- Published on Jan 23, 2023 veröffentlicht
- Nick Wright joins Colin Cowherd after his Kansas City Chiefs successfully secured their spot in yet another AFC Championship. But with Patrick Mahomes suffering with a high ankle sprain, Colin and Nick weigh their chances against the rival Cincinnati Bengals, lead by a quarterback, Joe Burrow, who is 3-0 against Mahomes. Plus, Nick lays out why Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills have been exposed in their loss to Cincinnati in the Divisional round, and lost their right to be considered the Chiefs' rivals. Nick and Colin also talk the future of Dak Prescott, who was eliminated when the Dallas Cowboys lost to Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers.

Check out the What’s Wright? with Nick Wright podcast: sprtspod.fox/WhatsWright_YT
Should change that title to "Wright is Wrong" or "Wright, Not Right"
didnt age well
"Why did the Bills get more credit for losing to the Chiefs in the playoffs than the Bengals got for beating them." Might be the smartest thing I've ever heard Nick say.
@CJ tell that to Brandon beane
The smartest thing said by a guy that's a fan first and an analyst second is a very low bar.
@Iam Champit’s coming I have no doubt. Maybe this year or another, he is that good!
@brandon oharaget a good running back,
@B Ever and where is Burrow’s Super Bowl ring? Lmfao 🤣
The talent Philly and Niners have is unreal. Colin didn’t even mentioned any of the Philly pass rushers or Niner’s receivers. Can’t wait for this game
@Chilbo Swaggins I've seen the Chiefs get good pressure on Burrow and collapse the pocket only for him to slither out time and time again.
@brainsmasher66 Joe Brrrr was top 2 regular season for release time just over 2.5 seconds but still brought it down a tick for playoffs. He must remember watching TB12 during those seasons without Dante Scarnecchia coaching his O Line. Get rid of it or Von Miller was digging up grass with your facemask.
It probably could be a top 30 list
@One Nation Underground yup
@Christopher Hernandez facts!! I do think Purdy is nice but put Hurtz on the Niners and they would be blowing teams out by 14-20 points every game..... not even close
The ability that Nick Wright has to walk the "you love me, you hate me" tightrope is a balancing act us mere mortals could never understand. All kidding aside, he's sharp and quick-witted, and always has a funny take for Cowherd's show.
@C.K.888 🤡
And unlike Skip he doesn’t just focus on Brady or the Cowboys
Remember The Prince That Was Promised?
@corey morrissette maybe you haven't seen Nick in his radio days. Guy has had a pretty solid glow up since then.
🤡
@FoToRealistic 🤡
Nick has really grown own me. He's frickin hilariously sardonic and does in fact know his stuff.
@Slabby Fatback so is Baker Mayfield Joe’s daddy?
@Tyson Moran The classic excuse "they aren't actually on the field at the same time blah blah blah" that's only good when your QB gets bounced-And, No, I don't think Pat could carve up his own D-Chris Jones would ruin him. Just get used to it, Joe is Pats daddy and u at least still got Josh to compete with for 2nd place, that's not so bad
@Tyson Moran eh he’s virtually on par with mahomes td wise. Joe started his rookie year and was hurt 6 games. Mahomes sat behind Alex smith a year and inherited an extremely good yac/ redzone team in Kareem hunt kelce Watkins and tyreek hill. Mahomes also has two more years playing. They both are averaging in the mid 30s for yearly tds. Even with cincy running it more.
@TheGraffitiPlayground doesn’t throw as many touchdowns either 🤔
Sus
Hilarious! The sincerity in Nick's eyes after he cracks this enormous "Mahomes on one leg" joke; it's priceless. 4:12
Notice he doesn't blink for 13 seconds while justifying that #3 choice.
@corey morrissette It's the stare of a sleepless coffee head. Good observation!
How about his eyes looked full of drugs and lack of sleep?
