Watch What’s Wright? with Nick Wright: sprtspod.fox/WhatsWright_YT
I’m old enough to remember when the league had a QB talent problem. Don’t take these years for granted people, the QB talent is out of control these days.
boomer
The "offense served up on a platter rules" are out of control.
Only in the AFC👍
True. Even as a millienal, qb talent is hard to find. Think about the best QB'S, 7/10 are in the AFC and how the league is set up 5/5 the best QB'S ARE IN THE AFC.
You could actually say the real Super Bowl is the AFC championship
For fans that don't watch the Chiefs as much as some, I'm a life long die hard Chiefs fan so I watch every game-- people don't realize Mahomes has moments EVERY SINGLE GAME that would be signature iconic moments for most player's careers.. He does it every week. The media has become numb to it!! And some fans have as well. But we can't allow that to happen!! This kid is truly special!!! The amazing things he does that will his team to victory, need to be celebrated. This whole, "well, that's Mahomes 🤷" thing has got to go.
Now I'm wondering how many Ryan Whites there are in KC....
Totally correct. I'm from Lubbock and watched him at Texas Tech - he was special then, and his teams didn't even have a winning record during the time he was a starter, but he managed to do some amazing things. I didn't KNOW he was going to be the NFL QB he has become, because most Texas Tech QBs don't become superstars, but I'm not surprised, thinking back on how he played in college. And let's not forget the contribution of Alex Smith in mentoring him during his rookie year. A true selfless teammate.
@@AntonVanDerSar lol I'm not FROM KC, just a huge Chiefs fan.
I'm from St Louis. Not a Chiefs fan, or a Mahomes fan. Just couldn't ever support either. Maybe because I'm from the East Side of the State. Either way. Upon Mahomes entering the league, I invested in his rookie cards. Mahomes has truly become an amazing player. I'm not a fan. Just didn't want to make the same mistake that I did with Brady, investment wise. I never ever bought one single Brady card, because I'm a Manning fan. Mahomes probably will break every QB record there is except for rushing yards.
@@ValiantVisions314 so who do you root for in today's NFL?? Did you stay with the Rams? Or what?
"He's outrunning like guys that can run." - Cowherd, 2023
To be fair, some defensive linemen can't run, but he outran Hasson Riddick
He’s outrunning faster players whats wrong about saying that
Lol it was so simple for him to say something smart instead he sounded like a dork. This is what he should have said: "he's outrunning linebackers like Reddick on ONE LEG"
😭😭😭😭😭
@@BuddhaMelffyQueen Possible the name of the player escaped him while he was saying what he said.
Thank you for pointing out that first hold because that was a drive killer and big momentum shift in the beginning of the game!
Pats fan here: love mahomes, love that there's a new dynasty, can't wait to see him chase and or break all of brady's records.
Thank you sir
All love from the Kingdom
See you can respect a player though you may not root for the team and that shows what good character you are
Not a real fan of the pats
I can't believe Mahomes wasn't sacked one time while injured. That Eagles pass-rush is legendary. Props to the O line.
* O line
Props to the slippery field*

I love watching Colin and Nick together!
These two guys have a great chemistry. I could only imagine if they would ever team up for their own show. It would easily be a number one sports show.
Nick Wright is a star. I love that Colin has the humility to allow him to shine on his platform. Kudos to both! ⭐️⭐️
The Chiefs are playing 5 D chess, the rest of the league is playing Connect Four- Nick Wright
That Pat Maholmes play reminded me of the “gotta have it” attitude of John Elway’s helicopter.
I'm a john Elway fan and your right
Nick is hilarious!!!! I always look forward to this segment with Nick
Love Nick's deep stats. Nobody's on it like Mr. Wright.
Chiefs like the Tim Duncan spurs. The coach gave young guys playing time even if they lost a few more regular season games. However, in the playoffs, they were ready.
That’s a great point
Thank you Nick for Finally making the point I have been screaming since the SB about the Holding Call.
Man this is the football Renaissance. Usually eras have 3 elite QBs tops this one has 5 and there's an arguement for another 3-4 guys it's crazy.
Mahomes elevated everyone he plays. This is the Mahomes Effect.
