Browns resting starters, should we do the same?

And do you really want to lose to Jeff Driskell (!) and the Browns (!) in front of a home crowd, when the Browns are resting players? As it is, even with the Browns resting players, there is a chance the Bengals could lose. That would be a total embarrassment. Not to mention adding both a losing record and 0-6 in the division. Couldn't exact wear our Bengals' jerseys with pride if they end up being 0-6 in the division.

What is worse, playing guys and ne or more tears their ACL and out for a portion or all of 2024 or rest the core so no way it happens?

What is worse, playing your starters and lose to Driskell or not play core players and lose?

Bengals players have played 57 games the past 3 years, Browns have played 51 games due to our playoff and Super Bowl runs. Don't our guys deserve a break to get ready for 2024?

I get the win mentality, but I guarantee you if one of our core guys has a major injury, ZT's head should be on the line.
