On Sunday night, the Green Bay Packers officially clinched the No. 1 seed in the NFC and home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
The Packers still have one game remaining on their regular season schedule and most assumed they would rest their starters for the playoffs rather than risking injury in a meaningless game against the Detroit Lions.
Well, according to Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, his is not only going to play his starters but the plan is to treat the game against the Lions like any other game.
“Right now the mindset is we’re going to play our guys, and we’re going to approach it like any other game.”
Is this the correct decision?
