SportsBeat KC podcast: Why the stakes remain sky-high for Chiefs’ game at Cincinnati
The Chiefs clinched a playoff berth with last weekend’s resounding home victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
But they still have some unfinished business to take care of in Week 17, with a chance to clinch the conference’s No. 1 seed — and accompanying first-round bye — in the postseason.
On Thursday, Herbie Teope, fellow beat writer Sam McDowell and columnist Vahe Gregorian previewed the game and its implications in a year-end edition of The Star’s SportsBeat Live stream. Their conversation is presented here as a SportsBeat KC replay.
With a one-game lead for the top seed, the Chiefs (11-4) need a win to stay ahead of the Tennessee Titans (10-5) with the regular season coming to a close. The Chiefs could clinch that spot Sunday with a win and Titans loss.
