Listen to the story

The Kansas City Chiefs lost a game to the Seattle Seahawks. After the game, people talked about problems in the Chiefs team. Some writers listed five flaws, or weak points, in the team.

People now ask if other teams will copy Seattle's game plan. A game plan is the way a team plays to win. If the plan worked for Seattle, other teams may try it too.

Writers also ask which problems the Chiefs can fix. Some problems are easy to fix. Other problems are harder. Two players named in the story are Chris Jones and Harrison Butker.

Fans want to know if the Chiefs can get better before their next games. The team has time to practice and make changes.
