1

00:00:00 ,240 –> 00:00:04 ,040

Speaker 1: It’s a National Football League tradition, football on Thanksgiving Day,

2

00:00:04 ,720 –> 00:00:07 ,320

Speaker 1: but this year it’s a little different. It’s the Kansas

3

00:00:07 ,320 –> 00:00:10 ,120

Speaker 1: City Chiefs for the first time since nineteen ninety five

4

00:00:10 ,640 –> 00:00:13 ,880

Speaker 1: that will visit the Dallas Cowboys for the late window

5

00:00:13 ,960 –> 00:00:16 ,919

Speaker 1: game on Thanksgiving. But there’s a lot of layers to

6

00:00:17 ,000 –> 00:00:20 ,439

Speaker 1: this game between the Chiefs and the Cowboys. This addition

7

00:00:20 ,480 –> 00:00:23 ,759

Speaker 1: at Defending the Kingdom brought to you, as always by Ticketmaster,

8

00:00:23 ,880 –> 00:00:26 ,079

Speaker 1: your new best friend and think about it during the

9

00:00:26 ,079 –> 00:00:31 ,479

Speaker 1: holidays of a gift of stocking stuffer from Ticketmaster. Waits

10

00:00:31 ,520 –> 00:00:34 ,920

Speaker 1: for the Gold Signal podcast. This good and the seats

11

00:00:34 ,960 –> 00:00:39 ,160

Speaker 1: him not let in this game until no, they gotta

12

00:00:39 ,280 –> 00:00:42 ,279

Speaker 1: locked off field goal and over time. Hi everyone, I’m

13

00:00:42 ,280 –> 00:00:45 ,240

Speaker 1: Mitchelt’s voice of the Kansas City Chiefs. Along with senior

14

00:00:45 ,280 –> 00:00:48 ,159

Speaker 1: team reporter Matt McMullen. We’re going to talk about the

15

00:00:48 ,240 –> 00:00:52 ,400

Speaker 1: layers in this short week Thanksgiving game between the Kansas

16

00:00:52 ,400 –> 00:00:55 ,560

Speaker 1: City Chiefs and the Dallas Cowboys. But the Chiefs will

17

00:00:55 ,720 –> 00:00:59 ,440

Speaker 1: enter it as the Cowboys will in similar fashion walk

18

00:00:59 ,480 –> 00:01:02 ,600

Speaker 1: off field goals with drama at the end. But the

19

00:01:02 ,680 –> 00:01:05 ,200

Speaker 1: Chiefs get to six and five beating the Colts in overtime.

20

00:01:05 ,560 –> 00:01:07 ,840

Speaker 1: The Cowboys now two straight wins off their buy to

21

00:01:07 ,880 –> 00:01:10 ,440

Speaker 1: go five to five, one beating their hated rivals in

22

00:01:10 ,480 –> 00:01:11 ,520

Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles.

23

00:01:11 ,680 –> 00:01:15 ,040

Speaker 2: Yeah, both teams feeling good right now. Man today would

24

00:01:15 ,080 –> 00:01:17 ,959

Speaker 2: look a lot different if the Chiefs hadn’t figured it

25

00:01:17 ,959 –> 00:01:21 ,520

Speaker 2: out in the fourth quarter like they did. Exhilarating finish

26

00:01:21 ,640 –> 00:01:24 ,560

Speaker 2: for the Chiefs. That felt like the Chiefs, right. I

27

00:01:24 ,600 –> 00:01:26 ,720

Speaker 2: think you and I were talking about that after the game.

28

00:01:27 ,600 –> 00:01:29 ,679

Speaker 2: To find a way when things were not going well,

29

00:01:29 ,840 –> 00:01:34 ,160

Speaker 2: to stick together like they did and to outgain the

30

00:01:34 ,200 –> 00:01:36 ,880

Speaker 2: Colts two hundred and thirty six to eighteen in the

31

00:01:36 ,920 –> 00:01:39 ,839

Speaker 2: fourth quarter. It’s not like we were playing a bad

32

00:01:39 ,920 –> 00:01:42 ,640

Speaker 2: Colts team. That Colts team is maybe the best in

33

00:01:42 ,680 –> 00:01:44 ,880

Speaker 2: the NFL right now. At least they were coming into

34

00:01:44 ,880 –> 00:01:48 ,960

Speaker 2: the game and to dominate them like we did defensively

35

00:01:49 ,120 –> 00:01:51 ,160

Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, and for the offense to make

36

00:01:51 ,200 –> 00:01:54 ,640

Speaker 2: play after play after play when it mattered most pretty cool.

