ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Many of the Kansas City Chiefs have rushed to the defense of their former offensive coordinator, Eric Bieniemy, after word came out that some of the Washington Commanders were concerned about the intensity he has brought to their team. Bieniemy left Kansas City after last season’s Super Bowl title to become offensive coordinator on Commanders coach Ron Rivera’s staff. Rivera let it slip that some members of the Commanders were concerned about Bieniemy’s style. But several Chiefs, including Patrick Mahomes, say that their old coach is only trying to get the best out of his players.