These guys are good for TV and no one had to insult the other or scream at each other 💪🏾💪🏾
100%! No yelling No insults Sharing insight and opinion.
Think you meant good....
@@kylepolidora9728 and no whiny-voice woman opening the show !
Chiefs baby.. nothing like being doubted and come out on top once again... chiefs
Nick, thanks for pointing out the overturned Bolton touchdown. That would have been 2 TDs in his Super Bowl! THAT would have been amazing. But the refs overturned it.
Yeah! Most folks claiming the Bradberry-JuJu DHC changed the outcome of the game🤔...if the Refs would have called that CATCH & FUMBLE a catch & fumble, instead of a ruling it an incompletion & taking a TD off the board for KC...(not to mention the previous muggings on JuJu, etc)...Chiefs win by about 14-17, cuz McKinnon would have scored a TD instead of letting clock go down....and My Man Nick Bolton would have been MVP!
Bolton after the game said he knew the second one wasn't a catch and was just hoping to get the refs to allow it.

It's honestly insane how we're a few months removed from that rams vs bills game where the entire world was convinced that josh allen was the best Qb and was on a mission this season. Mahomes shut alot of people up
Mahomes was always considered the best. Let’s not forget he has Andy Reid who make mcnabb a pro bowler.
@@d_zazter2601 Dont try to be a revisionist. Going into last season a lot of people had allen ahead of him stop it
Josh Allen was considered to have the best team therefore they were expecting a better season than Mahomes …, but that doesn’t mean they ever though he was better

Top 3 QBs in the league: 1) Mahomes 2) Mahomes on one leg 3) Mahomes on one leg with no receivers.
1) Mahomes down by double digits in the playoffs 2) Mahomes 3) Mahomes with no receivers 4) Mahomes on one leg 5) Mahomes on one leg with no receivers
There are serious takes. And then there are D riders.
Kansas City is amazing
Top QBs in the league: 1) Joe Burrow 2) everybody else. Pat Mahomes has a cheat code in Andy Reid

@@vijayvarghese1652 that'd be the best trio, homie. But you're NOT WRONG.
Excellent discussion! Nick Is hardcore!! 😊Always look forward to the show !! In regards to the holding penalty at the end of the Super Bowl in the heat of passion during the game it’s hard to resist doing certain things
Nick is spitting facts.
Consistently😤🙌🏾🔥
The Chiefs are going to have a healthy Justyn Ross next year... He was more explosive than Tee Higgins in college...
Hopefully, he’s been out years now. That neck injury might be career ending for him…. But hopes are up.
@@Drewswaggy yeah... Hopes definitely up. He technically only missed one year, but he did play 10 games during COVID.
Best segment in sports.
I’m sure it’s all my fellow CHIEFS FANS in the comments!!! Love all of you! Love you too NICK! best talking head in sports!!
On top of this point there were six bad calls. 4 favored the Eagles with 3 converting first downs from 3rd and long and 4th and long, all three leading to scores. The Chiefs got 2 with only one leading to a score. If you complain about just one call and none of the others either you didn’t watch the game, are biased, or aren’t very smart (or any combo thereof). At the end of the day you have to overcome officiating, the Chiefs certainly did. 7:24.
What a horrible take lmao. What a fing casual. Easy nitpicking narrative bozo
"At the end of the day you have to overcome officiating, the Chiefs certainly did. " THIS. I can't remember which coach I heard say this, but essentially, if you want to be champions, you have to be better than the refs calls.
If they show the initial grabbing the Jersey on the Bradbury-JuJu DHC it was a good call, especially considering that it was on a timing route, which impeded the receiver's ability to get to his mark...I am old school & hate it that is now the rule, but 🤷♂️ ...people have complained about Refs since the sport was created 😂
Excellent comment
Honestly I don’t believe you can complain about that call when they wave off the fumble return for a touch down and the call a catch when he is clearly bobbling it going out of bounds. I don’t have an issue with any of these 3 calls, they were to the letter of the law and all 3 manjorly effected to the game, hold leads to end of game, catch leads to touch down and fumble call leads to loss of a touch down for chiefs and play ends in a touchdown for Eagles
Nick and Colin are the best on radio/TV,
Mahomes scramble against the Titans in the AFCCG back in 2019 was better, but ya had 2 healthy ankles then.
