It looks like Patrick Mahomes will have the week off in the Kansas City Chiefs regular season finale against the Denver Broncos. And with that, Carson Wentz will get the start for the Kansas City Chiefs against a team that is looking to get into the playoffs.
And it might be his last chance to show what he's capable of in a Chiefs uniform based on what head coach Andy Reid had to say.
“Listen, I’m one of his (Carson Wentz) biggest fans, so I liked him coming out, I liked what he did before he was banged up there in Philly (Philadelphia) and I liked what I saw last year from him for sure with his start with the Rams. I like what I’ve seen here which is – I’m glad I’ve had the opportunity to see him here," Reid said. "Selfishly, I’d like to keep him, but I don’t think that’s going to be possible.
"He should be starting in the league somewhere. That’s what he should be doing by his ability and the way he goes about his business. He’s so structured and disciplined that – his study habits and work (ethic), you know, all of those things are just top notch.”
This season, Wentz has only appeared in two games with two completions for 20 yards. However, Reid sees a lot more behind the scenes.
And because of that, he thinks that a team should take a chance on Wentz, bringing him back as the starter. So, with a big performance on Sunday, he can prove that he deserves that opportunity.
We'll just have to wait and see what happens in the offseason.
