"We know how valuable he can be.Dallas Cowboys’ Dak Prescott celebrates a touchdown during the second half of an NFL football game against the Philadelphia Eagles Saturday, Dec. “That's why we wanted him here with us," the coach said. He was 6-6 as a starter during that 2019 season, throwing for 21 touchdowns and six interceptions. Sirianni said Minshew's resume with the Jaguars was a big reason the team pursued him a few years ago. He got to start two games this year and played really well in the Dallas game.” “He's given us some good minutes, some good time. "He's played a lot of good football and you want that experience that he has,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said. The Eagles lost both contests, but Minshew was productive, throwing for 355 yards against the Cowboys and 274 yards against the Saints. Minshew started two games late this season when starter Jalen Hurts was dealing with a throwing shoulder injury. He’s been the Eagles’ backup for the past two seasons. The 26-year-old first gained fame for his signature mustache while leading the Jacksonville Jaguars to some surprising wins in 2019. Minshew is in his fourth season in the NFL out of Washington State. If you do that, you set yourself up for success on Sunday.” “You just go about it like a regular week,” Henne said. Henne joked that he wished Mahomes would give him more opportunities to shine, but even if he never touches the field in a meaningful fashion this Sunday, he'll be ready. In another divisional game two years ago, Mahomes was forced into the concussion protocol and Henne guided the Chiefs through the second half of a 22-17 win over the Browns. It wasn't the first time Henne has saved a Kansas City season. “To come in a hostile game, backed up to your 2, go 98 yards - that just shows the type of competitor he is,” Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said. Mahomes returned after halftime, but those seven points proved crucial. Kansas City starter Patrick Mahomes left the team’s AFC divisional round game against the Jaguars with an ankle injury in the second quarter and Henne entered, completing 5 of 7 passes during a 98-yard touchdown drive. Henne has already proven his worth in this year’s playoffs. He’s been the Chiefs backup for the past five seasons, starting just once since 2014. The 37-year-old Henne has been in the NFL since 2008 and was a starter at various points earlier in his career with the Dolphins and Jaguars.
