The week 1 GOTW was a great start to what will be an amazing season. A close game that saw a King return to his throne and a young G.O.A.T. remind the world that he is still here.
The back and forth game saw King Henry break tackle after tackle. To those who claimed he was washed, that game was for you. Here on out, the game-plan should be clear: Feed Henry. Lamar Jackson would throw some pretty questionable throws tonight and it cost them. I know it is week 1, but this is a terrible look for Lamar. He may never ever get the job done. But it’s not just on Lamar. Because with a tied score 21-21, instead of kicking the field goal, Coach Perez would surprisingly keep the offense on the field. And the play call following that was quickly blown up leading to a turnover on downs.
For the Chiefs, Mahomes would fire a deep ball dot to Worthy right after which would end up being the game-winning touchdown. We know how great a QB Mahomes is, but Worthy made his job a lot easier. To those who are anti-Chiefs, I advise you to not watch them play because it’s going to be a long season.
After the game, Coach Dalion had some words for the league, mainly towards the Raiders Head Coach. He would say that he doesn’t think anybody will be able to mess with the Chiefs and that the Raiders will be “light work”. He would even call Coach Isaiah an expletive. Not sure where this is all coming from, but I will be sure to give you all the info when I find out.
Nonetheless, what a day. Great commentary. Great game. And a little drama at the end.
