Game day has arrived, so let’s talk Chiefs.

In this episode of SportsBeat KC, The Kansas City Star’s daily sports podcast, rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire discusses the anticipation of his NFL debut. It’s interesting to hear what he expects from himself against the Houston Texans.

After a break, NFL Network talent checks in and talks about the Chiefs and the NFL’s opening weekend. Michael Irvin speaks to the challenges of repeating as Super Bowl champion. His Cowboys won three Super Bowls in four years in the 1990s. Kurt Warner comments on Patrick Mahomes, where the start quarterback goes from here and where he can improve.

Broadcaster Rich Eisen and former coach Steve Mariucci discuss the challenges of playing football in a COVID-19 world — empty or near-empty stadiums, pandemic fears, a bizzare offseason and more.
