Watch: Chiefs-Ravens preview with The Star’s A-Team on SportsBeat Live

After all other teams have played this weekend, the NFL will shift to one game Monday night: Chiefs at Ravens. It’s a meeting between last year’s top regular-season team — the Ravens were the AFC’s top seed — and the Super Bowl champion Chiefs.

So many story lines: MVP quarterbacks in Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson, like-minded coaches in Andy Reid and John Harbaugh, and great expectations this season for both teams.

The Kansas City Star’s A-Team of Sam Mellinger, Vahe Gregorian, Herbie Teope and Sam McDowell break down the game. Who has the edge and why and what the outcome will mean going forward. Oh, and in a tribute to the amazing Gale Sayers, who died this week, the group comes up with their favorite sports moves. Remember Brian’s Song?
