Someone Needs To Play

With a win over the Jets tomorrow, the Pats can clinch home field advantage throughout the playoffs. They already have a first round bye.

If they accomplish this feat, what will they do next week against the Dolphins? Fans talk about players getting rested and not playing. They could sit Brady and Gronk, but how many can they really spare?

Someone needs to play on special teams and serve as a backup. Other players are injured. They could use the time to recuperate.

It's all about managing the roster according to Coach Belichick.
