Another excellent Chiefs defensive effort, this one with a highlight moment | Podcast
In beating the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, the Chiefs improved to 7-0. Patrick Mahomes passed for a pair of touchdowns, including his first this season to Travis Kelce. Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins made his Chiefs debut with a pair of receptions.
But the story of this game, once again, was the defense. This one came with a highlight: a goal-line stand late in the third quarter with the outcome in the balance.
On SportsBeat KC, The Star’s sports podcast, columnists Sam McDowell and Vahe Gregorian and beat writer Jesse Newell break down the game, look ahead to Monday’s contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and consider what it means to have an Andy Reid-coached team identified largely by its defense.
