>> cris: we talk about the fact that marsh has been here for five days and just got beat for that touchdown. phillip dorsett has been here about three days. you wonder how much of this offense that he could know. >> al: traded jacoby brissett over there for him. to indianapolis. third and two. brady gets the pass to white. slip move and very close to a first down. each side looks at it with their heart and not their eye. looks like where they spotted the ball they are going to be short. we have an interesting decision here if they are short. so vinovich calls time. they will bring the chains in. but it looks to us like they are half a yard shy. that is about the length of the football. belichick wants to get the right personnel in. >> cris: there are a lot of teams belichick has coached that he might punt the football in this situation and let his defense make a stand. but with the injuries now and the key injury to hightower. i can't emphasize enough what that would mean. i think belichick decided we have to go offense for offense here because we are going to have a tough time trying to stop them with the lack of experience for us defensively. >> al: and lining up and trying to just draw them offside. we will see. solder eligible. develin the fullback. brady handing it off. this is going to be close. >> cris: i don't think so. >> al: right on the mark. for the moment it does not look like he is going to get it. wait until they put the ball down. it will be just about in that same spot. >> cris: another fourth down stop for the kansas city chiefs. >> al: big. huge. >> cris: you have to give credit to wilson. he took out the lead back on this one. >> al: if anything he lost yardage. >> cris: that was some play by number 53, wilson. man, this building is in a state of disbelief. >> al: 12:21 left in regulation. oh josh, josh you literally just posted an image that say's i'm better than dez bryant. i'm a tornado of coverage, i've out sprinted cheetahs. oh dez where are you? you're choking on my dust. you wish you were as cool, as handsome, as fast. with its high-tech the cameras and radar... contemporary cockpit... 360 degree network of driver-assist technologies... and sporty performance... what's most impressive about the glc? all depends on your point of view. the 2018 glc. starting at $40,050. mercedes-benz. the best or nothing. we spent weeks canvassing the sthe quadranttense. to pinpoint our perfect location. once locked in on our target, we knew we had to move fast. fortunately, we were already pre-approved for a no money down loan with navy federal credit union, and were able to put an offer on this place immediately after it went on the market. i see you dad! how are my tomatoes doing, babe? ah, pretty good. navy federal credit union open to the armed forces, the dod, veterans, and their families. >> al: well, a lot of the guys on that defense have made big plays tonight. how about that one by the veteran linebacker justin houston. so gillislee gets stopped on fourth down. the second time that happened tonight. that gives the chiefs the ball at the 40 yard line. smith oh. hill gets up-ended as the ball got there. that is harmon, the hard-hitting safety. second and ten. back to houston's play now. >> cris: there we go. here is wilson right here and justin houston is going to split the gap. not allow nate solder to push him forward. that is all that it is. but the play was really designed to go right behind the fullback, james develin. but wilson took him out opening it up for justin houston. >> al: second and ten. smith has thrown four touchdown passes tonight. fake toss and keeps it. gets to the 42 yard line. third down. >> cris: i am not really sure why alex smith did not flip that ball. he had pretty good blocking out in front. now for matt patricia they need a stop. they don't have that pass rushing threat on the field. so maybe they drop eight here. >> al: third and eight. deanthony thomas flanking smith in the backfield. four-man rush. smith over the middle. that is caught. but the tackle is made shy of the 50 on kelce. that is devin mccourty making a big play. forcing a punt. >> cris: boy, what a play by mccourty. he had his guy out in the flat and he got his head around. here he comes. he beats his man badly. there was confusion on that side and mccourty with the presentation to make that stop. that is a tough man to bring down in the open field. >> al: the chiefs keep their offense out there for the moment. the punt group came in for new england and now the regular group is back. you have a lineman in there as a fullback. are they going to just try to draw them offside? that looks to be the case right now and it is. the play clock expires. figured they would take a shot at drawing new england offside. that does not work and the punting group will come in a moment. >> referee: delay of game, offense number 11. five-yard penalty. still fourth down. >> cris: devin mccourty really