They may frown on it, but I doubt they’d penalize them. They’ve already taken the stance that each game is up to the teams on how they want to play it, and how hard they try to win.

It’s come up before when people have suggested forcing teams to play their players in the last game of the year to. If a team doesn’t try to win, that’s on them. Let their fans eat them alive for it.

For what it’s worth, I still don’t think two teams would ever do this, especially teams that have been division rivals for 60 years.
