However, the charter was delayed on its arrival into Kansas City, meaning they had to go with the originally scheduled departure time\u00a0\u2013 and, as a result, they\u2019re now stuck at the airport.<\/p>\n<p>Kansas City\u2019s city manager,\u00a0<strong>Brian David Platt<\/strong>, offered an update on when operations would start back up. At 4:39 p.m. CT, he\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BrianDavidPlatt\/status\/1875673374715941094\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> the airport would be back up and running in 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday\u2019s game between Kansas City and Denver is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET. With less than 24 hours to go, it\u2019s unclear if it\u2019ll stay in that window or if it will have to change.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-carson-wentz-to-start-for-chiefs-against-broncos\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Carson Wentz to start for Chiefs against Broncos<\/h2>\n<p>The Chiefs have the AFC\u2019s No. 1 seed already, which is why they\u2019re opting to rest most of their big names against the Broncos. Players such as\u00a0Patrick Mahomes\u00a0and\u00a0Travis Kelce are not expected to play even though Kansas City could eliminate Denver. If the Broncos win, they\u2019re in the playoffs, and a loss means they\u2019re once again on the outside looking in.<\/p>\n<p>Carson Wentz\u00a0is in line to start for Kansas City after sitting behind Mahomes this year. He kept the situation in perspective earlier this week when asked about making his first start of the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to play well and have success out there and ultimately \u2014 more than anything \u2014 get a win. That\u2019s the goal,\u201d\u00a0Wentz said. \u201cObviously, we know the circumstances. We know where we\u2019re at and the reason I\u2019m playing and not Pat and all the things, but I still go out there and expect to win. I\u2019m going to prepare to go out there and win and have a good performance with this offense. We\u2019re preparing for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As winter weather roars through the area, Kansas City International Airport shut down Saturday due to icy conditions.
