None of this discussion will matter unless the Rams win the WC game. Resting key players could make a difference in the WC game, but it is important to look down the road to the ultimate objective. We shall see how it plays out. It is a good thing that the final regular season isn't against a team that is still trying to make the playoffs. In that case, the Rams might be criticized for not taking the game seriously. In 1970, the Rams would have won the division if the Raiders had beaten the 49ers in the final game, but it didn't matter to the Raiders.
