My buddy, a Cowboys fan, just told me the Cleveland Browns need to sit their starters in Week 17.
And it’s not because he wants to keep the Steelers out of the playoffs.
“Sit Baker Mayfield, sit Nick Chubb, sit Jarvis Landry, sit all your starters!” my buddy ranted. “Protect your future. Who cares if you lose? Browns are out of the playoffs, a win means nothing. An injury to any starter in a meaningless game like this is unacceptable.”
A valid point, one that’s being echoed all over the internet this week.
Of course, even more fans are arguing over whether the 7-7-1 Browns should lose to the 9-6 Baltimore Ravens on purpose for an entirely different reason.
