The media outrage on Twitter right now is pretty hilarious. I highly doubt it’d be the same if it was a 6-10 Carolina team getting screwed by an obvious tank job.
How about not going 6-10 and relying on help to make the playoffs in the first place?
Is that media in Miami? I mean they have an even stronger gripe about a team playing to lose and that team was the Pittsburgh Steelers. No Ben. Several other players out. Steelers lose, allowing Browns to win and firmly eliminating the Dolphins from the playoffs after their expected loss to Buffalo.
No one can legitimately complain about a team doing some weird stuff during week 17. It happens every single year. Mahomes didn't play. Roethlisberger didn't play. Lots of other teams sat players or pulled them early. And frankly, it isn't like Hurts was on fire. He was terrible. I mean high school QB bad in that game.
