Pod: Dave Birkett on Lions fever, Joshua Brisco on Patrick Mahomes

On Jared Goff's revenge, Patrick Mahomes' wide receivers, Eminem and that Chiefs running back who set the treadmill at too high of a speed.

Ford Field, somehow, remains fully intact after the Detroit Lions’ first playoff win in three decades. What an atmosphere. The Kansas City Chiefs are the defending Super Bowl Champions. But how different is this 2023 outfit heading to Orchard Park, NY?

To get the skinny on two fascinating playoff teams — one crashing the party, one seeking a sixth straight AFC title appearance — we reach out to a pair of experts.

Dave Birkett of The Detroit Free Press dissects everything from Jared Goff’s revenge vs. Sean McVay to the Lions’ shaky defense to exactly how loud it was inside the stadium during Detroit’s 24-23 win over the Los Angeles Rams.

Joshua Brisco of Sports Radio 810 and the Arrowhead Report fills you in on those funky Chiefs. In what ways has this KC offense changed since losing the Bills at home? Also, he supplies his personal analogy for Isiah Pacheco’s running style and has strong thoughts on the boyfriend of Taylor Swift at tight end. Good times again with Brisco.

Enjoy.
