The Chiefs are in the middle of their regular season at the end of the political season. They’ve handled both well. The A-Team of Sam Mellinger, Vahe Gregorian, Sam McDowell and Herbie Teope discuss with host Blair Kerkhoff on SportsBeat KC, The Star’s daily sports podcast.

Also, the Chiefs are getting contributions from several rookies, and that was perhaps a bit unexpected given all the returning starters from KC’s Super Bowl squad. Who has been stepping up in in a big way? One is an undrafted rookie.
