Who Should I Start? Mitchell Trubisky or Gardner Minshew

Sunday, January 4, 8:14 PM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Mitchell Trubisky completed 22 of his 29 pass attempts for 259 passing yards, four passing touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 18 win over the New York Jets. He also rushed for five yards and didn't take a sack. Josh Allen played the opening snap to extend his active starting streak, and then, Trubisky played the rest of the way. Thanks to the veteran quarterback's strong performance, the Bills are now locked into the No. 6 seed in the AFC playoff picture and will face the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road next weekend. Trubisky will head back to the bench as Allen looks to get Buffalo beyond the Wild Card Round for the sixth year in a row.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Gardner Minshew (knee) got good news from an MRI on his injured knee, as his ACL was not torn as initially feared. He's still out for the rest of the season on IR, but his recovery will be quicker since it's a "non-displaced tibial plateau fracture," which is basically a severe bone bruise but does not require surgery. The seventh-year QB was on a one-year deal with the Chiefs, but only played two games this season. He'll be a free agent this offseason, and the fact that he won't have to recover from a torn ACL will make him one of the better backup options on the market. He could return to Kansas City or land with a new team, but wherever he ends up, the fact that he doesn't have a torn ACL should improve his chances of being ready for offseason activities and the start of next season.
