The Chiefs are assured of playing in the AFC playoffs in two weeks, but they have a game this Sunday against the San Diego Chargers that is meaningless. So head coach Andy Reid is trying to determine if he should play his starters, or rest them. The answer to that is simple: Ask the players. If a player believes he will perform better if he continues to play rather than taking a break, then Coach Reid should play him. But if another player believes he will play better by taking a break and resting, then by all means, let him rest. We’re talking here about beliefs. The athletes’ beliefs affect performance, not the coaches. This is strictly a no-brainer but the media seems to be making a huge issue out of it. Go figure.
