Do we play the starters next week?

You think KC will sit it's starters against Denver despite the fact that they are down their top 3 OT's?  Not likely.  They will play to defend the #2 seed and hope they can get the #1.

The Bengals have to win a playoff game this year.  One and done again and the feel good narrative shifts to same 'ol Bengals.  You're going to make it that much harder to win a playoff game,let alone make a run at a SB, because of a small percentage chance of injury?  

Its a bad match up and when a dude like Garrett has nothing to lose and our line is suspect???

Now Reid and the chiefs have got their ring...recently...I think that makes it more likely for them to just go for it.

I want the playoff win too.  Without burrow it ain't happening and the young team needs to experience this as a whole team and learn from it. Not worth the risk.
