NFL

Garoppolo to make his Rams debut as starting QB >> Former 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will take his first snaps for the Rams when he starts in place of Matthew Stafford in playoff-bound Los Angeles’ regular-season finale against Seattle on Sunday.

Coach Sean McVay announced the decision to rest Stafford, the 16-year veteran starter. The Rams haven’t decided which additional starters will rest.

Los Angeles (10-6) has clinched the NFC West title over the Seahawks (9-7) based on strength of schedule.

Rodgers: Time with Jets ‘best 2 years of my life’ >> Aaron Rodgers was in a reflective mood as he prepares for what could be his last game with the New York Jets. And of his impressive 20-year NFL career.

“Yeah, of course,” Rodgers said when asked if he has considered that the season finale Sunday against Miami could also be it for him. The 41-year-old former Cal quarterback insisted, though, he’s not ready to make a call on his playing future.

“I just need a break mentally to kind of refresh and put my feet in the sand,” he said. “And see where I’m at after that.”

Chiefs to start Wentz at QB >> The Chiefs will rest Patrick Mahomes and start backup Carson Wentz at quarterback on Sunday in Denver in a game that means nothing to Kansas City, which has already clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs, but could mean everything to the Broncos.

The Broncos would clinch a playoff berth as the No. 7 seed by beating the Chiefs, earning a trip to Buffalo for their postseason opener. If they lose, they would need the Jets to beat the Dolphins and the Steelers to beat the Bengals.
