The Kansas City Chiefs, led by coach Andy Reid, face the Cleveland Browns, led by quarterback Deshaun Watson on Saturday, August 26, 2023 (8/26/23) at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs know as well as any team in the NFL the importance of backup quarterbacks, and that makes the fact that coach Andy Reid called the competition for the spot too close to call after Monday’s practice noteworthy.
Buechele got most of the work with the No. 2 offense on Monday. Gabbert has worked in that role as well. But those aren’t nearly as important as the quarterback, where the backup can go from holding a clipboard to having an entire season resting in his hands in an instant.The first time against the Browns during the divisional round of the 2020 playoffs, when Mahomes was knocked from the game with a concussion early in the second half. Henne led the Chiefs the rest of the way, completing an audacious fourth-and-1 throw to Tyreek Hill near midfield in the final minutes to put away a 22-17 victory.
Meanwhile, the 25-year-old Buechele has never thrown a regular-season NFL pass. But he does have the benefit of experience in what can be a complicated system, spending the past two seasons on the Kansas City practice squad.
