hosting the Baltimore Ravens rematch of that AFC Championship game with the Chiefs won 17-10 Michelle Steele joins us now live from Kansas City good kind of deja vu here for the Chiefs raising that Championship Banner kicking off the season on a Thursday but we remember last year they lost to the lions in the opener without Chris Jones so to what extent Michelle have they been addressing what happened last year ahead of tonight yeah no Chris Jones and no Travis Kelce in that game either last year week one Hannah happy football everybody and no better place to open the season than here at Arrowhead the home of the back-to-back defending Champion Kansas City Chiefs and you are absolutely right they do they do not want a Redux of what happened last year week one I can tell you that Patrick Mahomes isn't necessarily dwelling on that 21 to20 loss but he certainly is motivated by it and what he calls a desire to not want to be pushed around in this game and I got to tell you from talking to people in the facility on the team the one word that people keep using over and over in regards to this game is the word physical match the Ravens physicality don't get overpowered by a team that might be motivated themselves Hannah but what happened eight months ago in the AFC title game the Chiefs know they're the team that everybody wants to be expect a very motivated number 15 tonight you mean that AFC title game which the Ravens didn't run the football that one yeah uh Lamar Jackson is now trimmed down uh the Ravens obviously have Super Bowl aspirations they have darck Henry in the fold what are Lamar's teammates saying about his approach to the season yeah you know Hannah as reporters you always hear about people being in the no right I would say that Lamar Jackson is very much in the now I spoke to one of his teammates tiend Isaiah likely part of what some believe is the most dangerous tight end tandem in the league alongside Mark Andrews now he tells me not only has Lamar looked and this is his word Supernatural at practice not just running the football but throwing the football he says that Lamar is telling his guys literally I'm not getting any younger the time to win is now Lamar understands he doesn't want to have that feeling again after the AFC Championship to be so close and yet be denied now there is going to be a banner going up today pregame a championship Banner of course for the Kansas City Chiefs but the opposing quarterback believes that his time to win a championship this season starts tonight on this field good chance at redemption in that AFC title game Lamar Jackson had two turn turnovers to fall to two and four in the playoffs Michelle Steele from Kansas City thanks Michelle Jay Hannah Storm is now time to play a game of Ryan's I in with NFL analyst Ryan Clark my brother there are three things you're looking at in this rematch of the AFC Championship game so my friend what are you eyeing well I think the first thing is can the Kansas City Chiefs get Travis Kelce going again the way that they did against the Baltimore Ravens early on in that game in the AFC Championship catches in the first half he was virtually Unstoppable by the Baltimore Ravens and if you're the Baltimore Ravens what can you do to combat that knowing that now there's Xavier worthy also Isaiah Pacho out of the back field coupled with a guy like rased rice is there going to be away for the Baltimore Ravens with a new defensive coordinator to stop Travis Kelce from Patrick Mahomes and how can that Ravens Run game affect what they do offensively but also keeping Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce off of the field when you go back to the AFC championship last year everyone knows that Todd monin should have run the football more they had two early runs in the second half and then they totally got away from it because they got scared that it wasn't going to work you now have Derk Henry the Zone RPO game should be huge for the Baltimore Ravens will they be able to stick with it with Lamar Jackson seeming superum at practice and lastly what are you going to do with situational football the Kansas City Chiefs are the best team in the world because late in halves late in games late in Downs in the Red Zone they're the best that there is in this entire NFL in these huge games last year the Detroit Lions were able to get ahead able to win in this very same game because they were better in situational football than the Kansas City chief War can the Baltimore Ravens and John hobaugh find a way that in the most critical and crucial moments of this game at Arrowhead they could be better than the reigning defending two-time champion and that is what Ryan is eying Ryan Clark thank you much my friend we'll see you a little bit back a little later a little bit back a little later and I'm going to learn how to talk a little later too Ryan that's really good this going to be the fourth match up between the Superbowl Champs in the reigning League MVP and a season opener in NFL history the Ravens are going to have to overcome history in order to win tonight though each of the three prior Super Bowl champs won those games most recently Von Miller in the Broncos in 2016 Hannah all right Jay coming up we are 4 days away from year two of the Aaron Rogers era does last year even count I don't know uh we'll hear from him in moments also still know hisan reic uh much more on tonight's NFL opener between Patrick Mahomes Chiefs and Lamar Jackson's Ravens RC is back why he's not convinced that this rematch Aaron Rogers getting ready for his Monday night return as his Jets will be in San Francisco to face the 49ers reporter Kimberly Martin joining us now live from Floren Park Kimberly Aaron Rogers speaking to the media this morning what did he say about his first live action since tearing his Achilles listen Jay Aaron Rogers told us he has put last season behind us behind him he's put the Achilles injury behind him and now he's just eager to get back to doing what he's always done which is expect