Andy Reid has made a crucial decision about Patrick Mahomes with serious implications for many AFC teams as the Chiefs play against the Broncos. Patrick Mahomes will not play against the Denver Broncos because Andy Reid has decided to rest him before the start of the postseason.

Bender: "The Chiefs are planning to rest starters in Week 18, meaning Carson Wentz will get the start. That theoretically creates a path for the Broncos to clinch a playoff spot with Bo Nix. This is still an AFC West game, however, and Kansas City's defense will allow them to hang around. Denver is 4-0 S/U and 4-0 ATS in its past four home games.
