HENRY?
I MEAN, WE HEARD TYRANN MATHIEU
SAY THIS WEEK IN AN INTERVIEW
THAT HE THOUGHT HE BROKE HIS JAW
HITTING DERRICK HENRY AND THE
MAGIC EARLIER IN THE SEASON TO
SEE.
HE SAID IT'S LIKE HITTING ROCKS.
THAT GUY IS SIX-THREE, LIKE
ALMOST 250.
THAT IS LIKE A D AND BUILD, NOT
A RUNNING BACK.
IT WILL BE INTERESTING.
WHEN WE LOOK AT THE STEPH
CURRY DERRICK HENRY PERFORMS
BETTER WITH THE CHIEF THAN HE
HAS ALMOST ANY OTHER OPPONENT
WHICH I DON'T GO EXACTLY TO
AVERAGING WELL OVER A HUNDRED
YARDS A GAME AGAINST THE CHIEFS.
HE WILL DEFINITELY BE ONE THE
CHIEFS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO SLOW
DOWN.
AND FOR A CHIEFS FAN IT'S GOT TO
BE HARD, THE SECOND YEAR IN A
ROW THEY HAVE BEEN IN A AFC
CHAMPION SHIP CAME, SO CLOSE TO
TAKING THAT TRIP TO THE SUPER
BOWL.
YES.
YOU KNOW, HOW DO YOU NOT LOOK
FORWARD AND FOCUS ON THIS GAME
THIS WEEKEND?
YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE YOU
WHAT YOU JUST DESCRIBED IS
SOMETHING THAT I THINK A LOT OF
CHIEFS FANS WERE DURING THE LAST
TIME THE CHIEFS PLAY THE TITANS
IN THE PLAYOFFS.
OF COURSE ALEX SMITH WAS A
CHIEFS QUARTERBACK SO COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES
THERE.
BUT I THOUGHT THAT WAS TWO OR
THREE YEARS AGO.
I THINK THE CHIEF FANS THOUGHT
THAT THE CHIEFS WOULD JUST ROLL
RIGHT AT ARROWHEAD, TAKE CARE OF
THE TITANS AND MOVE ON, BUT THAT
WASN'T THE CASE.
AND I THINK THIS TIME I THINK
IT'S HARD FOR ANYONE WHO IS A
CHIEFS FAN TO LOOK FORWARD TO
THE SUPER BOWL JUST BECAUSE WE
HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS BEFORE.
I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
FOCUSED ON GETTING CHRIS JONES
BACK THIS WEEK.
THEY ARE JUST HOPING THAT HE IS
TAKING IT EASY IN PRACTICE AND
HE WILL BE THE KEY TO THIS WEEK
IF THEY ARE GOING TO PULL THAT
VICTORY OUT.
DEFINITELY, AND IF YOU ARE
ANDY REID, THE CHIEF HAD A SLOW
START AND A COUPLE MISHAPS ON
SPECIAL TEAMS THAT KIND OF LED
TO THAT.
THE TEXANS KIND OF GIVES
OPPORTUNITIES BACK TO THE CHIEFS
AND THAT THE CHIEFS BACK IN THE
GAME.
IT'S GOT TO BE IMPERATIVE FOR
KANSAS CITY.
IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING YOU DON'T
WANT TO FALL BEHIND BECAUSE
AGAIN AT THE BEGINNING THIS GA
GAME.
FOR ANDY REID, HOW DO YOU WORK
THE GAME PLAN SO SOMETHING LIKE
THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN?
I THINK YOU JUST CONTRADICTED
WHAT WAS GOING RIGHT IN THE
SECOND QUARTER AND BEYOND IN THE
LAST GAME, REALLY.
I FEEL LIKE THE CHIEFS ARE THE
TYPE OF TEAM WHO, IF THAT
DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN, WHICH I
DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN AGAIN.
I HOPE I DON'T COME BACK AND
LOOK AT THIS VIDEO AND AM EATING
MY WORDS.
BUT I FEEL LIKE THE CHIEFS ARE A
TEAM THAT IS BUILT TO PLAY FROM
BEHIND IF NEED BE.
THE TITANS, I DON'T THINK THEY
ARE.