👁🗨 confirmed
Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed
Crazy how much talent is going to
Be on the field for Eagles vs 49ers going to be an insane game
49rs and Eagles have best talent ...way..way more than Chiefs and Cincinnati and still only tean can beat them , will be Chiefs. If both Purdy and Hurts play for other team, they will be exposed in second game in the season.
All the quarterbacks are in the AFC ,,,,eagles 49ers for 2nd Place
Lots of injuries
Burrow, Mahomes, Kelce, Chase, Higgins, Boyd, Hendrickson, Karlaftis, Mixon, Hubbard, Bell, Bates, Hilton, Wilson, Pratt, Reader, and I'm sure there's Chiefs players I forgot about.
When it comes to ratings….. not even close compared to last game dallas/sf….
Nick deserves to take this victory lap, I thought he was just hating but he was right about Josh allen
@Robert A. tl:dr - I have no idea how to start and stop a sentence.
All this Allen hate, Mahomes came into the league with probably the best offensive system and play caller in the history of the league I mean Reid won 12 games every yr with freaking Alex Smith, and he came in and got to just learn for a yr and then had hof level weapons all over the field, what did Allen have? What Allen still have? A bad o line, a defensive hc that puts all their cap and high draft capital into a defense that falls apart in the playoffs, a rookie o.c. that can't scheme a guy open or make in game adjustments, and only 1 legitimate weapon in Diggs, Knox is not Kelce not even close he is not a safety net for Josh, he isn't used in the middle of the field, he averages 2 catches a game, Knox is a one trick pony, if u can get him to the red zone he is slippery and a size mismatch, but he does none of the stuff Kelce does on every drive all down the field, the bills have no running game outside of Allen (800 freaking yards) and no other legit weapons, Davis drops more than he catches and that's when he actually gets open, go look at drop rates this yr, bills recievers led the league, watch a bills game, every game is the same, it's all on Allen, no one has accomplished more with less, compare who Mahomes, Burrows, Tua and Hurst have had to play with, Nick has hated Josh because Josh was the first guy to be able to legitimately challenge Mahomes, from a physical talent stand point Allen has no equal, that doesn't make him better just means he has more tools and it scared Nick the previous 2 yrs when Daboll was play calling and those tools allowed Allen to compete against superior rosters, now Burrows has beaten Mahomes 3 times so Nick has no choice but to give Burrows his props or he loses all credibility, but Burrows has Chase and Higgins and a brilliant o.c. and d.c., my point is all these guys have x amount of talent, physical ability and intelligence but where that takes any of them is largely a byproduct of the system they r in the guy calling the plays and weapons they have, Josh hit a ceiling with the roster and play calling he was provided and I do believe he did more than the other 2 could have done with the same roster, I don't see Burrow or Mahomes getting 800yards with their legs, and remember Josh isn't a run first or even 2nd qb nor does the current offense use many designed runs, so when he does run its because he has to, either the scheme failed, the o line didn't hold up or his receivers failed to get open
@kentwpiano you’re in denial my guy
@Jeff Tomasello stahp 😂
that was a good laugh 🤣
@Suneil Motwani My mistake. ✌
Nick and Colin need to get a show together. They’re so good together. I love how funny Colin finds Nick.
Im going with the Bengals, but I also realize this could go either way...Burrow is deadly accurate and makes good quick decisions
Gg
@GoodLuckBeatz no worries. Burrow isn't afraid to be tackled. It's football
@GoodLuckBeatz, it doesn’t show in his passing numbers, though.
@GoodLuckBeatz he would be number one by a large margain if he wasnt so good at moving in the pocket and buying some extra time he is by far the best at that currently in the nfl
@Robert 5th most sacked qb in the league 😬
Nick is actually a genius. I mean he can definitely be annoying with it, but it’s undeniable. That man is brilliant 👌🏻 he deserves the success he’s achieved, especially now
Veach and his staff are some of the best, keeping this roster going every season. In Veach we trust. Go Chiefs!
