Chiefs have won out and are 13-2 heading into the Week 17 game against the Raiders....in Arrowhead. We've locked up the #1 seed and HFA. Mahomes is sitting at 54 TDs for the season.....two away from breaking Manning's single season record of 55 TDs.
Would you want Mahomes out there to throw 2 TDs in the first half of the game? Or do you say fuck the record and sit him the entire game? [Reply]

Not sure about tiebreakers vs. Houston in that scenario if they win the next three. I think Texans lose at Eagles. They could lose to the Colts at home this weekend.
Don't see them losing at Jets or to the suddenly pathetic Jags.
Wouldn't sit him for the game with or without the record consideration.
If we have a bye locked up and you sit him, that's 2 weeks without game action and that's just too long for a kid that isn't going to have any familiarity with playoff football anyway.
Try to keep things as 'normal' as possible. I'd consider playing him the full game depending on how the Raiders rush is getting home. If they're not putting pressure on him, I wouldn't take him out at all.
EDIT: Everyone has already said this. I'll see myself out. [Reply]
