Like their fans, the Chiefs will be watching the AFC Wild Card playoff games on Saturday. The playoffs start the following week for the Chiefs. Which opponent would provide the best matchup among the Patriots, Texans or Bills? Star columnist Sam Mellinger and beat writers Herbie Teope and Sam McDowell discuss that and other Chiefs topics on a SportsBeat KC podcast that originated as a Facebook Live. Also, if you can take a former Chiefs player from the 2010s and add him to the current roster, who would that be?
