Chiefs-Ravens on Monday Night Football in Week 3? Yes, please.

The top two AFC contenders meet in a showdown matching the previous two NFL MVPs, Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson, and we’re here to take a first look via SportsBeat KC, The Star’s daily sports podcast, with host Blair Kerkhoff and columnists Sam Mellinger and Vahe Gregorian.

The Chiefs have defeated the Ravens in each of the previous two season, both times at a packed Arrowhead Stadium. This one will be contested in an empty stadium at Baltimore. Both teams are 2-0 and share a common opponent in the Houston Texans.

What are the keys to victory, who needs to step up and how will this one go? Vahe and Sam begin to answer those questions.
