Some players are in line for firsts when the Chiefs meet the Jaguars in the AFC Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs on Saturday afternoon at GEHA Field at Arrowhead.

Chris Jones seeks his first playoff sack. Trevor Lawrence has never lost a Saturday game, in high school, college or pro football (37-0). Isiah Pacheco has never won a postseason football game at any level.

We discuss all of that and much more on SportsBeat KC, The Star’s daily sports podcast, with Chiefs beat writers Herbie Teope and Jesse Newell.

More talking points: The Chiefs are an 8 1/2-point favorite in a rematch of a regular-season game Kansas City won by 10. The weather could be a factor with a rain-snow mix in the forecast. And under Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs haven’t lost a playoff game in this round.