Boo boo chiefs
Veach is gonna have to get more pass rushers cause outside of Jones, KC doesnt rush the passer enough....they have a lot of sacks, but often times they've need to blitz to get those...that will work against most QBs..but not the elite ones
Love them together can’t lie, great chemistry like big brother little brother
A number of teams saw that Tampa Bay and the Rams won Super Bowls by pushing their chips all in for a single year, so they follow suit. Not a long term strategy, and if it fails in year one, the team is in trouble. The five-year thing has a lot to do with winning with very good young players Who haven’t gotten to franchise tag or free agency yet. it’s all about the salary cap.
4:35 Great analogy. I’ve been saying this about Allen as well. Cagey, tough to bring down. Crazy athleticism. Ben had lotsa talent around him.
Terrible analogy. Allen plays nothing like Big Ben lol.
I hope mahomes can be competent this weekend. High ankles are no joke at all.
Not rooting for any team in particular. Just rooting for a good game.
@Christian Graff it doesn't matter, Cincy fans will assume they are and call it out before anyone does or doesn't use it as an excuse. I was happy for Cincy when they started improving, but they haven't been as good of a fanbase as I'd hoped. Or as good of fans as some other improving teams. Shame too, they have a solid team.
@TorpidRL Can't speak for other fans, but Sunday will be different.
The price of the brick going up. 😂😂😂 Gotta love when sports talk crosses over with the wire.
Comparing Josh Allen to Big Ben is disrespectful. By this point in Ben’s Career he already won 2 super bowls.
@scott michael96 so much idiocy in one comment! Definitely a bills fan!
@Left Leg Cemetery Colin just did
I never heard anyone compare Josh Allen and Big Ben🤷
@scott michael96 man you were right up until you went far right wing extremist 😬
His defense won 2 Superbowls
Love when he has nick on! You’ll never hear him laugh as much!
Drugs can do that LOL
Nick has the best takes in the business. And Colin has the best perspective. Love these shows👌🏾
Awesome discussion!! Nick is so talented in his commentary. He makes some eye-opening revelations
I’m a bengals fan but nick has grown on me. The most over the top smack talker you want to slap but the most graceful loser shockingly. Let be honest most fans are toxic in defeat but nick is just toxic all the rest of the time lol 🤝
Bengals fans everywhere
🤣👍
Full of excuses for his team and why they lost like he should. God bless this man for being real like we all do
Maybe it’s because I’m a Chiefs fan, but I love Nick. In a field that is mostly talking heads he brings his own personality and perspective which is refreshing
I’m a Bills fan, but I still love Nick. He’s great.
Not a chiefs fan but I see yall pulling out this win most definitely if Mahomes is good to go. I just don't see the bungels defeating y'all for a 4th time because it's hard to keep defeating the same team over and over again.
I honestly think Nick is right about my Buffalo Bills and it hurts. The SB Window is closing and that's assuming it already isn't closed and it hurts.
@Joeywheeler II Honestly we have a WR Core full of underperforming players we can trade away. Then again, I don't know if I trust this Coaching staff
Do what the Eagles did and trade for more picks
All 5 starting Philly lineman made the pro bowl as a starter or alternate w/ 2 of them being All Pro hall of famers to go along with a defensive line that had 70 sacks. 70!!!! It’s going understated how good we are in the trenches. 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
Lets go Niners …. Sunday will be fireworks
The bills biggest issue is their o line and no run game outside of josh Allen. It’s too much responsibility for one player
Nick and Colin have great segments. Nick is a hot take enigma.. his explanations and facts behind the hot takes seem reasonable. And Skip Bayless should take notes if he knew what was good for him.
There are a couple positives if Homie spends the game hiding in the pocket to avoid more damage, He will probably be throwing very quick short passes that have a higher degree of completion, Take longer to get down field to make a touchdown, This will have a secondary benefit for the defense, They will be able to rest more, and be able to play fresher when thay do play......So there are reasons this could be a decent scenario for the chiefs.
