FTF: Are Chiefs BACK as AFC Favorites? Mahomes Dominates, Lamar Struggles vs. KC | First Things F...

Описание: On First Things First, Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes dive deep into the Kansas City Chiefs' recent dominant performance. Patrick Mahomes had a record-breaking day, becoming the youngest and fastest to 250 touchdowns, showcasing renewed chemistry with receivers like Xavier Worthy and Travis Kelce. Nick declares the Chiefs are once again the "scariest team in the league" and the "real favorites" in the AFC, highlighting their defense and improved roster health compared to other contenders. The panel debates whether the Chiefs are truly "back" to elite status, with Broussard acknowledging their top-tier contender status but questioning their overall favoritism given the early season.

The discussion also heavily focuses on the Baltimore Ravens' loss to the Chiefs and Lamar Jackson's continued struggles against them. Broussard breaks down the blame for the Ravens' performance, attributing it to a banged-up defense (with multiple starters injured), questionable coaching decisions (like the uncharacteristic limited usage of Derek Henry), and Lamar Jackson potentially being "in his head" when facing the Chiefs. Nick and Broussard analyze Lamar's out-of-sorts play, discussing whether the Chiefs' defensive coordinator, Steve Spagnuolo, has found the key to containing him.

Kevin Wildes provides skepticism, pointing to the Chiefs' recent opponents' defensive struggles and the Ravens' significant injuries as factors. The hosts also briefly touch on the Buffalo Bills' recent tough games and Jalen Hurts' performance for the Eagles. The segment concludes with a delicious Kansas City BBQ interlude.

Is the AFC still wide open, or have the Chiefs re-established their dominance as the team to beat? Watch the full debate!
