The Kansas City Chiefs clearly have had a great 2024 season.
Kansas City entered the 2024 National Football League season with high hopes after winning two straight Super Bowl titles. Clearly, the Chiefs still are among the best teams in football. Kansas City is 15-1 on the season with one more game left to go in the regular season.
The Chiefs will be resting their starters in the season finale which could end up being really good for one player. With Patrick Mahomes resting, former Pro Bowler Carson Wentz will get the start against the Denver Broncos.
He signed a one-year deal with the Chiefs to backup Mahomes and now will get a chance to show what he can do. Wentz was one of the best quarterbacks in football at one point but now he is a backup.
Wentz will hit free agency after the season and a solid performance on Sunday certainly could help his chances. CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin predicted that he will end up signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers to backup Russell Wilson.
“Carson Wentz signs with the Steelers as Russell Wilson’s new backup,” Benjamin said.
That’s a pretty fair idea. The Steelers landed Wilson and Justin Fields for this season, but it would be a shock if both were to return in 2025. If the Steelers keep one, they will need a new backup. Wentz could be that guy.
