"Travis Kelce Thinks He Will Play vs Lions Tonight, The Team On The Other Hand.." | Pat McAfee Show

Obviously, Travis Kelsey, all eyes on Travis, we assume Chris Jones' ship has sailed for at least

tonight

, who knows how close they are, even though he and McDonald's were able to come to an agreement, he and the Chiefs could not reach an agreement. You said you got information? It froze there it froze there on me Pat, I don't know if it was AJ's shot that interfered with my shot there or what the deal was, but anyway you were just honest and I think I know the question because I was prepared for this question , I made some calls thinking you were going to ask about Travis Kelsey ahead of time, boom, and he basically told some people last night that he

thinks

he's going to

play

, the problem is that he wants to

play

and he

thinks

he can play with them.

We're going to work with him before the game and essentially at the end Chiefs coach Rick Burkholder

will

make the final decision on whether Travis Kelsey ends up playing here or not and I think he feels like he can go but also if they didn't play With it, they would have 10 days to rest and prepare it. He has a bone bruise in his knee, it's very painful to have to play, so I don't know if there is an answer at the moment as to whether he

will

go or not. Travis Kelsey probably thinks he's going to play and wants to play, but Rick Burkholder, the

team

's coach, may prevent that in pregame warmups, depending on how his knee feels and how he looks talking about getting back into shape.

Um, Darius Butler. here thinks Travis Kelsey could play

tonight

Clark Hunt, the owner of the Chiefs says I won't bet against Travis Kelsey and none of us would because he's a guy from Ohio, he's tough, he's going to go down like a goat, any of those guys I'm going to have an incredible work ethic and toughness and everything you potentially need, even the bones Bros, although last night one of the most games of season 16, knowing that the games will become more important in the future, I think I'll probably is not playing, that has no information, it's just I project that if that's the case, how does Patrick Mahomes navigate this literal exit for him in every important situation, without playing the first night and being told basically two days before ?

Yeah, I wouldn't bet against Kelsey either, Pat, you know when you win. that Super Bowl, uh, all the things that come with it, you want to participate in the parade, Kelsey had a great parade going to the line, well, when they got to the sign, I mean, it's a cool moment, uh, to be a part of Uh, me. I've been uh um I was at a home game where we dropped the banner. I was along for the ride when the Patriots dropped the banner, so Detroit better watch tonight because emotions will be high to watch. Kelsey stays there, all I'll say is Andy Reed knows Kelsey might not play so he's had time to call some plays that he likes and that Patrick likes, it's one thing when Kelsey gets hurt in the second quarter , oh no, all of our Kelsey plays are out the window, right, they'll have the Kelsey package, they'll have the Kelsey-less package, they've been here long enough.

I don't worry about Patrick, he knows the guys and he wants to get the ball too. Look, I see the Chiefs playing well tonight, you can't not win that game when you drop the banner, that's a big deal, so it's going to be a tough game for Detroit playing in Kansas City, although I'm drinking the Detroit Kool. -Aid this year Pat, I'm a golf fan, I'm a Campbell fan. I see Detroit having a good year too, okay, Ben Johnson is the talking piece up there, especially in the off-season because there were a couple of

team

s that wanted to do it. being the head coach for some reason they didn't hire him every time that thing clicked last year in the second half Detroit had the most points per game in the entire NFL when they got him they like trick plays they are aggressive Jared Goff seems to be the guy, what should we expect from the Detroit Lions offense with an

other

year in the system?

You think I can't tell you how important it is for Jared to have the same system, uh, with the same coordinator, you want to keep ruining a quarterback, he keeps giving. he's a different coordinator every year on the right, let's punish our quarterbacks, so credit to Dan for making this possible. You know, keep Ben there, keep Jared comfortable, he'll be able to play faster, it's less thinking about breaking the hole. Where is my first reading? Where is my? second reading I remember my first year in my system in Indianapolis Pat. I kept saying please keep the first reading open because I'm not sure where the second and third reading are.

It's a bad feeling for any quarterback, so I see Jared playing. making quick decisions, they will run the ball well, their defense will be Dan Campbell salty, so look, the NFC North is there for the taking now without a certain quarterback playing for the Jets now, look what the Detroit Lions are , but Every time we talk about Peyton Manning, he said on Banner night that they have to go get that win, not Chris Jones or Travis Kelsey, that will be the conversation of the day, but that mentality of saying, hey, this is a great night for our city. a great night for your memory of what we were able to achieve last year.

It almost made me believe that Travis Kelsey was going to play because obviously I was just part of a team that lost the Super Bowl, so I never got the chance to dance in a confetti at a Super Bowl. I never had a chance to go to an after party with Rick Ross doing his thing or anyone else doing their thing. I didn't get a chance to experience a banner night or anything like that, so I don't necessarily know the Feeling that he obviously does it in two different places, I guess it's a lot of pride and if Travis Kelsey is the guy we think he is, which is a absolute Ohio dog, yeah, he's an Ohio guy, remember, forget it, yeah, hey, on the

other

hand

. although this is perfect for mcdc and the Lions to also play spoiler whoa yeah Dan Campbell you know he's getting this guy hey let's go Super Bowl night MVP Arrowhead banner no one believes in us , guys, hey, this is going to be hell, I can't.

Forget we did that last year to the Green Bay Packers in Lambo in the last game of the year to knock them out of the playoffs. I'll tell you what man, when the national anthem comes on, oh man, that's wind beneath my Wings, man, yeah, and then. they're going home, although I get it, but whether Kelsey plays or not, I get that

lions

are a hot choice right now and there's a lot of hype around them and as much as I'd love to say, hey, I think the

lions

are going to win tonight I want to travel with my brothers from the NFC North, you know, that's what my heart tells me, my head tells me, yeah, okay, let's stick with Mahomes and the Chiefs, they're pretty good too me too.

I don't want to go too far and then be in a situation where tomorrow it's like, well, we should have known that the Chiefs on Banner night were going to win.