has made big plays for this patriots' defense. he is the star power. you look at who is left up front. we are so used to the ninkovich, hightower, even jamie collins. you know, making those kinds of plays. now you have to sort it out and say who is it. who is going to be the guy. trey flowers? >> al: patrick chung goes back instead of amendola right now to return the kick. he will call for and make a fair catch at the 12 yard line. we go to the field and michele. >> michele: you saw chung taking the punt. that is because danny amendola went back to the locker room. followed by the trauma consultant indicating that he is in the concussion protocol. he has two known concussions in his history and amendola told me before the game he wanted to be in on every snap of this game. partly to honor julian edelman, his very good friend. >> al: that's big. maybe it happened on this punt return. we will see if we spot something. looks like he took a knee from frank zombo in the head and the ball came loose. they are down to chung who at the start of training camp would have been their fourth punt returner. >> cris: now they are really limited at the wide receiver position, which is why we saw dorsett in the game. what do you do now offensively? the same way defensively their hands are tied, now josh mcdaniels has that issue on the offensive side. now he has to come out with two tight ends where you would want to see tom brady wanting to spread it out. >> al: malcolm mitchell is not available. this is burkhead taking it out to the 30 yard line. rex burkhead, four years in cincinnati with the bengals. he picks up a first down. >> cris: yeah. he was a guy that averaged 4 1/2 yards per carry in cincinnati, but just did not get many opportunities. this stretch zone play we are talking about so much in the league right now. wherever he feels good about it, that is where you go. >> al: now amendola officially ruled out of the game. what they call a head injury. he is out. dorsett is in. on first down brady will go deep down the field into coverage. that is incomplete. chris hogan the intended receiver is blanketed. second and ten. >> cris: i tell you who has played a great game out here tonight for kansas city as well, marcus peters. they took one shot at him and had nothing. i think this is where if it goes to form you will see the running backs start playing a much bigger role in the offense. all of them are very good receivers. all of them can win one-on-one. that is what the kansas city chiefs are giving them now. >> al: in the super bowl white caught 14 passes. brady dancing. finding room behind the line of scrimmage this time and nobody open. gronkowski deep downfield. it will be third down and ten. >> cris: sometimes the toughest move are these ones inside for offensive linemen. it looked like nate solder might lose dee ford for a minute but he stayed right with him the whole way through. >> al: third and ten. k.c. up by one. a little over 9:00 to play. >> cris: one spot they had success is against phillip gaines in the slot. >> al: brady throws and that is caught, no. incomplete. it would have been short of the first down anyway. terrance mitchell covering brandin cooks. it is fourth down. allen comes in to make his fourth punt of the night. >> cris: toe on the line. good call. he would have been short anyway. and it came out. >> al: on top of that pretty good play. tyreek hill is back to return the kick. something that he loves to do. fields at the 33 yard line. avoids a couple of tackles and gets it out to the 41 yard line. less than 9:00 to go and k.c. up by a point. use labor day bonus cash to get a total value of eleven thousand- six hundred dollars on this silverado all star. or, get 0% financing for 72 months

tonight. this is his seventh. a lot of times guys with 300-yard passing games, they are catching up. in those games is 2-4. here is hill. smith will add about ten more to that total. he is having a big night. completion percentage is great. smith now 328 yards, four touchdowns. >> cris: and defensively now for matt patricia he is definitely having to get creative at this point. we are seeing a look here they used in the preseason. jordan richard, the safety in there playing the linebacker position. you would think that alex smith would start running the football against that. >> al: second and one. smith now in the pistol. hands it off to the rookie, hunt. elusive. he looks good out to the 44. met by gilmore. hunt now 12 carries for 78 yards, averaging 6 1/2 per tote. >> cris: he has got a little stiff-arm too. right to the facemask there. lawrence guy. al, that is what we saw in college too. 98 times he forced missed tackles a season ago. dalvin cook, those were one and two in college football. >> al: hunt. 94 receiving yards. they will swing it to the outside. hunt. we started the night there. they were craze. roger goodell shows up on the field before the game. they boo him like crazy