Why Chiefs’ victory over Tennessee Titans still nags at me: SportsBeat KC podcast

Tell me I’m wrong to believe that Chiefs fans should be more concerned about last weekend’s victory over the Tennessee Titans than the team’s more-hyped loss to the Buffalo Bills.

We start today’s SportsBeat KC podcast there with Kansas City Star sports columnist Sam McDowell and beat writers Herbie Teope and Jesse Newell.

But there’s plenty more than just that to discuss as the Chiefs play host to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Head coach Andy Reid will be taking on a former assistant coach, Jags head coach Doug Pederson, and we break down the Chiefs’ assortment of running backs, examining why it’s been difficult for them to gain traction at times this season.

Today’s show started as a SportsBeat Live broadcast, and several audience members weighed in with good questions — like the locker-room impact of Ronald Jones Jr. asking for a trade, and the slow progress of rookie wide receiver Skyy Moore.
