Super Bowl week has arrived, and we’re kicking it off with a SportsBeat KC podcast.

Star columnists Sam Mellinger and Vahe Gregorian joined beat writer Sam McDowell and host Blair Kerkhoff, along with viewers of this SportsBeat Live program, in breaking down the Chiefs’ game Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

How will the reworked Chiefs offensive line perform? How big is the Bucs’ home-field advantage? Does Tampa Bay present a bigger challenge to the Chiefs than last year’s Super Bowl opponent, the San Francisco 49ers?

Follow the Super Bowl coverage all week in the pages of The Star, on KansasCity.com, via the SportsBeat KC podcast and Friday’s Mellinger Minutes for Your Ears, as well as loads of video produced by The Star’s super production team.
