A loss to the stains in that scenario is not something I wanna experience.  Gross.

And IF we pull it off, I assume we'll be resting starters.  I don't think exposing burrow to a front like the browns have is worth it when the chiefs will prolly beat the Broncos anyway.

Maybe if the game got flexed and we got to see the Broncos pull an upset before our game starts.  But even then, even if ya win the game but burrow gets even nicked up and can play but is hobbled....was the juice worth that squeeze???

I say no.  I say regardless, if ya clinch, ya take your home game and tell burrow to wave mockingly at miles Garrett from the sideline.

It is a fair point, but consider this:  If the Bengals rest their starters and give away a win to the Browns, the Chiefs not only get the bye, but they get to rest their starters against Denver.  I understand that the Titans could be a minor nuisance in this picture, but I actually think the Dolphins beat them this week.

The Titans have been one of the most difficult teams to figure out.  Tannehill has been running a lot more as a QB, and he is a good athlete.  He isn't exactly sliding down and avoiding shots, either.  He is playing to win.  I don't love that team, but I have to give them credit for playing very hard.
