There is so much controversy over officiating, I wonder if they couldn't do something about it in the offseason so we have a better result next season.
Falcons. Holy moly. Wowsers even.

NFL teams confirmed or expected to rest key starters (or most starters) in Week 18 of the 2025 season (games on January 3-4, 2026):Philadelphia Eagles (vs. Washington Commanders): Confirmed to rest Jalen Hurts and most starters, with Tanner McKee starting at QB. The team is treating this as an effective bye week after clinching their playoff spot.
Los Angeles Chargers (at Denver Broncos): Confirmed to rest Justin Herbert (Trey Lance starting) and likely other key starters with bruises/needing rest, as they're locked into a wild-card spot with no seeding movement possible.
Green Bay Packers (at Minnesota Vikings): Expected to rest multiple key starters, including Jordan Love (due to rest/concussion protocol concerns), Josh Jacobs, Christian Watson, and others. They're locked into the No. 7 seed and dealing with injuries.
Other teams like the Buffalo Bills may limit Josh Allen's snaps (e.g., one series), and the Las Vegas Raiders could rest Geno Smith, but the above are the primary ones with clear reports of significant resting. Teams with playoff implications (e.g., Seattle/49ers, Baltimore/Pittsburgh) are playing to win for seeding or berths. Check final inactives closer to game time for updates.
