SportsBeat KC: Chiefs are AFC West champs again. Now what? Broncos arrive Lock-ed in

The Chiefs are AFC West champs again, but three weeks remain in the regular season, starting with Sunday’s home game against Denver. With one goal down, the Chiefs can’t begin to pursue their second — playoff success — until next month.

How will the Chiefs play it? And look who is leading the Broncos’ offense: former Missouri and Lee’s Summit High quarterback Drew Lock. He’s making his third NFL start this weekend, and the Chiefs hope to hand him his first loss.