Avid longtime chiefs fan and a season ticket holder here and I agree with Nick as of right now that run by Mahomes in the SB to help clinch the game is his top play.
I’d day the Fumble 6 and punt return were bigger plays than that one
So with that being said how can that possibly be Mahomes top play if it wasn’t even top play of the game
@@ryanlebard3787 Multiple shows calling it not only play of the game but a legendary play... 26 yards on a bad ankle to put your team in position to win the Superbowl.
@@lakeozarkrei3767 you’re saying that punt return didn’t put them in position to win the game lol it’s only the longest punt return in NFL history
@@lakeozarkrei3767 *super bowl history
Preach it, Nick!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼
"Mahomes scramble" Mahomes 27 yard TD run against the Titans with 11 seconds left in the first half of the 2019 AFC Championship game, to put the Chiefs up 21-17 - a game the Chiefs eventually won 35-24, was IMO, his best play.
His best run, for sure. And certainly top 5 of all plays. His best complete pass... That was 4th and 9 vs the Ravens. That throw was long and way back to the left. As it went up, I thought he literally just decided to make sure someone from either team would have a chance to make a play, but when you see it again and see if from the right angle, you can see that he actually hit a spot where only Hill could get it and Hill went and got it. Hill was not open, but he was by the time the ball arrived. Hill was WAY downfield and running across the field and towards Mahomes. That is NOT a normal route, but 15 hit the bullseye despite the fact that the ball had a lot of air under it. His best play ever.... Incomplete....Dropped by the receiver. Hit him in the facemask. He was horizontal to the ground after being chased and eventually tripped by a Tampa Bay rusher during the Super Bowl. When he goes to Canton, his statue should be him releasing that ball. He is the best QB under duress that I have ever seen. Only Elway comes close.
No way… even if he doesn’t make that titans run they have a whole half. Also he didn’t have a high ankle sprain. Mahomes run made a much bigger impact because it was later, plus it was in the SUPERBOWL. It may not have looked as cool, but 100% the Super Bowl run was more impactful, on the biggest possible stage and therefore his biggest and best play.
Yea Nick! Your delivery is top notch
Love Nick!
Stafford over Rodgers is hilarious
As a Rams fan, it did feel good getting that NFC champ saints no call
rigged just like the Super Bowl
Love Nick
Like it or not Nick is our guy. He’s one of the good ones. We all need a Chiefs a 2020’s dynasty. Just like the 60’s Packers. 70’s Steelers, 80’s 49’ers, 90’s Cowboys, 2000’s, and 2010’s Patriots, the Chiefs need to be the 2020’s dynasty
Best segment on TV
No. The 3rd and 15 conversion in SB v SF when they were down 10 with about 8m left. If they dont convert they likely to lose that game.
I agree, that was Mahones' best play so far.
The best play of his career was the Wasp play and it’s not close. If they don’t convert that 3rd and 15 they lose.
It was the most crucial. On that I agree. But in terms of raw talent, both running and passing, he has had many more impressive plays.
Caleb Williams is going to be SO electric!!! I’m so excited to see where he goes in the league. Hoping it’s a well run team in the NFC so we can see Mahomes vs Williams for years!
Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts
Mahomes, Mahomes on 1 leg, Caleb Williams
@@Toothless412 Joe Burrow and Mahomes are AFC. Jalen Hurts vs Caleb Williams for years would be awesome.
@@ClipSail Agree!!!
He won't be out till next year right?
Chiefs from top to bottom are so much better than the rest of the NFL! After I watched that game, it became very clear that Reid is so much smarter, experienced and innovative than any other NFL coach! Stupid Eagles let him go. 😂 If Reid were coaching the Eagles they would’ve won this Super Bowl! At this point in his coaching career, he’s just toying with the opponent’s! That game was a coaching clinic! 👍 That Super Bowl seemed to be the best coached game I’ve ever seen.