for about a minute. you know, the commissioner said he would show up. no problem. >> cris: tyreek hill, definitely has a little something going here. i thought on that punt return that he did a little something. he limped off of the field. i did not think much of it at the time but clearly that is a factor. >> al: second and six at the 40 yard line. smith throws. open is conley. he has been quiet tonight until now. first down at the 15 yard line. only his second catch of the night. >> cris: alex smith has been afforded unbelievable protection so far in this game. three-man rush again. pretty easy. watch the throws he is making. on the two deep throws so often it is easy when a guy is wide open, just be careful and underthrow him a bit. alex smith has been aggressive tonight and right on the money. >> al: you saw hill on the sideline. west in the backfield. the play clock at 3. smith rolls away and the pass gets deflected. second down and ten. >> cris: yeah. it was interesting talking to andy reid. i asked him what he took from the super bowl, from watching the super bowl. he said number one, never take your foot off of these guys if you get them down at all because tom brady is capable of doing anything. you have seen, on this drive, he has been very aggressive. bill belichick looks like one of those managers in the 14th inning of a baseball game trying to figure out who is left on the roster. >> al: they are working on hill on the sideline. you can see him being attended to. second and ten. smith. throws. caught inside the 10 yard line. albert wilson takes it to the 4. so, eight different guys have caught smith's passes tonight, 28 out of 35. >> cris: they are being forced to stay with this three-man rush. trey flowers got a little pressure but you can see the mobility of alex smith coming in to play. you just wonder how many play calls on that sheet matt patricia can call right now with this group of guys in here that he could not have been anticipating that this would be his defense in the fourth quarter. >> al: first and goal from the 4. taking as much off of the clock as they can and smith calls a time-out with 5:19. you know cris, you think about kansas city and people forget how good they were last year. they started out 2-2. great comebacks early in the season against san diego and midseason against carolina. but this is a team that lost two regular season games and the playoff game. each of them by two points. >> cris: you think that they lost the playoff game to pittsburgh without giving up a touchdown. six field goals in that game. this is a team that earned its way into the spotlight. they are going to be on national television a lot this season. i talked about it at the beginning of the show. they are kind of counterpunchers. you make a big play, you look terrible and then they take a shot and get something going. but we have not seen alex smith, maybe other than a playoff game or two have big games. this is as well as i have seen him play. >> al: 80% completion, 368 through the air. first and goal. out of the gun. the toss to hunt. tries to get in the end zone and they rule it a touchdown. does he cross the plane. >> cris: he lost it but after he crossed the goal line. >> al: at least that is the call on the field. >> cris: let's take a look. he is going to extend the ball and the play is over right there. >> al: across the plane, they review it. they should uphold it. >> cris: crazy, isn't it. >> al: the storylines in this game are amazing. >> cris: one more now. tyreek hill, going off the other direction towards the locker room limping off. we have a star is born in kareem hunt. there is tyreek hill there. you can see he is uncomfortable. >> al: the only good news for kansas city is that with the game on thursday they will get ten days off until they meet philadelphia at arrowhead. santos to make it an eight-point game and he does. 456 total yards tonight for the kansas city chiefs who lead it 35-27 in foxborough. now use labor day bonus cash to get four-thousand dollars total cash allowance on most chevy traverse models. or, get 20% below msrp on select 2017 chevy

in the nfl. good schedule. a good slate sunday. there are the games. raiders at the titans. good luck to our friend tony romo working with our friend jim nantz in that one. falcons/bears in sunday. we will see the falcons week two on sunday night. sunday night we will have the giants and the cowboys. from the 25 yard line. tom brady. out of the gun with the empty backfield. collapsing around him and swallowed up by justin houston. so, houston had a big play in the last drive. a big sack here knocking him down. that is the first sack of the night for the chiefs. >> cris: going after the guy i talked about early on, marcus cannon. for justin houston, that is what we have seen him do a lot. >> al: here is what they don't want to see. you will see it in a second. eric berry is down on the field. he had a tremendous