I don't want a junk win, say the last game of the year if Cleveland also has nothing to play for. But to knock off some competitor could do wonders for morale. Never sure the draft picks will work out anyway.
It would be hard to play such a violent sport with no motivation to play.
Morale in the final weeks of this season doesn't really have much bearing on next season, which IMO, should be the top priority. Even with a couple key losses a healthy Burrow from start to finish could be a serious run to the SB. I'll add that these are all professionals they uber motivated and know that they are always being evaluated.
