He has already declared Mahomes and other major influences as starters Travis Kelce And Chris Jones will sit out and rest in their Week 18 game against the team Denver Broncos.
A game that means nothing to the Chiefs and everything to the Broncos.
If Denver wins, they’ll get in.
If they fail, they hope to get help elsewhere.
Mahomes will now go more than three weeks (about 25 days) without seeing a game until the divisional round of the playoffs.
