Podcast: Big win, ugly hit, milestone sack and TD worthy of a Toney covered in Chiefs podcast
The possibility of a defeat for a team that loses the turnover battle by three, falls victim to an opening onside kick and misses an extra point has to be high. But the Chiefs also did many things well in defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars, 27-17, on Sunday.
We unpacked most of it on The Star’s postgame show, SportsBeat Live, which you’ll hear today presented as a podcast. Columnists Sam McDowell and Vahe Gregorian along with beat writer Herbie Teope broke down the game that helped extend the Chiefs’ lead in the AFC.
Patrick Mahomes’ four touchdown passes, the play of new wide receiver Kadarius Toney, Carlos Dunlap’s 100th career sack and the dangerous hit absorbed by JuJu Smith-Schuster that didn’t draw a penalty were primary topics for the show.
What we didn’t cover and will save for Thursday’s SportsBeat Live: The Chiefs didn’t commit a penalty for the fourth time in franchise history, the superb play of Chris Jones and Sunday’s game marked the first time the Jaguars haven’t led in a game this season.
