The Chiefs will use the next three games as a gauge for their backups and roster direction, with the Week 16 matchup on the road against the Tennessee Titans offering a prime opportunity for Minshew to lead Kansas City. Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m. ET Sunday, and the game will be televised on CBS.

After Patrick Mahomes arrived in Kansas City in 2017, the Chiefs have made it to the conference championships seven times in a row. But this positive streak is expected to get disrupted in the 2025 season playoffs.