God bless you Nick. I love your delivery always makes me laugh and smile.
I love that he doesn't pretend to not be partial. I love his bias wearing it on his sleeve
I saw one episode where he completely trashed the Bengals, saying they had no business getting this far again. He needs to emotionally heal from those losses.
@Jamie Alexander but... where did he lie in that segment? The Mahomes on 1 leg being the 3rd best QB with a little tongue in cheek, but it's probably not that far from the truth.
@Matt thats fine until he goes on his betting show claims to be impartial yet still always favors the chiefs
It’s consistently presented tongue in cheek. He openly spreads his bias and then pretends he doesn’t with a wink and a nod for entertainment value. That’s why it’s fun to watch.
He always says he's dripping in objectivity.
You know it's a damn good game when Deebo Samuel isn't a top 10 player in it!
The Josh Allen-Cam Newton, Philip Rivers and Big Ben comparisons are spot on.
@PANTHER189 Allen was also a more risky prospect while Cam was an undisputed #1 pick so I think it balances out
@PANTHER189 lmfaoo my fault
@Black sheep can you read? I said Allen has done LESS with MORE. More as in talent
@PANTHER189lies cam done more wit less way more than allen
@PANTHER189 when it comes to Cam and Big Ben, he’s just done less, period.
Nick has really come along these last 2 years.
Nick is right to a certain point. If Kansas can't be beat now with Mahomes injured, Bengals still having great receivers, Joe not paid yet, start your reservation for years to come for Chiefs success. Management of your team for long term success is better than pushing all your chips in. However, what the 49ers are doing is important, build that offensive line, invest on that defense, then grab offensive talent.
Nick Wright is awesome!! Funny, Analytical and 100% real!!
he looks like hans gruber
The price of the brick is going up!! Greatest show ever
My name is my name!
I love nick and Collin together. Freaking smart dudes.
These guys just gel together so good.
"The price of the brick goes up" 🤣🤣🤣 classic
My favorite sports duo!
Worst 2 on tv. Well 2 and 3 after Skip
As a 9er fan.. it pains me to point out.. mahomes won 2019 with a sprained ankle.. I believe too that was also a high ankle sprain as well..
@TorpidRL Mahomes beat burrow on one leg and with cab drivers as his receivers
@EnjoytheMENT For real. Bunch of idiots always making excuses. Watch if Burrow wins the SB this year. Chief's fans will be saying "BuT MaHoMe'S HaS TwO mVp'S sO hE's beTtEr" (If mahome's wins MVP which he will)
@DarkSydeArturo rivalry? Yall won a superbowl? hahahaha
@TorpidRL chiefs fans and the media are desperate for a curb stomping to be a rivalry
@dugsbunny og scared of what? chiefs fans think this is a rivalry but the other side has to win for it to be a rivalry its just a curb stomping
It would be awesome if the Bengals go against the 49ers like in that '89 Super Bowl. That was the first one I remember watching as a kid growing up in the 80's. Imagine that, a 9 year old kid watching a bunch of grown adults acting like kids screaming at the television.
All the Bills need to advance as a team is a great running back who has good hands too…..
The Eagles look unstoppable!
I know it's a different sport but this reminds me when, in College BBall, in 2008, all #1 seeds made the final 4. I know the Bungals were #3, but these are the four teams that should be here. And, it should be amazing! There will not be a bad matchup in the SB.
In order of preference of who I'd like to see in the SB is
1. Chefs vs 9ers
2. Chefs vs Philly
3. Bungals vs 9ers
4. Bungals vs Philly
Put some respect on the Bengals name man.
It's spelled Bengals
I just hope my Chiefs been watching some browns footage because they beat on Cincy frequently. We can definitely learn from them
Someone gotta prove to me that he’s not Phillip rivers 😂😂😂 nick
Love nicks loyalty and complete biases. Coming from patriots nation
I don’t always agree with nicks or Colin’s opinions but they have awesome chemistry. I love watching their segments together
Props to Nick for the semi-obscure Wire quote. The game is the game.
If mahomes wants to put a dent in this 0-3 record it would preferably need to be this Sunday.
It adds to the greatness of Mahomes to admit Allen’s greatness
The Bengals are in great shape in regards to the cap, they are near the top in available cap space. They can afford Burrow, Higgins, and Chase. The ones that may go will be Boyd and Mixon.
@Kevin Coggins I've been a Bengals fan probably longer than you have been alive, I know what position groups they historically pay and which ones they don't. QB/WR are positions they have always paid. The salary cap is about to explode with the new Amazon money and Cincy has always been a cap conscious team, so for someone like you who has no clue about the Bengals how can you tell me what they will do when I have followed them closely for nearly 40 years?
@carsonc29 you hit the nail on the head. That's a big reason why it's nice that KC has already gotten through most of that phase. They've lost some good and great players but have also done a solid job bringing in guys they can afford. Imo they have drafted really well the past few seasons too. Personally I want to contend every year, and that's what we have gotten so far!
@Dave no run game no victory
@David Robinson sure, im not saying the Bengals will go downhill..but right now, the guys they have are working..there is no way of knowing if guys they bring in will duplicate that...if the Bengals focus on D, their offense will probably slip a little bit..kinda like KCs has..they still score points, but not as explosive..also gotta consider KC will probably improve Bills will improve, Jags will improve ect...
@Kevin Coggins yep..ALL them dudes, even the ones who arent overly good are gonna cash out first chance they get...in 2 years, half the team gonna be different..and thats not "hate"..its just the realities of the modern day NFL..Burrow aint taking nothing less than 45 million a year..Chase aint taking nothing but top 3 WR $$..that right there is probably gonna cost them a few players alone..they will keep a select core of players, but the rest gonna be gone..how they replace those players will tell if they stay at tier 1 or slip...one day the Jags gonna have that issue as well..the Bills too, if it hasnt already happened...
The best sports segments I’ve seen in awhile. Hilarious!
If there is ever a guest I like seeing every week, it's Nick Wright.
The reality is, the offense will always have an advantage over the defense. I'm not sure if the 85 Bears or the 2000 Ravens will be as dominant if they play today.
That stat on coach/qb combo superbowls is an incredible stat i never thought about. Seriously never?
We believe in our guy even if they lose again.
The Fred Warner disrespect, man is literally the best backer in the league, he should be third on this list
I love how they’re acting like this is a mahomes injury season when he missed 1/2 a quarter of a game
Nick saying his prestan pick was 9ers V Chiefs. Well mine was Bengals v Eagles. So I guess this weekend we’ll see who was actually right😂😂
The key is the Chiefs D is a totally different animal compared to the previous 3 games.
they are gonna have to be..that pass rush needs to be on point..a OL full of back ups shouldnt be able to keep Burrow as clean as they did and open up the run lanes like they did
If the Bengals Oline can run and protect like they did last week it will be a long day for KC
Can’t wait to see Nick’s energy on Monday when the Chiefs lose.
Nick is the goat of sports talk…he quoted Marlo Stanfield from the wire off the rip.
No! MJ Acosta-Ruiz 👍 😍
Allen cannot be expected to be QB AND the team's best RB! Every time he takes off running I cringe. Look what happened to Mahomes this week! Someone landing on the QB's leg when in the wrong position changes everything! Totally nuts! Allen needs to get help he can count on!😗
the Eagles slightly favorites as long as Jalen Hurts is healthy, but the 49ers are a very good team
They said we wouldn’t be good this year either
Nick Wright just said the price of the brick is going up 😂
"The Arrowhead Invitational"
I guess were just going to ignore that it took a canceled game to gift the chiefs the number 1 seed
Yooo Nick is having sooo much fun with his hair. I still remember the shaved head that still looked balding. Now he is out here with the John Wick look. I love it.
