How will KC Chiefs handle left tackle in regular-season finale and playoffs? Podcast

The Chiefs emerged from the most difficult portion of their schedule playing their best football.

Three games in 11 days meant three victories in impression fashion — which allowed Kansas City to clinch the AFC’s No. 1 seed for the postseason.

On SportsBeat KC, The Star’s sports podcast, columnists Sam McDowell and Vahe Gregorian join beat writer Jesse Newell in discussing the impressive stretch and what it means for the Chiefs going forward.

Up next: Sunday’s regular-season finale in which starters like Patrick Mahomes are likely to sit, and then the playoffs.

Another big question: How will Andy Reid handle left tackle? Will Joe Thuney remain there, having moved from guard, or could newly acquired D.J. Humphries be healthy enough to play?

Check out this week’s podcast.
