Teams shouldn't be doing it because it kills momentum, and from a fan perspective the week 17 product isn't nearly as good as the first 16 weeks.

Outside of the injured 3-4, Dallas did play their starters the whole first half against us. They played shitty, but that's not why they lost to the Giants.

The first two times the Giants and Cowboys met, the clear-cut better team won. The third time, it was a lot, a lot closer. Makes logical sense that the game was more competitive, and that the Giants eventually pulled it out.
