Yeah they only better their chances in the playoffs by meeting the jets. They have a first round bye, and would rather keep players from getting hurt. Sent from my HTC6515LVW using Tapatalk
Been doing this for awhile with so many good O layers out. They're just hanging on trying to win a tight game late. Their season really rests on getting Amendola, Edelman, Chandler, McCourty, Chung etal healthy for the playoffs.
They'e done this 2 or 3 times the last month. They will rin a few plays for him, but they aren't going to force a bunch of passes to Gronk and risk getting him hurt.