Stupid Eagles let him go huh. Well let’s see he was the coach of the Eagles for 12 years and in that time he won 0 SuperBowls and only made it there once. Since firing him the Eagles have won a SuperBowl and been to another one in 11 years. Reid is obviously a Hall of Fame coach, but Philly was right to fire him and it worked out pretty well
@@peterroman8250since firing him, he has more bowl wins than them in a shorter time frame lol big red is that guy😎🍿
🤣🤣🤣🤣Non-connecting flight from Phoenix to LA. Such a funny line that’s probably not appreciated.
All hail the glorious Chiefs
Trevor Lawrence being third is ridiculous, he has had one good year and one playoff win, that’s it. He is good, but third? That’s waaaaay too high
3:10 “THE JOG” !!!!!!! 🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲
It was genius, as Eagles did not expect Mahomes to run. He did the same thing against the Bengals.
I watch almost every Chiefs game and i still get thrown off when i see Mahomes running, we also forget how fast he is based on the arm talent.
Name a better duo than nick and Colin
I put Hurts ahead of Josh Allen. At least this year.
Agreed. Allen turns it over too much.
Ahead of JOEVERATED too, coming from a Chiefs fan.
Hurts deserves to be at 5, probably 4 if we’re being real. I know he benefits a lot from his team but that dude was killing it in the super bowl .
I'm a Chiefs fan & I think he deserves to be #2, tbh. He definitely deserves it more than JOEVERATED.
I see the graphics team still hasn't updated the dates that Nick releases his podcast. It's Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Although that'll seem to change now that the NFL season is over.
I love Nick's honesty re: comparison to Brady. LOL
Colin was like whoa whoa whoa whoa. I was like go go go. LFG.
Glad to see Tom Green is still finding work.
Colin “woah he’s outrunning guys that can run” Cowherd
Don’t ever call us the new patriots. We are not the same. We play fair and we win fair.
I don’t understand how Hurts can be behind Lawrence
Yeah, the Prince Who Was Promised really should stick to Waffle House & leave the NFL to professional QB'S.
Mahomes is always going to come up with magical plays and ways to win. He is sooo creative and will always continue to get better!
I don't see how Lawrence is higher than Hurts.
I hope you all know how bad a HIGH ANKLE SPRAIN IS. .
The offensive and defensive coordinator of the losing team both get immediate H.C jobs. WINNING team OC has won two Super Bowls still can't get a HC job. Make that make sense!
I thought Nick is going to put Mahomes with one leg at no.2
That long TD pass to AJ Brown probably should’ve been intercepted if the db hadn’t lost the ball in the air. We would’ve been looking at Hurts a little differently.
Love Herbert think he’s crazy talented but what has he done to get put top 5
I don't get it: Hurts gave up 6 points on an unforce error and everybody acts like because he didn't do it a second time it was an otherworldly performance.
Not a huge Nick Wright fan, but great analysis on the Chiefs offense.
NFL needs to figure out how to get Caleb and Maye to the NFC
Not sure I'd agree with his Warriors reference. This year GS has already lost as many games as they lost all of last season. Mainly because last year they had the #2 defense in the league and this year...well, there's a 2 at the front of the number but there's like a 7 or 8 at the end.
I didn't know Hans Gruber knew this much about sports
This was the well-coached kids vs. the favored Brutes. The NFL is best played, now days, as keep-away, and not the "bully wins" by pre-game vote. Greg Olsen felt weelly bad. He couldn't handle an upset by the kids that listened to their coaches instead of complaining at the refs. The game passed them by.
Mahomeboy got that no fly zone
Nobody in KC whined about the offsides call against Dee Ford that cost KC the AFC Championship vs NE. That is because HE WAS OFFSIDES. So why are people bitching about this hold. It was a CLEAR violation due to the way he was pulling on the Jersey. Had that NOT been called, that would have been a travesty and a gross decision by the official. In fact, if we really do want to advocate for the "Let them play" mindset, then people should be OUTRAGED at the Dee Ford call since he had no impact on the play whatsoever.