night. one of the best obviously in the league. he signed a long-term rich contract. we go to michele. >> michele: the update on tyreek hill is that he has cramps in that right thigh and he is probable to return. we will see what is up with eric berry. >> al: yeah. that is the deal right now. there he is. he has had a big night. >> cris: i will tell you what, al, the one thing that everybody talks about enough in these opening games is that you don't play. in preseason you play a half at most and you get out here and this is uncharted territory here. >> al: berry is on gronkowski. you don't know if it is a cramp or the turf monster. edelman got hurt in detroit on a noncontact play. just caught his leg in the turf. so the crowd is really still at the moment with a second down and 17 when play resumes. of course eric berry, the story well known about conquering lymphoma. he came back and his life appeared to be in jeopardy. he was in atlanta, he thought he was going to die. he made it back. the comeback player of the year. and they are still working on him with a little less than 5:00 to play here. we don't just want to watch games cable gives us. we

dependability awards for cars, trucks and suvs - two years in a row. that's amazing. you want something that's dependable. that's the whole point. yeah! >> al: on the right there the general manager of the kansas city chiefs. he has got a situation he has to think of because they have taken eric berry to the locker room on a cart. that is bad news obviously for kansas city. eric murray, number 21. you saw the second year safety out of minnesota coming in. berry has been covering gronkowski tonight will tom go that way now. he is hit from behind as he throws and goes deep down the field. contact there but all incidental and no flag. brady barely got it away. third down and 17. michele, what do you know? >> michele: it is an achilles injury for eric berry. being carted off was not a good sign. >> al: a really bad sign. they stood him up in the commercial break. you said you don't take a guy off in a cart with a cramp. >> cris: when you saw him flexing the heel i was afraid of that. >> al: third and 17. brady going deep down the field and it is broken up. what a play by terrance mitchell, intended for cooks. fourth and 17. brady goes deep twice on second and long and third and long and can't connect. >> cris: mitchell looks like he is beaten. it is a good throw, over the top and waves and misses with the first arm and strips down with the second. unbelievable. >> al: what a play. ryan allen gets the kick away. they have deanthony thomas to run it back. fields at the 29. gets around the corner. turns it into a nice run back all the way out to the 47 yard line with 4:15. a flag is down now back at the 30. already 14 accepted penalties against kansas city tonight. normally in a place where you are going to get illegal contact. >> referee: during the return, illegal block in the back, receiving team number 51. ten-yard penalty from the spot of the foul. first down. >> al: frank zombo. costly night for both teams. hightower out with an injury and danny amendola with a knee and now we will have to find out about berry. now they are looking at peters. their all-pro corner rubbing his calf. a war of attrition here on opening night here in new england. on a cool night, basically 60 degrees right now. no wind. >> cris: you are so afraid to play these guys because you don't want to get them hurt in preseason. but opening day or opening night. it will be worse on sunday because you have to deal a lot more with the heat. >> al: so new england in a situation where they will start to think about taking their time-outs on defense. they have three plus the two-minute warning. here is the rookie, hunt. hunt down the sideline. kareem hunt being chased and will be forced out of bounds by mccourty who saves the touchdown. you can't make this stuff up. the guy that never fumbled in toledo. never. fumbles in his first carry. off to the races tonight. 140 rushing yards on 14 attempts. >> cris: watch these tight ends blocking on the edge. down, down, around and a great block on the outside by kelce to get the edge. and what kind of debut for kareem hunt. here comes kelce out in front. in space. we talked about it earlier. malcolm butler on the ground. gives you the fist up sign. there you go. >> al: handoff to west. west breaks free and into the end zone he goes for a touchdown. charcandrick west. >> al: that is 535 yards tonight against matt patricia's defense. >> cris: it is not a defense right now. that is the problem. they have a lot of different moving parts. and there is just confusion. great block in there on van noy. and back-to-back runs like that against the new england patriots. this is not new england's defense. >> al: not even close. santos. gets ready to make it a 14-point game. >> cris: remember what kansas city did to them in kansas city. >> al: absolutely.
