You could've/should've just asked: "Do we concede the 2 seed if we have the division locked up?"

Never have I ever seen a team concede a better seed (or a bye in this case) in week 16.

The Browns have been in games late and have been playing scrappy and will not want to go 0-16. That's no gimme for the Steelers in week 17. The Jets beat us and have played surprisingly good football at times this year. Would not be shocked if either team wins over the Steelers or Pats in week 17 as this doesn't feel like a typical year to me where either team feels unbeatable.

The only way multiple starters are being rested is if our week 17 game gets moved to 4 pm or 8 pm with the Steelers and Pats finishing their games by 4pm and we know we don't have a shot at the 2 seed before we kickoff. The best chance our game gets moved to later in the day is if the Titans are playing for something.
