This week we start with two points about the Chiefs, hitting on the two of the people that Chiefs fans are thinking and talking about the most right now.

The questions are about Chris Jones, the future of the Chiefs’ defense, whether this is an over-my-dead-body game for Patrick Mahomes and how changes in the media business affect how I’m able to communicate with you.

The bonus section is with the coordinators, where I try to help translate what they’re saying into English. This is true service journalism.
