Kansas City #Chiefs quarterback Carson Wentz reflects on his Week 18 performance: ‘I didn’t play my best’ | @EdEastonJr

Although Wentz had a rough outing to close out the regular season, he believes the experience could come in handy come playoff time.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has given his thoughts on how Carson Wentz fared in the loss to the Denver Broncos.

Stirring the hopes of Philadelphia fans that the franchise might finally be en route to winning its first Super Bowl, Carson Wentz that season threw for 33 touchdowns and 3,296 yards with just seven interceptions. He stoked the Eagles to an 11-2 start on his way to finishing third in NFL MVP voting.

The Chiefs will start backup Carson Wentz at quarterback on Sunday in Denver in a game that means nothing to Kansas City, which has already clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs, but could mean everything to the Broncos.

The Kansas City Chiefs are set to give starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes some much-needed time off in Week 18 as the team prepares for the AFC playoffs later this month. Veteran signal-caller Carson Wentz is set to see his first meaningful action under center

There was a slight change in the Chiefs’ quarterback room. Daniel followed Pederson to the Eagles, and that left a roster opening. The Chiefs turned to veteran quarterback Nick Foles to fill the void. Foles made three appearances and one start.

That something special is a three-peat, and the Chiefs are in a superb position to make a deep playoff run. With the No. 1 seed in their back pocket, the Chiefs, if everything goes smoothly, will have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs until they play in the Super Bowl.

The Chiefs should be healthy and rested as they set their sights on an unprecedented third straight Lombardi Trophy in earnest this week.
