It’s Chiefs vs. Broncos on Sunday and Denver has a new coach. Jerry Rosburg, a longtime special teams coach in the NFL and the team’s director of game-management operations, was elevated earlier this week when Nathaniel Hackett was fired.

What should the Chiefs expect from an interim regime? That’s a topic on today’s SportsBeat KC podcast with Star columnists Vahe Gregorian and Sam McDowell and beat writers Herbie Teope and Jesse Newell.

The Broncos aren’t the only AFC West team that made a big change this week. The Las Vegas Raiders have changed quarterbacks, moving on from longtime starter Derek Carr. The Raiders are the Chiefs’ Week 18 opponent.

We also talk wide receivers with Mecole Hardman’s likely return, and how the Chiefs might handle the position group.
