The country is going to get a good look at quarterback Carson Wentz on Sunday.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Wentz will make the start in place of Patrick Mahomes in Denver for Sunday’s regular-season finale because KC has already locked up the top seed in the AFC playoffs.

And even though the outcome of the game means nothing to the Chiefs, most of the nation will see Sunday’s game against the Broncos. And CBS Sports’ top NFL broadcast crew will call the game.

Denver needs to win to ensure a spot in the playoffs, so that will be the bigger draw for viewers. Here is the TV map, via 506Sports.com:
