I don't really care either way. Belicheck doesn't do it . What happens of key guys get injured though? Then you're left feeling like a retard for playing them in a 100% meaningless game. That's the angle so I see why coaches do it.

In this spot I dont like it. KC has struggled lately and could use the extra snaps for practice.
Prob wont matter because KC is a fraud team anyways, they wont win anything this year.

Damned if you do...damned if you don't Colts did it a few years ago when they had a shot at going 16-0 and all the experts went back and forth about the pro's and cons about it. The Chiefs have been blowing chunks the last few weeks, so it surely isn't going to hurt them

I totally agree. Is like getting a bye week without earning it. They had a lot of injuries and no need to risk vs a team motivated to win. If he was playing the Jaguars or the Raiders he wouldn't rest.

It's a good idea. Don't risk players unnecessarily to be injured at this crucial time pre playoff.

They must have been loafing, because that is the only game today that was never in doubt.

Indy was playing for a bye if both Cincy and NE lost.
