  • Chiefs enter season finale in Las Vegas with a 9-3 Reid-era final-week record.
  • With Mahomes sidelined, Reid will mix starters and reserves; no playoff stake.
  • Game airs Jan. 4, 2025 at 3:25 p.m. CT on CBS; Chiefs opened as 6-point favorite.

In a season when they lost their streaks of consecutive playoff seasons (10) and winning record (12), the Chiefs have one final positive trend they’ll look to protect.

They’ve been good in season finales playing their starters under Andy Reid.

The Reid-led Chiefs take a 9-3 record in final-week games into Las Vegas this weekend. They lost at Denver last year while resting many starters, having already clinched the AFC’s top seed in the NFL playoffs. In 2020, Chad Henne made his only start in a Chiefs uniform in a home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Chiefs also rested starters in 2013 and lost at the Chargers in overtime.

With so many Chiefs out with injuries, starting with quarterback Patrick Mahomes, this finale will be a mix of starters and reserves. But there is no playoff seed on the line. For the first time in Reid’s 13 seasons in Kansas City, the Chiefs are playing out the string.
