    Chiefs radio host Joshua Brisco

    The Chiefs opened the season with a statement 31–10 win over Denver, but what did we actually learn about this version of Kansas City? We’re joined by Joshua Brisco from Kansan City’s radio broadcasts to break down Patrick Mahomes’ return from injury, Kenneth Walker’s explosive debut and whether the Chiefs can build a more balanced ground game, plus an impressive defensive performance in the post-Trent McDuffie era. We also discuss Travis Kelce’s role at 37, the return of Eric Bieniemy as offensive coordinator and whether Kansas City really looks like the Chiefs of old, or if the biggest questions are still to come.
