Chiefs Rest Patrick Mahomes, Carson Wentz to Start Against Broncos

Kansas City coach Andy Reid confirms Wentz will lead the team in Week 18 as Mahomes and other starters prepare for the playoffs.

Carson Wentz will start for the Kansas City Chiefs in their Week 18 matchup against the Denver Broncos, with Patrick Mahomes resting ahead of the playoffs.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid expressed confidence in Wentz, stating the decision allows other players to grow while preparing for postseason play.
Wentz, a former Super Bowl champion and NFL MVP candidate, signed a one-year deal with the Chiefs in 2024 and has played sparingly this season.
Wide receiver Nikko Remigio praised his chemistry with Wentz, describing him as a capable quarterback who deserves a starting role in the league.
The Broncos, needing a win to secure a playoff spot, face a Kansas City team that has dominated their rivalry in recent years, winning 17 of the last 18 meetings.