THEIR QUARTERBACK, RYAN
TANNEHILL, HE THREW FOR UNDER A
HUNDRED YARDS, I BELIEVE, LAST
GAME.
HE HAS ONE J THAT IS TO TURN
AROUND THE BALL TO NUMBER 22.
THE CHIEFS I THINK DEFINITELY
OUR TEAM THAT IS BUILT TO PLAY
BEHIND BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO
GET THAT MINDSET.
THEY RUN BALL FOR THEM TO DO
GOOD EARLY ON.
John: I THINK SO.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE HOME CROWD,
HOW BIG IT IS TO HAVE THIS
CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AT HOME, MAYBE
YOU ATTRIBUTE THE COME BACK LAST
GAME IN PART TO THE CROWD AT
ARROWHEAD BEING RIGHT THERE.
FOR SURE.
John: THEY ARE NOTORIOUS FOR
BEING ONE OF THE BEST CROWDS IN
THE NFL.
HOW BIG IS IT TO PLAY IN FRONT
OF THE HOME CROWD AS OPPOSED TO
BEING ON THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY
WHEN YOU'RE IN A GAME LIKE THIS?
GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL.
I DON'T THINK ANY CHIEFS FAN
EXPECTING TO BE HAVING THE TEAM
PLAYER HOME AT THIS POINT IN THE
SEASON BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO
BE THE LAST GAME OF THE YEAR.
THAT LAST COMMIT ARROWHEAD, NO
MATTER WHAT, NO MATTER WHEN OR
LOSE.
MEANING THERE A RECORD HOLDING
STADIUM FOR LARGEST STADIUM IN
THE WORLD, 142.2 DECIBELS THERE.
I HAVE BEEN A COUPLE GAMES THIS
SEASON.
I KNOW IT GETS LOUD AND THERE.
A LOT OF TIMES YOU HAVE A HARD
TIME HEARING THE PERSON NEXT TO
YOU.
I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE WHAT THAT'S
LIKE BEING DOWN FIELD FOR THE
OPPONENTS.
THAT KIND OF GOES WITHOUT SAY
SAYING.
THAT HOME.
ADVANTAGE IS CRUCIAL.
AND THE LAST TIME THE CHIEF
PRESENT TITANS, IT WAS IN
NASHVILLE TENNESSEE.
SO I THINK THEY ARE GOING TO
HAVE -- THEY MIGHT HAVE TROUBLE
COMING INTO ARROWHEAD.
GRANTED, ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS
TURN AROUND AND RUN THE BALL TO
DERRICK HENRY.
HOW MUCH GAME PLANNING THE NEED
FOR THAT?
John: IT WILL ALL COME DOWN
TO THAT.
ALL RIGHT, RACE, WE ARE JUST A
COUPLE DAYS FROM KICKOFF.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT SHE'S
GOING TO BE HEADING TO THE SUPER
BOWL IN A COUPLE WEEKS?
I THINK SO.
I WILL GIVE THEM A FINAL SCORE
PREDICTION.
I WANT TO KNOW YOURS TOO, I'LL
PUT YOU ON THE SPOT.
I WILL SAY THAT WE ARE LOOKING
AT 34-21 CHIEFS PULLING THIS ONE
GOING TO ARROWHEAD GOING TO
SUPER BOWL AFTER GETTING A
VICTORY AT ARROWHEAD.
John: I THINK I WILL GIVE A
BIT LOWER SCORING AFFAIR, 24-17
CHIEFS.
CHIEFS SCORE A TOUCHDOWN LATE IN
THE GAME TO GET A WIN.
BUT HERE IS THE THING.
I WOULD LOVE FOR THE CHIEFS TO
GO TO THE SUPER BOWL SO WE COULD
CHECK ONE MORE TIME.
THAT MIGHT BE.
AGAIN, WE WILL HAVE THE PREGAME
SHOW THIS SUNDAY RIGHT HERE ON
KRBK FROM 11 TO 1:00 O'CLOCK.
ABBY WEPPLER TALKING TO SOME
SHEEPSKIN FOR THE GAME.
ATTRIBUTE METOO SURE WILL BE.
WE'VE GOT MORE AFTER THIS, SO
