Mahomes will rest in Week 17, Henne gets start vs. Chargers

The Kansas City Chiefs will rest quarterback Patrick Mahomes and start Chad Henne in the regular-season finale Sunday versus the Los Angeles Chargers, the team announced.

The Chiefs have already clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC, giving them a bye through Wild Card Weekend. Kansas City has earned three byes in as many seasons since installing Mahomes as the primary starter.

Mahomes will wrap up the 2020 season with 4,740 yards, 38 touchdowns, and six interceptions. The 25-year-old leads the league in passing yardage and trails only Aaron Rodgers in touchdown passes.

Henne is in his second season with the Chiefs. The signal-caller hasn't started an NFL game since 2014 when he was playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
