Green Bay Packers may rest starters final 2 weeks

With a win over the Chiefs on Sunday — or a 49ers loss to the Steelers on Monday — the Packers will wrap up home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.  It’s believed that Green Bay will shoot for a perfect season, but QB Aaron Rodgers recently revealed that some starters might get pulled in the final 2 games if the score allows.  "The score may come into play here the last few weeks potentially if we’ve got things wrapped up," A-Rodg said.  It sounds like the Packers will play their starters at least until those games are safely in hand.  At that point, guys like Rodgers, WR Jordy Nelson, and TE Jermichael Finley would likely already have put some numbers on the board.  Their upside would be limited though.  It’ll be something to keep an eye on, but Green Bay’s starters are safe to use in Week 15.
