KC Chiefs beat Denver Broncos, prep for NFL playoff opener Jan 09, 2022

Show notes

So the Chiefs did their part on Saturday, beating the Denver Broncos 28-24 at Empower Field at Mile High.

Up next, the playoffs.

The Chiefs will need to wait for Sunday’s games to conclude before they know an opponent and date for their playoff opener, though. They’ll definitely be keeping a close eye on one Sunday game — Titans at Texans — in particular. But games involving the Bills and Bengals will also factor in.

Join KC Star columnist Vahe Gregorian, Chiefs beat reporters Herbie Teope and Sam McDowell and sportswriter Pete Grathoff at about 9 p.m. tonight (Saturday) to discuss Saturday’s action and Sunday’s scenarios.

Why the stakes remain sky-high for Chiefs’ game at Cincinnati Dec 30, 2021

Show notes

The Chiefs clinched a playoff berth with last weekend’s resounding home victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

But they still have some unfinished business to take care of in Week 17, with a chance to clinch the conference’s No. 1 seed — and accompanying first-round bye — in the postseason.

On Thursday, Herbie Teope, fellow beat writer Sam McDowell and columnist Vahe Gregorian previewed the game and its implications in a year-end edition of The Star’s SportsBeat Live stream. Their conversation is presented here as a SportsBeat KC replay.

With a one-game lead for the top seed, the Chiefs (11-4) need a win to stay ahead of the Tennessee Titans (10-5) with the regular season coming to a close. The Chiefs could clinch that spot Sunday with a win and Titans loss.

Are Chiefs ready for Sunday afternoon’s showdown vs. Steelers? Dec 23, 2021

Show notes

The Chiefs, riding a seven-game winning streak, stand atop the AFC with a one-game lead for the No. 1 seed in the postseason.

Their hot streak could be in jeopardy because multiple players, including tight end Travis Kelce and wide receiver Tyreek Hill, remain on the NFL’s reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Arrowhead Stadium.

On Thursday, beat writers Herbie Teope and Sam McDowell sat down with columnist Vahe Gregorian to discuss this weekend’s game. Hear their conversation now on today’s episode of The Star’s SportsBeat KC podcast.

What awaits the Chiefs Sunday vs. Raiders, and beyond? Dec 10, 2021

Show notes

The Chiefs take on the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium with a chance to get their offense back on track.

Andy Reid’s team hammered the Raiders 41-14 last month in Las Vegas, so it’s reasonable to think that, in spite of their troubles on offense this season, the Chiefs have prime opportunity to work out some kinks in front of a friendly crowd.

The Star’s Sam McDowell, Vahe Gregorian and Sam Mellinger spent some of Red Friday discussing what’s ahead for the Chiefs on a SportsBeat Live stream, which we present here as a podcast.