The Trevor Lawrence hype needs a chill a bit. Dude had 17 turnovers this year
Lol we gonna pretend like he isn't on the dumpster fire franchise Jacksonville Jaguars. His hype is all real
@@GKA11111 he’s without a doubt a great talent but I don’t think he’s top 3 yet. He was 9th in yards, tied for 7th in touchdowns, and tied with ANDY DALTON in passer rating. Not saying Andy daltons as good as him lol but there’s literally no stats that say he’s top 3
Not saying he's the 3rd best qb, but you should check how the numbers improve as the year advance.
allen had double that a the media cant and couldnt get enough of him
@Jarod Rochell do you only evaluate players off stats?
How in the world does Cowherd have Justin Herbert ahead of Hurts? That's insane. Herbert has done NOTHING in the playoffs
Colin's QB ranking are appalling. Allen, Lawrence, and Herbert should not be above Hurts. No way.
Should be above JOEVERATED too & I'm a Chiefs fan.
As a mizzou fan in the sec and a Chiefs fan in kcmo. I thought Hurts was system guy. And tbh I think the Chiefs thought the same thing. I believe they were focused on stopping the run and making Jaylen beat him which he very well could’ve done had he got the ball. I was shocked at how good he played. He’s the real deal . I’ve always liked the kid and he’s been nothing but a leader and a team mate. Congrats philly you got something special
Josh Allen behind Trevor and Justin? What a joke…
Why are we still discussing the hold on JuJu? When do we start talking about six rugby scrums which inflate the Eagle's game stats because they only have to get to 3rd and 2 to get first downs? Those snaps were a lot more painful to watch than the kneeldowns to end the game. Granted, they were legal plays. They won't be next season, so let's see Jalen's first down stats next season. He's won me over but I think he's just another Lamar Jackson knockoff until he shows me he can read defenses and carry the team with his arm and good decisions. I agree that Joe Burrow is dangerous, and maybe a notch above Josh Allen in reading defenses. Josh is the better multi-threat weapon while his legs last. The less we talk about Mahomes' legs, the better. He needs to run just enough to keep the pass rushers honest.
First Thing First, NICKS show is the BEST Sports Show now🫡😉😁
Tell me why I'm not even surprised how high they have Trevor Lawrence dude play good for half a season had a horrible first half in the playoffs but because they ended up winning and came back it was a great performance I don't get it
The eagles coaching staff told the defense not to get burned on that same fake motion play for a 3rd time so Bradbury did everything they could not to let it happen again and that was what he had to do was hold because it's too dang good of a scheme.
I’d put Jalen ahead of Josh 🤷♀️
Exactly. Josh hasn't even been to one SB
@B Y Nick foles is better than Hurts by your logic
How can these pair and skip bayless be on the same network. Can't believe the guy literally said it wasn't special ! Finally a serious take
Chiefs Kingdom fans are all over the place I think the Chiefs are Americas team! They are the most fun team to watch and CBS always putting them on the air the draw the attendence. Nick Wright is a big Chiefs fan.
The chiefs. Just sharpened iron. With 🧇 iron. 😆🏈🏹👈👍
The Cardinals turf got the most tackles ....it was a skate rink
Has anyone notices that most of the best QBs in the NFL have had their best games against the Chiefs or at least excelled vs. KC. Is that because they rose to the occasion or because the KC defense is mediocre? Hurts... Greatest game in his career vs KC in the Super Bowl Allen 2 greatest games in losses to KC Herbert. Several very good games vs KC and no bad ones. Facing the rest of the league, he has been far more inconsistent. Lawrence. Greatest game probably vs LAC, but 2nd greatest vs KC in last seasons playoffs. Derek Carr. Always plays well, and above his norm, vs KC Most of the rest of these 10 QBs simply have not played KC much. However, KC has managed to make Lamar Jackson look very average.
The chiefs were playing chess not checkers 😁🏈🏹👈👍
excellent point
Jalen hurts is much better than Trevor Lawrence come on now
Stay cool 😎 knick. And tell it. Like. A true competitor 😆🏈🏹👈👍
hurts was inches away from a 2nd fumble
So many people. Not everyone.
Probably the budget of the First Things First is spent on Nick Wright salary. 🙃
I wonder if Jalen bet on himself? Him scoring 3 TDs in the Super Bowl, according to Caesar's Palace, was a +2800 on a $100 bet!
