John Middlekauff reacts to the Detroit Lions 21-20 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. John discusses why the Chiefs need to pay Chris Jones as they attempt to defend their Super Bowl title and how Patrick Mahomes was unable to overcome a lackluster performance for Kansas City’s wide receiver unit as Travis Kelce sat out due to injury. John also breaks down the Lions dynamic offense, featuring Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs, and David Montgomery, and why they can be dangerous in the playoffs.

Mahomes understands what its like to be Lamar Jackson now and have your wrs drop everything
Did we watch the same game? The Lions played terrible and the Chiefs played worse.
The scariest thing? The lions are only going to get better as the season goes on. Going into Arrowhead an opening night and winning against Mahomes is no accident
When herbert got an extension, this guy did 30 mins video to say how amazing Herbert is, but when burrow….
Gronk better than Kielce we gotta stop the nonsense by the way ima bills fan so no bias
Let me get this straight, you believe more in a 18 year college player in Pickett who had average years in the ACC, but not in Mac who had a 41-3 TD/INT ration in the SEC – Who, I might add, had a DC calling plays last year after having a pretty solid rookie year. While, I might add – add, Pitt has Matt Canada calling plays??? Can you see the logic here?
I don’t think it was in disarray. They scored 20 points having the worst performance of their life. Receivers dropped 5 balls, one of which was a pick 6, and one which would have been the winning score. Lions scored 14 offensive points. If the chiefs get more disciplined they will be fine
I’m blaming Toney. Yes, mahomes missed 2 throws, but tony dropped 3 balls, one of which was a pick 6 and one which would have been the winning score. That’s a 10 point swing just from his drops
2dudes from the mafia? Well let me stop listening
Hey lions and these Lamar fanboys in here hating on Mahomes. I’ll come back to y’all comments week six on lion’s and there record then.
Veach screwed up big time. He got cocky after the tram won it all last year without reek and he said hold my beer. Well strip our recieving room of even more talent amd be just fine. WRONG
Credit to the lions, they made the plays that needed to be made and are legit contenders. If you came away from that game thinking the chiefs arent going to be a superbowl contender this year at full strength, you are mistaken.
Rogers one Super Bowl he had a top 10 defense… that shit is mandatory.
He said Primetime to Dallas 🤣😂🤣😂
The bengals are way better than the chiefs this year. They have studs at wide recievers and not complete tomato can rejects from the giants amd packers…
No way cards win with dobbs
Chiefs will start 0-2. Losing next week again at Jacksonville.
Okay John, Herbert was hurt and didn’t have his top 2 receivers down the stretch last year and was getting wins and everyone was saying he was having a down year
This is the best independent sports show on youtube! 30 minutes of good content, no fluff.
Charger fan here. The chiefs lost tonight because of one player: Kadarius Toney. Can’t remember the last WR having that many HORRIBLE drops in one game. One drop lead to the pick 6, and another would’ve put them in FG range late in the 4th.
But it was great to see the Lions have their moment on the national stage, very well deserved. Can’t say I’m looking forward to our matchup down the road!
Chiefs have no one to blame but themselves. They could've paid T. Hill and/or JuJu. They should've paid Chris Jones. They got cheap and got beat. No excuses.
The NFC North will soon have a change of guard spearheaded by the Lions
The lions played without one of their best players. It's how football works. You have to still field a team when you have players out. And dropping passes that hit you in the hands is normally a mental problem: Thinking past the catch and anticipating the hit. The Lions were a better team that night, and especially in the final 10 minutes. I can't ever remember being able to say that about the lions in a 1 point game.
There was so much wrong with this game. From the uncalled holding and false starts from the dang rt tackle to the terrible drops. I'd love if the lions truly took this game, but if Mahomes had any receivers we'd lose. Say all that to say this. Proud of my Lions
😂😂😂😂Chris Jones sitting down with mafias
This was more about the chiefs laying a turd more than Detroit playing good. The offense for Detroit layed a turd too! They only scored 14 points for Christ's sakes! And that's against a stinky defense w/o chis Jones! The chiefs were terrible offensively! Congrats to the lions
John and Jason are easily the most talented hosts on the Volume and it’s not even close. These dudes know ball.
I don’t understand his Mike Brown take. What news was leaked at the wrong time? Who cares about timing?

I love it when John puts both his hand on his bald head out of fustration
Wait, Bill and Cougar Linda aren't a thing anymore?
That last bit on Jason Garrett and McCarthy had me dying😂😂
Russ Heltman wrote an entire article about this video and the John’s comments on burrows contract lol
To people using the Chiefs didn't have 2 of their best players arguement I say this. No one ever gives that excuse to the Lions when they lose with hurt players.
I'd add that it isn't the Lion's responsibility to keep your players happy, so they want to play. That is part of running an organization.
And I'd throw in, if losing your 34 year old all world TE to injury during a walk thru practice, messes your offense up that bad, you should be concerned about your depth.
That having been said, i think the Chiefs will be fine, but stop acting like the Lions were given the game, they beat the team you put out there, inspite of their own adversities, looking at the zebras.
Love it … thank-you Lord Jesus football is back … great insight on Campbell and Jared Goff.
Campbell has turned the Lions culture around 180 degrees and the team identity reflects Campbell: TOUGHNESS !! With Goff Coach Campbell's fingerprints are also there… Campbell defended Goff, stood by Goff, & supported Goff when it was a popular narrative to shit on Goff …because of that you see a super good Jared Goff brimming with confidence … the Lions are the real deal!!
John, don't go there about players not there! . By the way how many times did Mahomes drop the ball short? Absolutely a fantastic show . Keep up the good work.
That was one hell of a disclaimer hahah
I rely on John's knowledge to fill me each week
This is what happens when you go into a season without a num 1 receiver their entire wr corpa is filled with 2 and 3 was by far one of the worst wr groups in league
Chiefs fans. By crying Kelce wasn't there, are you admitting that AT HOME you are one player better than the Lions? Even when they don't play well? Jones wasn't going to make much of an impact against our O-Line. One player better, at home, against a Detroit team not on their game? Me too. Me too.
