Don’t be upset about losing out & why it is ok.

That said, I absolutely can’t stomach voluntarily losing to the Stealers and letting that team possibly sneak into the playoffs because our team didn’t try to win.

You don't have to worry about that.  Players and coaches play to win.

The HC and maybe the FO might collude to tank, but no one under them will be in on it.

What you will likely see is players going on IR for injuries, that otherwise they might try to work through.  Or perhaps rookies, 2nd stringers getting opportunities they might not otherwise get during a fight for a playoff spot.  Like Nick Scott getting benched or one of theo ther RBs getting opportunities, etc.  While this isn;t tanking per se, you are likely to see things you wouldn't otherwise with Burrow holding the clipboard.