Nick Wrights hair comeback story is a first ballot hall of famer
I’m taking Philadelphia -2.5 and Cincinnati +2.5. Who are you riding with today?
Wow, Mixon was a great guest! 👍
I love Nick! Start scheduling the parade my friend
I can’t wait to see Nick Wrights reaction after the eagles beat down the niners on Sunday lol😅
I hate when people say stuff like Mahomes is 0-3 against Burrow. I mean did they fight in a Ring? No, the chiefs are 0-3 against the Bengals while those two have been qb. There are 21 other positions. So disrespectfully to the other players.
As I chiefs fan I can confidently say the defense needs to force turnovers to win this game, without a doubt
and get a consistent pass rush..no reason for Burrow to have that much time to pass with 3 back ups in the OL
Nick is brilliant
Someone convinced nick to not be bald and he just took it way too far😂
Only a matter of time before Joey Cool gets his ring 😎
I’m just here to see my homeboy Nick!
I am a huge Niners fan but I do think that Andy Reid is the best Coach in football and maybe even the GOAT. We all used to think it was Belichick but after Brady we see that Brady is responsible for a majority of the credit.
@John Sievila I agree. Jones did finally admit last year it was the biggest mistake he ever made. He needs to hire a GM and give up control.
@Keegan O'Neil I think he would have been the GOAT is Jones didn’t make the dumbest decisions ever. The thing about Jerry is he says that no one can be bigger than the team and what he means is no one can be bigger than him which is why he fired Jimmy J. Worst move ever. That’s why Dallas will never get back to a SB while he is alive
What about Jimmy Johnson?
It was not just Ben not winning as much, the coaching was atrocious the end of nearly every year since Tebow. 2 play off wins in 12 years… half the time trying to back door into the playoffs.
Beautiful conversation 🎉
Lmao George kittle in the hall of fame 😂
Nick is so funny 😆
The Marlo reference 😎😂
S/o to Nick for The Wire reference 🔥
I’m eager for the eagers next season
Nick is in rare form, lol
Nick Wright's trolling of the bills is only second to Steven A trolling the cowboys
It wouldn't surprise me if the 49ers beat the Eagles. But I honestly think the Eagles should be favored to win. The biggest reason is because the most important position on a team is the quarterback position. Jalen Hurts has the capability to help win he's team games. Brock Purdy is a game manager at this point of he's career. The Eagles are playing in Philadelphia and have a solid defense themselves. The Eagles defense can get to the quarterback as good as Dallas can. The difference is the Eagles have better corners than Dallas. The Cowboys gave the 49ers a good game. Dak threw multiple interceptions helping the 49ers win that game. Jalen Hurts looks like a far better quarterback when healthy than Dak is. But with the 49ers it is a proven fact defense wins championships & the 49ers have the best defense in the NFL. Not to mention there offense has great position players on it that are capable of winning football games with very little help from the quarterback. The other game I have no reason to think with a injured Patrick Mahomes that they can beat the Bengals. Besides for maybe Andy Reid..
These two need to talk more than once a week
3:40 the arrowhead invitational so real lol
“Best safety in the league”😂😂 funniest joke I’ve heard all day
Agree 100%. He might be the worst.
Marlow Stamford reference was littly . Nick is an unwavering homer
I used to watch Stuart Scott and Dan patrick.. don't get me wrong. This isn't that but I'm watching Colin follow.. though he's the leader.. And I'm watching the kid really just prove he's a professional.
Well done.
Colin sign this kid up. Name the show Last take and broadcast every night.
Again nice work fellas
Oh lord I love This show; I regret I spent my to tune undisputed and first take. Here facts talk. Great job Collin.
