Patrick Mahomes took a rare game day off as the Kansas City Chiefs faced the Denver Broncos, resulting in a disheartening 38-0 loss. With the AFC's top seed already secured, the Chiefs viewed this game as inconsequential while preparing for the upcoming postseason. Carson Wentz stepped in for Mahomes, struggling to ignite the offense, which recorded only 98 yards and one third-down conversion.

Coach Andy Reid reflected on the necessity of gaining experience for younger players. The Chiefs' shutout marked their first since 2012. With postseason action on the horizon, Mahomes and the Chiefs remain focused on their goal of securing a third consecutive Super Bowl victory.
