DeAndre Hopkins

Stunningly, this was the first time in Hopkins' pro career he was held without a catch. It may be stunning, but it's not surprising after Hopkins' usage dwindled down the stretch of the regular season. The 32-year-old's legs seem to be gone. Nuk's experience and sure hands could still prove an important factor in the AFC Championship Game, but statistical expectations need to be minimized.

In his first 11 NFL seasons, Hopkins' teams never got past the divisional round. In Year 12 with the Chiefs, he hopes that changes.

In his 12th NFL season, Hopkins is hoping to capture his first Super Bowl ring with the best team he's yet to play for.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (rib) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. He's expected to be ready for the team's playoff opener in a couple of weeks. QB Patrick Mahomes, RB Kareem Hunt, and TE Travis Kelce are listed as doubtful and won't play in this meaningless game. Don't expect WRs Xavier Worthy, DeAndre Hopkins, or Marquise Brown to play much, if at all.

Carson Wentz will draw the start this week. Reid didn't name every starter getting the day off, but our best guess for the list of names includes Travis Kelce, Isiah Pacheco, Kareem Hunt, DeAndre Hopkins, Xavier Worthy, and Hollywood Brown. Expect others to make the cut as well. The Chiefs are massive underdogs to the Broncos this week, all but guaranteeing Denver a spot in the playoffs.