37

00:01:55 ,240 –> 00:01:58 ,280

Speaker 2: Hopefully months from now we’re talking about that game and

38

00:01:58 ,360 –> 00:02:00 ,880

Speaker 2: that quarter and saying that’s when everything turned around for

39

00:02:00 ,920 –> 00:02:01 ,640

Speaker 2: this Chiefs team.

40

00:02:01 ,720 –> 00:02:03 ,800

Speaker 1: And if there was one play that turned it around,

41

00:02:03 ,840 –> 00:02:06 ,920

Speaker 1: it would be Drew Tranquill’s first down stop for a

42

00:02:06 ,960 –> 00:02:10 ,160

Speaker 1: loss after Kareem Hunt fumbled the football at the six.

43

00:02:10 ,200 –> 00:02:12 ,720

Speaker 1: But Kareem Hunt was incredible in that game. But here

44

00:02:12 ,720 –> 00:02:15 ,519

Speaker 1: we are now, it’s the Cowboys and the Chiefs on Thanksgiving.

45

00:02:15 ,639 –> 00:02:20 ,000

Speaker 1: The Chiefs have a incredibly quick and difficult turnaround. I

46

00:02:20 ,040 –> 00:02:21 ,880

Speaker 1: think that it’s one of the most difficult things in

47

00:02:21 ,919 –> 00:02:25 ,640

Speaker 1: all professional sports. Maybe this is the version of the

48

00:02:25 ,760 –> 00:02:29 ,120

Speaker 1: NBA back to back. Yeah, and I know major League

49

00:02:29 ,120 –> 00:02:32 ,320

Speaker 1: Baseball playing maybe ten games in a row or seventeen

50

00:02:32 ,360 –> 00:02:34 ,680

Speaker 1: games without a day off. To ask a team to

51

00:02:34 ,680 –> 00:02:37 ,520

Speaker 1: go on the road in a short situation is very

52

00:02:37 ,520 –> 00:02:39 ,440

Speaker 1: similar to what the Chiefs had last year with three

53

00:02:39 ,480 –> 00:02:42 ,440

Speaker 1: games in eleven days. This is not easy, particularly after

54

00:02:42 ,480 –> 00:02:46 ,639

Speaker 1: a tough, physical overtime game with some injuries. But it’s

55

00:02:46 ,680 –> 00:02:48 ,640

Speaker 1: what we got, It’s what’s in front of us, and

56

00:02:48 ,680 –> 00:02:50 ,359

Speaker 1: that’s what Coachree would say to attack.

57

00:02:50 ,760 –> 00:02:53 ,919

Speaker 2: Yeah, it’s not easy. Think about like a normal week.

58

00:02:54 ,080 –> 00:02:57 ,520

Speaker 2: You have three days of practice, you have multiple days

59

00:02:57 ,600 –> 00:03:00 ,960

Speaker 2: of preparation on top of that, doing like film study

60

00:03:01 ,000 –> 00:03:04 ,400

Speaker 2: and treatment and stuff like that. Not this week. Today

61

00:03:04 ,440 –> 00:03:06 ,840

Speaker 2: is Monday that we’re shooting this. We fly to Dallas

62

00:03:06 ,880 –> 00:03:09 ,960

Speaker 2: on Wednesday. Right, You basically have like one day because

63

00:03:10 ,000 –> 00:03:11 ,800

Speaker 2: today is a day where you’re trying to get your

64

00:03:11 ,840 –> 00:03:14 ,560

Speaker 2: body right and recover. You have one day to prepare

65

00:03:14 ,560 –> 00:03:17 ,840

Speaker 2: for this game. Essentially, that’s where you rely on your

66

00:03:18 ,160 –> 00:03:21 ,079

Speaker 2: coaches to be doing advanced work right. And the chiefs

67

00:03:21 ,120 –> 00:03:24 ,160

Speaker 2: have an extensive staff of people that their job is

68

00:03:24 ,200 –> 00:03:26 ,440

Speaker 2: to have the coaches ready for the following week, and

69

00:03:26 ,480 –> 00:03:29 ,519

Speaker 2: you really lean on those people right now. But I

70

00:03:29 ,600 –> 00:03:31 ,880

Speaker 2: keep saying this, We’re going to have to face a

71

00:03:31 ,880 –> 00:03:34 ,600

Speaker 2: short week either way. I’d much rather do it after

72

00:03:34 ,680 –> 00:03:37 ,400

Speaker 2: a big win like we did than losing. This would

73

00:03:37 ,400 –> 00:03:39 ,160

Speaker 2: be a tough day if we had lost that game.

74

00:03:40 ,040 –> 00:03:42 ,000

Speaker 1: And happy Thanksgiving by the way to all of you.

75

00:03:42 ,360 –> 00:03:44 ,560

Speaker 1: It’s different for us. This is a Monday and a

76

00:03:44 ,560 –> 00:03:46 ,200

Speaker 1: Tuesday
