It’s a TV remote weekend for the Chiefs as the NFL playoffs commence. As the top seed in the AFC bracket, the Chiefs will watch games instead of playing in one. That happens in the Divisional Round the following weekend.

So as the Chiefs flip around the games, who would they want to play next week? That’s our primary topic on today’s SportsBeat KC with beat writers Herbie Teope and Jesse Newell, along with columnist Vahe Gregorian.

We also discuss the rise of running back Jerick McKinnon and what that means for Clyde Edwards-Helaire — and with 10 regular seasons in the books for Andy Reid as KC’s head coach, we chat about the best players to suit up for Big Red. Who are your top five Chiefs of the past decade?

Also, we now know if it’s Chiefs-Bills in the AFC Championship Game, the contest will be played at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Jan. 29 at 6 p.m.
