The Sunday showdown saw the AFC No. 1 team being blanked 38-0 by the\u00a0<strong>Broncos<\/strong>. And\u00a0<strong>Andy Reid<\/strong>\u2019s decision to bench\u00a0<strong>Patrick Mahomes<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Travis Kelce<\/strong>, and other starters raised eyebrows. And fans from many quarters blamed coach Reid for foul play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Andy Reid is now being accused of manipulating the playoff picture. Since a win for the Chiefs could have meant a potential matchup with\u00a0<strong>Joe Burrow<\/strong>\u2018s\u00a0<strong>Cincinnati Bengals<\/strong>. On the other hand, the victory handed\u00a0<strong>Denver<\/strong>\u00a0their first playoff berth since 2015. All the praise to rookie QB\u00a0<strong>Bo Nix\u00a0<\/strong>for his spectacular performance. He completed twenty-six of twenty-nine passes for 321 yards. To make things even better, he also scored four touchdowns. Nix has now set a franchise record with 18 consecutive completions. In contrast, the Chiefs starter for the match flunked big time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-loader_es-image-loader-aspect-ratio__X6IHP \"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"img-tag-node-img-loader-0\" src=\"https:\/\/image-cdn.essentiallysports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/andy-reid-patrich-mahomes-travis-kelce.png\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"engagement\">\n<div class=\"article-poll_article-container-border-wrap__XPxZ5 engagement-wrap\">\n<div class=\"article-poll_aritclePoll__7aHpX\">\n<div class=\"article-poll_aritclePollHeader__zgXB7\">\n<div class=\"article-poll_flex__uk8IF\">\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Carson Wentz managed just 98 passing yards and suffered four sacks. Kansas City\u2019s offense was woefully ineffective without its stars. They mustered only 98 net yards. Denver\u2019s offence? Theirs is more than four times the Chiefs\u2019 net yards at 479. The game also ended a 12-year streak without a shutout loss for the Chiefs. And their first since Reid became head coach in 2013.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-posts-new_related-posts-es__dppnO\" data-source=\"false\">\n<div class=\"related-posts-new_container-div__f8NIV\">\n<h3 class=\"related-posts-new_title-text__iTXed\">Who Are 5 Candidates That Could Replace Jerod Mayo After Robert Kraft Fired Patriots HC<\/h3>\n<div class=\"related-posts-new_icon-div__ZsPSG\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Reid\u2019s decision to rest his starters didn\u2019t just impact the\u00a0<a class=\"es-hyperlink-new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.essentiallysports.com\/category\/nfl\/kansas-city-chiefs\/\/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=website_internal&amp;utm_campaign=web_link_1\" target=\"_self\">Chiefs<\/a>.

Their readiness for the divisional round is now in question, with Mahomes and other starters inactive for weeks.
