2023 Super Bowl: Chiefs backup QB Chad Henne rides into sunset, announces retirement after win over Eagles

Chad Henne is riding into the sunset.

The backup quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs enjoyed Sunday's Super Bowl win with a beer and a retirement announcement. Henne told his Instagram followers just hours after the game that he's "calling it a career."

He did so with a well-deserved smile on his face.

A 13-year NFL veteran, Henne hasn't seen much action while backing up Patrick Mahomes for four seasons. But when he's been called upon at critical playoff junctures, he's delivered — most notably during a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in January.