greatness out of himself and play with a little bit of a chip on his shoulder now here's the reality though Rogers has not played a full game in 20 months and on Monday night he's about to make his return against a familiar foe the San Francisco 49ers Jay a team that he is 0 and four against in the playoffs but still Rogers maintains the goal is to win a Super Bowl with this team and today he shared with us what his biggest key to a successful season is so take a listen we got to make sure we're handling it the right way you know Mike mcarthy came in years ago and said uh what seemed to be a wild statement at the time in 2006 he said our biggest uh difficulty is going to be uh handling success and and as the years went on I realized how important those words are um you know we were a eight and8 team as first year then the second year went to the NC Championship um I think what he meant was he just can't ride the highs too high and and then uh The Whole World's crashing down after a tough game um regardless of what happens uh on Monday uh we win the headlin is going to be you know we're going to the Super Bowl uh we lose same old Jets Jay I love that Aaron Rogers knows exactly what time it is because that's exactly what would happen with this team win or lose but here's the thing the other big storyline here is about a player who isn't here Hassan reck that pass rusher that they wanted so desperately traded for he still has not reported now Robert salad their head coach said he is not officially ruled out it's still feasible that he will play Monday night but Jay while he's not officially ruled out it's very unlikely we'll see Hassan reck back in the building and on the field Monday night yeah Jets right now 4 and a half Point under dogs against San Francisco um what have Jaylen Herz and Company had to say about the importance of this game in Brazil Hannah that was perfect it was absolutely perfect thank you for that uh you know I tell you it's exciting here it really is long trip definitely worth it people here have been fantastic we're getting first class treatment here at the Corinthians Arena the Philadelphia Eagles were out here on this field about a half an hour ago going through their final walkthrough preps and practice and stretching for Friday Night Lights here in South pal and I tell you they're really excited and the guy who's the most excited is commissioner Roger Goodell and I caught up with him one- on-one moments ago listen to this Roger I'm going to go Chris Burman on you okay my mentor Roger we're in Brazil can you believe it no but it you know it's it's been so long we've been looking looking forward to doing this and uh to be here it's exciting for all of us to be able to play a Friday night game and start our season in a big big weekend for us a kickoff weekend this is really a great way to do it I'm truly blessed and and thankful to be here and to be able to lead this this team uh like I said I'm a kid from from East Houston playing a football game American football game in South America I mean it it's it's surreal but um I have a ton of gratitude for the opportunity and the moment couple of things about the long flight right Hannah yeah this team prepared for this for weeks they obviously came down yesterday Wednesday and they came down in the morning and landed in the evening so that the players would have their body clocks about the same you know Hannah covering professional athletes for a long long time professional athletes like their routine they like their habits they don't like them being broken and this is about as out of routine as you can get so they talk about hydration and stretching it'll be a night game tomorrow night they've got all day tomorrow for meetings and to get ready for the Green Bay Packers one other note Roger Goodell told me don't be surprised if they come back to Brazil next year good you're getting the scoop there I love it um can you do that Chris Burman impression for me again just one more time before we leave s Hannah what it's s pal and S pal what do you want from me what we're in Brazil what it's the NFL season what what s I love that meanwhile they're down there around you my mentor and yours Chris B exactly s pal the humor travels uh by the way s pal we love you thanks Jay we lost to them in the playoffs our goal is to make it to February not playoffs our goal is to make it to the Super Bowl you're not the champ anymore you get to come back trying to go for that three Pat like I've been saying we ain't done yet magic a game at a time play out a time prce out a time I need everything you got he's got it I just can't wait till the game start game on THS we got to be ready for [Music] it again you're ready for tonight's kickoff to the NFL's regular season with the defending champion Chiefs hosting the Ravens let's talk about it with sports betting analyst Tyler fulam good to have you here bro always good to see you all right what prop bets do you like for Lamar Jackson and for Patrick Mahomes let's start with Jackson up there his passing yardage prop 225 at ESPN bet I think we're going to see him go over that total because of the game script I'm going to develop for you here Jay I think the Ravens are going to need to throw the football a little bit their defense was incredible last year Jackson played a lot of the time in the second half with a big lead so Baltimore be running the football I don't know if that's going to be the case in this particular matchup so I think more throwing opportunities more yards against a defense that no longer has lerus Sneed as for Patrick Mahomes two plus touchdowns come on in his sleep it's Patrick Mahomes he's at home he wants to avenge last year's opening week one loss to the Lions have a good performance here I know Hollywood Brown is out but Xavier worthy Rashi rice Travis Kelce weapons are there for him to give me at least two passing touchdowns so Jay mhm if I think these two are going to have a good day at the office we're going over 46 and2 points come on absolutely