The expected blowout was delivered. The Chiefs knocked out the New York Jets 35-9 on Sunday and just about everything was humming, starting with Patrick Mahomes. His five touchdown passes and 414 passing yards ranking among his career best. But he wasn’t the only Chiefs player to complete a pass. Two others did, including punter Tommy Townsend.

The Star’s A-Team of Herbie Teope, Sam McDowell, Vahe Gregorian and Sam Mellinger joined SportsBeat Live host Blair Kerkhoff for a postgame conversation, now a SportsBeat KC podcast. You’ll also hear the postgame interviews of Mahomes and Townsend.
