    Injuries, flaws, whatever. How imperfect Chiefs maintain a perfect record

    In their last game, the Chiefs lost two more starters to injury and Patrick Mahomes scored the lowest passer rating game of his career. A recipe for disaster? Not at all. The Chiefs are coming off one of the best victories of the season, by 10 points at San Francisco. Star columnists Sam McDowell and Vahe Gregorian and beat writer Jesse Newell explain how a team that at times seems flawed continues to win. And what’s the upside for a team, which takes as 12-game winning streak into Sunday’s game at Las Vegas, still working out kinks? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Examining slow starts of Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, & oh, Chiefs are 3-0

    The Chiefs are having issues in the passing game. Patrick Mahomes seems a tick off. Travis Kelce isn’t getting open. The big plays aren’t there. Yet the Chiefs are the second highest scoring team in the AFC and take a 3-0 record into Sunday’s game at the Los Angeles Chargers. The rest of the NFL would love to have the Chiefs’ problems. On SportsBeat KC, The Star’s sports podcast and youtube program, beat writer Jesse Newell and columnists Sam McDowell and Vahe Gregorian discuss the issues with the Chiefs offense and how the defense has risen to the occasion, like the fourth-down stop by linebacker Nick Bolton to seal last weekend’s victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

    Playoffs remain likely for KC Royals but, race is tight. Can they finish?

    The math still favors the Royals making the MLB playoffs. With nine games left to play, they remain in possession of the second of three American League wild-card berths. But the race is getting tighter, and the Royals lug a four-game losing streak into their final home series of the season — which begins Friday against the San Francisco Giants. In this episode of SportsBeat KC, The Star’s sports podcast, beat writer Jaylon Thompson and columnist Vahe Gregorian assess the Royals’ postseason possibilities and what it will take to close the deal. The Royals’ turnaround this season — from 106 losses a year ago to clinching a winning record in 2024 — is already an amazing accomplishment. But to fall short of a playoff spot, after being in contention for several weeks, would be a gut-punch. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Chiefs battle hard to reach 2-0 but face hurdles ahead of first road game

    The Chiefs are 2-0 after their thrilling one-point victory over the Cincinnati Bengals last week, but they are not without concerns. Running back Isiah Pacheco is lost for an extended time with an ankle injury, and left tackle Kingsley Suamataia played so poorly last weekend he was benched. At running back, the Chiefs signed their former standout Kareem Hunt. We address why that might not be the best move We discuss those storylines and more on SportsBeat KC, The Star’s sports podcast, with beat writer Jesse Newell and columnists Vahe Gregorian and Sam McDowell.
