Chiefs Steve Spagnuolo on Building an Elite Defense, Bribing Andy Reid & Battling Brady | EP 143

92%ers welcome back another episode of New Heights, brought to you by our friends at Zillow! Home just got real. 

On today’s episode, we’ve got a guest Chiefs fans have been asking for for a long time, defensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs, Steve Spagnuolo, joins us today! 

Steve and the guys delve into everything from building a championship-winning defense to his thoughts on the Chiefs' draft class, the backstory of his decades-long relationship with Coach Reid, and his insights on the evolution of NFL offenses. 

We also get his take on Travis’ legendary INT, what it was like going up against the undefeated Patriots in the Super Bowl, which position is the hardest to game plan for, and so much more!
