Patrick Mahomes is sitting out the Kansas City Chiefs' Week 18 game at Denver, so it'll be backup Carson Wentz who gets to face the NFL's best sack masters.

Patrick Mahomes will be rested for Kansas City’s last regular season game, with fellow Super Bowl champion Wentz waiting in the wings.

Jokes aside, Wentz's performance on the field was going to be the real audition. He signed a one-year, $3.325 million contract with Kansas City that expires at the end of the season. For the sake of his next contract, the former Super Bowl champion will hope that his start against the Broncos makes a better impression than his outfit.

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 quarterback Carson Wentz discussed whether rust was a factor in his uneven performance in the loss to the Denver Broncos.

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

Doug Pederson, whose offense scored 41 points against the greatest coach in football history while having a backup quarterback out there in Super Bowl LII, was fired by the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday. Pederson, who went 4-2 in the postseason with the Eagles during his five years in Philadelphia, lasted just three seasons with the Jags.
