KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Saddled with a franchise-worst, 12-game losing streak, the Chiefs might decide they need a win more than a long look at a young quarterback.
Without coming right out and saying so, coach Herm Edwards strongly hinted Tuesday veteran Damon Huard would get the nod Sunday against Denver and second-year man Tyler Thigpen would return to the bench after one start.
“I’ll decide on that (today). Sleep on it a little bit more,” Edwards said. “I’m leaning that way. I’ve got to address the team, exactly what we’re going to do.”
Making the switch means the Chiefs will not have had the same quarterback start two games in a row all year.
Thigpen was 14-for-36 for 128 yards and a touchdown but threw three interceptions in Sunday’s 38-14 loss to Atlanta.
