How do we feel about not finishing with a perfect regular season record?

Beat the Bills and they could have rested starters for the 2nd half of the Steelers game and all of the Broncos game... except in that case do you rest starters and do what's best for the 3 peat or do you keep guys in for this dumb side quest.

Yeah, in theory, a perfect season is nice... in reality, it would have to mean sticking to the plan and beating the Broncos with Wentz and backups, and it's nice to not discuss that for weeks straight, or for the Broncos to be the team that breaks it at the end of the season.

It's actually a bit surprising to me that a team like the Bills or Lions that love to run up the score on opponents hasn't gone undefeated in the regular season. Given all the cupcake schedules out there, it doesn't seem like a thing that can only happen once every few decades where a team is crazy motivated and gets a little luck in terms of injuries to get it done.... it doesn't really move the needle for me in terms of some crazy impressive accomplishment, I guess.
