NFL To Investigate Colts For Tanking Game Against Jets

You sure you mean the Pats? They lost Wes Welker for the playoffs by playing him and Brady in a meaningless game.

The Cardinals tanked on purpose, as did the Saints. With the Bengals, I don't know. I think the Jets were playing for the playoffs, the Bengals were already assured of their seed and location, so they weren't playing for anything, it was a cold rotten night and they just didn't want to be there.

I don't think they deliberately tanked, I just think they weren't that jazzed and came up against a team that was crazy out of their minds hyped up.

Yes about Welker, but the Pats didn’t play Brady for the final drive.

The game wasn’t meaningless to the Texans or to other teams that were or could’ve been effected by the game.

I wasn’t playing close attention to the ramifications of the NFC games.

But when people use the word “meaningless” it’s only meaningless to one of the teams playing. It isn’t meaningless to the other team playing or to other teams that might be effected by the outcome.
