The Chiefs announced that quarterback Chad Henne will start in the season finale against the Chargers this Sunday.
The decision to bench Patrick Mahomes is because Kansas City solidified the No. 1 seed in the AFC with their victory over the Falcons last weekend, which means that the team does not have anything to play for.
Henne, who’s in his 11th season, will start his first game since the 2014 campaign when he played for the Jaguars. The 35-year old has gone 7-of-11 passing for 59 yards in six games since his last start.
Besides Mahomes, coach Andy Reid will probably rest a handful of other key players on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball.
Los Angeles is looking to end the regular season with their fourth-straight victory, so the probability of that happening with the majority of the Chiefs’ starters not playing is high.