it's week one we want to see some scoring in the NFL baby I think Mahomes and Jackson will help get us to at least 47 a 2720 final a 2423 final I'm no math major but that adds up to 47 and maybe some more if we go to overtime and then finally who's going to win this game Jay come on oh it's Patrick Mahomes it's the Kansas City Chiefs I know they're going for a three Pat I know they lost in week one last year Baltimore will be desperate because they were victims in the AFC Championship Game a season ago which they were almost close to winning besides that Z flowers fumble but this game's in Kansas City momes I think will be jacked up I think it's going to be a great game a close game I'll go with that 2423 final Kansas City gets the win all right you kill me with that pointer I love it man you do all right uh I've got a little news for you yeah yeah um you know who likes what you're saying sir oh Taylor Swift according to the according to the Atlantic is she just called in uh according to the Atlantic Taylor's expected to attend tonight's game to watch your boyfriend Travis Kelsey at Arrowhead Swift wrapping up the European leg of her worldwide era tour a few weeks ago which does not pick back up until mid November so we might get to see Taylor at a few of Travis's games the first few weeks of the Season yeah what are the odds on that Tyler onus 5,000 there are you convinced we'll see Taylor an a storm speaking of hey let's bring Ryan Clark back into the program to play a little game called are you convinced based off of Tyler's picks Ryan are you convinced that Lamar Jackson will have at least 225 passing yards first off let me start by this I ain't convinced of nothing because I don't do betting I'm not a fan I know that football has to be played on the field and so we don't know no I'm not convinced that Lamar Jackson will have 225 yards passing when you go out and you bring in someone like Derk Henry and you think about Todd monin and where they were in the AFC championship last year we were all screaming Hannah just said it run the ball and so for a team that didn't run the ball against the Kansas City Chiefs last year a team that understands they want to be a physical running football team also 12 personnel with two tight ends on the field and Mark Andrews and Isaiah likely we don't know which sort of offense that would be employed by Todd monin so no I'm not convinced well I'd say this RC you're right if Derrick Henry and the Ravens build a lead against Kansas City but I think momes and the Chiefs are going to strike first meaning Lamar and the Ravens have to play from behind that's why I like the over a bit there okay Ryan next one are you convinced that Patrick Mahomes will throw at least two touchdowns that one no I'm not convinced like and my my you my iPad just keeps on moving no I'm noted how can I be convinced about this you don't know what they're going to do in the Red Zone will this be a run team will Isaiah PCO be the focal point they work things differently if you're Matt naggie Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs also what will the Baltimore Ravens be on the defensive side of the football we do not know how will Coach or employ guys like Kyle Hamilton guys like roquan Smith we don't know can they stop the run without Patrick Queen but if I was a betting guy I'd say for sure Kansas City's gonna do all this we thought the same thing last year against Detroit and cadarius Tony was playing pickle ball with the football and Brian branch sixes well that that's the good news from Mahomes cadarius ain't there to set the football to the opponent he's got receivers that can actually catch the rock here man your iPad is just mimicking how crazy you are telling me Mahomes can't give me two passing TDS RC all right last one and I fear I already know the answer but I'm going to ask you anyway Ryan Tyler picked the Chiefs are you convinced sir that KC will get the victory tonight no how can we be convinced of anything it's the first week guys you want me to be convinced oh RC just go out on the limb and guess I'm not a guesser I'm NFL analyst not an NFL guesser I don't know I'm not convinced that the Chiefs are going to win were you convinced the Chiefs is going to win against Detroit last year probably Tyler but we ain't no you want right Tyler no you want to convince everybody to go put their money up on the Chiefs because Tyler is a betting expert I'm an analyst I ain't convinced to nothing I Gotta See it happen I'll give him this he's practical if anything it's week one and we haven't seen anything but I mean RC we got to have a little fun that was fun no doubt about it I'm I'm convinced you bought the warranty on that iPad it just keeps moving it just keeps crazy it's like it's like we're in some kind of alternate universe I don't know what's happening here than that time now he's like nice and Trimm down a bet he's even faster is harder to catch up with two players of this caliber do not team up very often it's been over 20 years since an offensive player of the year and a player with multiple MVPs have actually been on the same team the last Duo to do so get this that was Curt Warner and Marshall faul and of course they were part of the greatest show on Turf all right Hannah uh now for the Chiefs and my two things first what we can expect from the Chiefs offense despite winning the Super Bowl last season they finished just 15th in scoring they expect to have two rookies making their debuts on offense tonight against Baltimore left tackle Kingsley Su matua and wide out Xavier worthy and second can the Chiefs defense repeat what it did last season they finished second in points allow behind only the Ravens in limited Baltimore to just 10 points in that AFC Championship Game tying its lowest total in any game now two things that haven't changed for these teams the quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes have combined to win four of the last six MV Awards but when they faced off Hannah it's been momes and the Chiefs