Chiefs podcast: How it fell apart in Super Bowl LIX & who will (and won’t) be back

A game in the Big Easy was nothing of the sort for the Kansas City Chiefs.

They dropped Super Bowl LIX to the Philadelphia Eagles 40-22 and were never part of the game. How did this happen, and what’s next for the Chiefs?

On SportsBeat KC, The Star’s sports podcast, beat writer Jesse Newell, columnist Vahe Gregorian and sportswriter Pete Grathoff break down the action, starting where it all went wrong for the Chiefs.

With free agency possibly having a major impact on next season’s roster — plus a decision by Travis Kelce about his future — the Chiefs could have a different look next year.

Check out this week’s podcast.
