there was NO way they wanted to win that game. They played 2nd and 3rd string guys all game long. Keep in mind, bench players are not in starting shape. After 10 minutes, they'll wear out, and wear out fast.

Keeping Grossman on the bench was a complete playoff strategy move. It's not like he needed the rest, but Lovie didn't want to provide the round 1 team any film tape to study.