who've come out on top Patrick's 86 qbr against Lamar Is His Highest against any starting q that he's faced at least four times and kickoff now just let me check my watch it's little 5 hours away little 5 hours away okay I've got a Bonus here this is like thing number three I don't know uh it was an offseason filled with headlines for Dallas uh the team is going to look very different from last season when we see them open 2024 losing several starters notably Tyron Smith and Stefan Gilmore also had to replace of course defensive coordinator Dan Quinn so incomes former Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer here's what Jared Jones had to say about the upcoming season well I feel a lot better than uh some of the critiques that uh maybe I'm getting more than they are but I'm sensitive to them but uh frankly a little surprised uh I'm surprised that it isn't more apparent uh to fans that uh uh we put a uh we put an outstanding team together uh I think the team is in better shape to roll than it was last year okay so that obviously a conversation with Stephen A what did the first take crew think about that here was their last take well they going to be say they going to win enough games get to the playoffs and go home early I mean I I told Jeffy that right in front of him he knows that he knows where I stand you know I don't I don't agree with him in his assertion but I would say the same because I think they're going to be good enough to get to the playoffs as I roamed around Dallas telling folks they G be good enough to get to the playoff and then he going to go home and that's how it's going to be he ain't win no damn Super Bowl championship he threw me a back a little bit when he said fellas that he thought that they were better because I didn't see that I'm like what have you done in the off season but he said there were guys we had on the roster that were good enough to play that we didn't see last year so in other words don't lean on what you've seen thus far what can I say if I haven't seen it all I could do is say I don't believe it I got to see it to believe it we'll see what happens this is the ultimate cya out of Jerry Jones so the team is better one would have to start with Talent so to sit there and say we're better would imply that we are more talented than they were last year five separate pieces of of people or or coaches that were a part of that football team last year that aren't not on the team because they weren't good enough but they went and got paid more money somewhere else this is Jerry Jones setting it up saying no no no we I expected us to be better yeah and the expectations are going to be higher and you got to go do more and I'm giving you less they haven't brought anyone in we went all through our free agency and every single day instead of talking about all the guys that were signing across the league a lot of what was being spoken about is it's been it's been really quiet in Dallas all right let's continue the conversation with senior NFL Insider Adam schfer Adam what are people around the league saying about the off season Dallas has had Jay was a passive offseason they reacted rather than acted out everybody expected early on that they would get Dax signed to some type of extension that would provide cap relief and give this team more flexibility that didn't happen they thought that the CD lamb deal would get done ahead of some of the other receiver deals that didn't happen there were a number of things that didn't happen with this team that seemed to sit back and essentially not add in a lot of Key Parts now there's some young talent in place and they have the chance to have a really good season because they do have some good players and a good foundation but the fact of the matter is it was a passive off season for the Dallas Cowboys and they're hoping that that will be enough to help this team advance to the next level that it was unable to get to last season Adam you mentioned the talks between Dak and the team where the discussions stand right now on a long-term deal for their quarterback they haven't made a lot of progress as far as I can tell now I think what happens Jay is as you get right on the cusp of the start of the regular season they're always seems to be some sort of push for teams and players to get a deal done at the last moment to see if they could get something in place before the regular season kicks off but right now it's Tracking not to happen though any could happen in the next couple of days you have to see if anything changes but I don't think they've made a lot of progress so far to make people think that a deal could or would get done before the opener something would have to change between now and the time the Cowboys kick off the season Sunday in Cleveland against the Browns that could happen but right now it is not tracking to happen which would mean Dak would be headed into the last year of his contract there's another big contract question in Cincinnati which Jamar Chase where do things stand between him and the Bengals Jay the two sides have been engaged in I would say active talks and here's the thing if we go back one year ago to the day that the NFL regular season kicked off the Chiefs and lions kicked off their game in Kansas City and roughly 10 minutes later the Bengals and Joe burrow finalized a deal that made Joe burrow the highest paid player in NFL history these two sides are working to try to make something like that happen again they know the regular season begins on Sunday they know Jamar wants a long-term deal they know the Bengals want to get this done they're working through their differences trying to see if there's a common ground in which these two sides can get a deal done if we go by the history of what happened last year that would tell you that the Bengals and Jamar Chase would find a way to get a deal of this magnitude done they're working on it they've been working on it and we'll see if they could find a way to get that deal done folks in Cincinnati are hoping
