SportsBeat KC: Chiefs heading in right direction, even if offense is slow to come along
The Chiefs, at 5-4, are one of nine AFC teams that have played nine games.
The first half of Kansas City’s season has been a disappointment, but the Chiefs still have eight games remaining, including five against division foes — starting with a Sunday Night Football trip to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders.
On today’s episode of The Star’s daily podcast, SportsBeat KC, beat writers Herbie Teope and Sam McDowell join columnists Sam Mellinger and Vahe Gregorian and host Blair Kerkhoff in previewing Sunday night’s game, starting with a Chiefs offense that has totaled just 36 points in the past three games.
