If we were in the 1st seed and playing to lose it that's different but the chances are probably just as high of Burrow getting hurt as they are us jumping to the 1st seed.
Whichever way we go I won't be upset (unless Burrow gets hurt) but if it was up to me I sit people.
The #1 seed is at play. If Burrow is banged up I understand saving him for the playoffs. We still benefit from a win next week. Even the #3 seed matters when there’s a realistic chance that Buffalo or New England could be waiting for us in the AFC championship.
On that note the Patriots have more Super Bowls than anyone and they never rest their starters. It makes perfect sense to rest the starters but historically it doesn’t work out
