Chiefs

Could these Kansas City Chiefs be better than last year’s Super Bowl champs? | Podcast

The Chiefs are off to a 6-1 start and have basic offensive and defensive numbers that rank among the NFL’s best. So, how does this team stack up to last year’s Super Bowl champion?

Columnist Vahe Gregorian’s response on SportsBeat KC, The Star’s sports podcast, might surprise you. We talk about how the position groups compare between seasons, and what this season’s improved defense means for the Chiefs’ long term prospects.

Also, we look at this week’s opponent, the Denver Broncos. The Chiefs not only have won 16 straight in the series, they haven’t lost in Denver since 2014. We put the Chiefs’ dominance of the rivalry in historic context.
