2 unusual facts about Resting the starters


Resting the starters

For example, the 2007 New England Patriots did not rest their starters and accomplished a perfect 16-0 regular season in a victory against the New York Giants (who also played their starters), but ultimately lost Super Bowl XLII to the same Giants team.

The 2011 Green Bay Packers rested their starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers on the final game of the regular season, as the Packers had already secured the #1 seed in the NFC playoffs.
