Countdown to the showdown in Baltimore continues as the Chiefs and Ravens continue working toward their Monday Night Football encounter. On this episode of SportsBeat KC, The Star’s daily podcast, Patrick Mahomes talks about the game and looks back to last weekend’s victory against the Los Angeles Chargers.

You’ll hear Mahomes and later Chiefs coach Andy Reid give a shoutout to Royals outfielder Alex Gordon, who announced his retirement from baseball Thursday after 14 seasons in Kansas City.

Also, we get the Ravens’ perspective from Nestor Aparicio of WNST in Baltimore. He’s covered the city’s sports scene for decades as a newspaper reporter and radio host. Nobody loves Baltimore, the city, more than Aparicio.
