Monday Night Football Recap NFL Week 9 Commentary - Pro Football Opinion
How often do coaches call each other during the season? Is there a protocol?
Bucs OC calls McVay & Zack Thomas according to the broadcast
Does that imply they’re not on each other’s schedule this season?
The Bucs went up 7-3 in the second quarter. But is anyone taking the Bucs? I’m not.
Travis Kelce can still do this, show up and randomly be a workhorse. He can especially do it in a playoff game.
Hopkins 5 for 65 already, just what the chiefs ordered. Make it 6/66 TD
There’s no doubt the Chiefs will come down and win this game.
12 & 15 play drives with the added weapons Chiefs showing they actually can control the pace on offense.
Hopkins' welcome home moment is here.
Mahomes perfect on third down 11/11 3 TD 126 yards
Buccaneers just need more help for Baker.
They need to add a WRvat the deadline.
They should have gone for Hopkins. Instead they slept on it, and he lit them up for 8 catches and 2 TDS.
Tampa is the best under .500 team, and they're still in okay shape in their division.
I’m not off the Tampa bandwagon.
Questionable decision to call the timeout with :30 left
Questionable decision to not run on 1st & goal.
MyO: Should have gone for two to win in this situation.
2 game winning drives for Mahomes already this season.
3rd Overtime game of the week! Hooray football.
Cool moment for a Mahomes & Mayfiekd as OT captains. Classic. Throw back to their Texas shootout where they combined for over 1,000 yards in 2016.
Baker hosted Mahomes as a recruit at Texas Tech. Did not know that.
Bakers anguish after losing the coin flip. Probably knew he likely wouldn’t get to possess the ball.
Hopkins awareness shows his effectiveness as a veteran pro. The Chiefs win the trade deadline by acquiring him.
That two tight end offset formation by the Chiefs is superb.
The Chiefs show again in OT that they can really control the clock and the pace of the game.
As has been said this season the Chiefs find a way to win. What worked for them in week 9 wasn’t even on the team in week 1 in Kareem Hunt and DeAndre Hopkins.
All touchdowns on 3rd downs.
3rd Mahomes GW drive this season.
Key stats
Hopkins goes on to finish with 8 receptions for 88 yards and two touchdowns.
Mahomes 291 yards and 3 TD all on third down.
Kareem Hunt goes for 106 yards on 27 carries.
Kelce also gains 100 on 14 carries.
Baker adds 2 TDs & still leads the league with 20 total touchdowns. Added 20 rushing yards and almost led the team in that. He needs some help.
DeAndre Hopkins 8 catches for 88 yards and two touchdowns. Just what the Chiefs need from him every now and then.
