After convincing victories like the one the Chiefs engineered in Week 4 at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, coaches look for nits to pick.

On today’s episode of The Star’s SportsBeat KC podcast, we give Chiefs coach Andy Reid a hand with that. Beat writers Herbie Teope and Jesse Newell, columnists Sam McDowell and Vahe Gregorian and host Blair Kerkhoff share the areas that, in their estimation, still need some attention.

With an eye on the Chiefs’ next game — against the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium — we discuss the progress of Kansas City’s rookie class, Patrick Mahomes and of course last weekend’s play-calling compared to what we saw when the Chiefs lost to the Colts a week prior.
