KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Winners get the spoils in the NFL. First-round byes, stand-alone primetime windows and A crew announcers.

But when an NFL team loses 10 games, it gets the bottom of the totem pole. Even when the game could be the Travis Kelce swan song.

That’s the case for Chiefs fans this week. When the team wraps up the season in Las Vegas on Sunday (3:25 p.m. CT, CBS/KCTV, Channel 5, 96.5 The Fan), Chiefs fans will see CBS announcers they might need to Google.

But if fans don’t remember Kyle Long, the No. 20-overall selection in the 2013 NFL draft (the year Kansas City selected Eric Fisher No. 1 overall, they’ll certainly remember his dad.

The younger Long, who played his entire seven-year career with the Chicago Bears, will serve as the color commentator this week. His father is Howie Long, the Pro Football Hall of Famer who wreaked havoc for Chiefs quarterbacks during his career with the Raiders.

In 22 career games against the Chiefs, the Hall of Fame defensive end went 9-13 and piled up 12 sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

Long’s other son, Chris, was the No. 1-overall selection in the 2008 draft by the St. Louis Rams. He played for Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo from 2009-11.
