Wentz played one of the Chiefs' 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-18 win over the 49ers.
ANALYSISSigned to a one-year, $3.33 million contract in April, Wentz emerged from the preseason as the winner of the competition for the backup role behind starting quarterback
Patrick Mahomes. Wentz got the chance to make his Chiefs debut in the second quarter, when head coach Andy Reid dialed up a unique two-quarterback formation near the goal line featuring both Mahomes and Wentz. Wentz took the snap and handed the ball off to
Kareem Hunt, who was stopped at the one-yard line.
