Should KC panic about Chiefs’ playoff hopes? Plus big shakeup at KC Current

With consecutive losses, the Chiefs have hit a rough patch. Can they work free or are they stuck?

On SportsBeat KC, the sports podcast of The Kansas City Star and KCUR, beat writer Pete Sweeney breaks down where things stand with the Chiefs coming off the loss in Denver and having to face another division leader this weekend in the Indianapolis Colts.

Also, a shakeup at the Current since falling in its NWSL playoff opener included Vlatko Andonovski, the coach who guided the organization’s most successful regular season. Where did he land? Soccer correspondent Daniel Sperry discusses the Current’s moves and how Sporting KC can benefit from MLS’s decision to switch its playing calendar to align with major European leagues.
