And no one will really remember it but Chiefs fans. If he had made eight sacks, it would get replayed on NFL Network until the sun explodes.
I view this type of situation as being similar to sitting guys after you've clinched home field. Not letting him play is smart from an injury perspective, but at the same time there's a big morale boost when a guy puts his name in the record books. I'd have a hard time keeping him out on 1st and goal at the 3.
