The Kansas City Chiefs have had an impressive 2024 season, entering the year as defending Super Bowl champions. With a 15-1 record and one regular season game left, they remain one of the top teams in the NFL.
As the Chiefs prepare for their season finale, they’ll rest their starters, providing an opportunity for backup quarterback Carson Wentz to take the field against the Denver Broncos. Wentz, who signed a one-year deal with the Chiefs to serve as Patrick Mahomes’ backup, is now poised to showcase his skills. Once regarded as one of the league’s top quarterbacks, Wentz has found himself in a backup role but could potentially revive his career with a strong performance.
As Wentz heads into free agency after the season, CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin predicts he could sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers as a backup to Russell Wilson. This move seems likely given the Steelers’ current quarterback situation, with Wilson and Justin Fields both part of the team this season. However, it would be surprising if both quarterbacks returned in 2025. If the Steelers retain one of them, they will need a new backup, and Wentz could be the ideal fit.
