Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Patrick Mahomes

Wednesday, December 25, 10:21 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson completed 23 of 37 pass attempts for 205 scoreless yards and one interception in a 29-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. However, Wilson was responsible for Pittsburgh's lone touchdown of the day, adding 55 rushing yards and a score on six carries. The Steelers struggled to protect Wilson on Wednesday as the veteran took five sacks and frequently could not find an open receiver before being swarmed by Kansas City's pass rush. After a solid start to his tenure in Pittsburgh, Wilson is 0-3 over the past three weeks with at least one turnover in each contest. He'll hope to end the regular season on a positive note next week against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 29 of 38 pass attempts (76%) for 320 yards and three touchdowns in the 29-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Mahomes passed for over 300 yards and multiple touchdowns for the first time this year in Week 17. The veteran quarterback also rushed once for 12 yards in this game. After leading the league in interceptions to begin the year, Mahomes has now gone six straight games without a turnover. With this win, the Chiefs have officially locked up the top seed in the AFC. Given that the team has nothing to gain by playing their starters next week, it should be assumed that we have seen the last of Mahomes in the regular season. That said, Mahomes did tell the media that he will prepare to start in Week 18 against the Broncos until Coach Andy Reid says otherwise.
