The Chiefs know how to make things interesting, don’t they? They fell behind 10-0 and lost the fourth quarter 17-3. But their 30-0 advantage in the second and third quarters added up to a six-point victory and 12-1 record for the first time in franchise history.

Oh, and have we mentioned their fifth straight AFC West championship?

The A-Team of Sam McDowell, Herbie Teope, Sam Mellinger and Vahe Gregorian joined SportsBeat Live host Blair Kerkhoff and the audience to assess what was assuredly the worst quarter in Patrick Mahomes’ career, big plays by the defense and special teams, and what it means to be division champions yet again.
