There is still one game left in the regular season, and with nothing to gain and everything to lose, precisely who plays and who doesn\u2019t will be a hot topic this week.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Mahomes will be the most obvious player at the center of that discussion. Having played through an ankle sprain, the All-Pro has a good chance of getting 100 percent healthy before attacking the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>And he\u2019s planning on playing in Week 18 against the Denver Broncos unless he\u2019s tapped on the shoulder and told to sit.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s completely up to coach, I\u2019ll prepare regardless either way,\u201d Mahomes said. \u201cDenver, it\u2019s probably going to be a playoff team regardless, so I\u2019m going to prepare for them like I\u2019m going to start, and if coach wants me to go out there and play, I\u2019ll go out there and play. If he doesn\u2019t, I\u2019ll sit back. I have full trust that coach Reid knows what he\u2019s doing, and he\u2019s done it for a long time.\u201d<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5599\" src=\"http:\/\/usaglobe24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Screenshot_20241227-213803-300x193.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usaglobe24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Screenshot_20241227-213803-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/usaglobe24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Screenshot_20241227-213803.jpg 528w\" alt=\"Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes Prepares to Play Week 18 vs. Broncos\" width=\"300\" height=\"193\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It will be a fascinating watch to see how the Chiefs play it in Week 18, and with a first-round bye achieved, if players do sit against Denver, it will be a few weeks between games, so there could be an element of rust that might.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1641583\" data-uid=\"108f1\">\n<div id=\"mgw1641583_108f1\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"mgbox card-media\">\n<div class=\"mgheader\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes Prepares to Play Week 18 vs. Broncos The Kansas City Chiefs have secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC and home-field advantage throughout &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17058,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17057"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17057\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17059,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17057\/revisions\/17059"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/17058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
