With nothing but pride — and an NFL record-tying 16th regular-season win — to play for Sunday in Denver, the Kansas City Chiefs are doing the sensible thing in sitting multiple key starters.

Andy Reid spoke to reporters Monday for the first time since the Chiefs clinched the AFC’s top playoff seed, and he didn’t show his hand about the lineup for the regular-season finale at Denver. “The players have been off and they’ll be coming back in (Tuesday),” Reid said. “Then I’ll be able to talk to them about playing times.”
