Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll doesn't have any intentions of resting his regular starters heading into the Week 16 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Seahawks suffered a disappointing overtime loss to the struggling San Francisco 49ers in Week 16, but the good news is that Carroll's team still remains as the No. 5 seed in the NFC at the moment.
And with plenty to play for in the final two games of the season, the Seattle coach isn't planning on changing anything when it comes to the team that he'll put on the field.
Here's what Carroll had to say when asked about resting his starters, courtesy of Liz Mathews of Seahawks Wire:
“No. Absolutely not,” Carroll responded. “If we couldn’t clinch, we might do what? No. Whatever that is, no. We’re going to go try to win a football game and we’ll do everything we can. This is a terrific championship opportunity for us.”
Carroll also went on to discuss how the matchup with a team like the Chiefs will help the Seahawks get ready for the competition of the playoffs:
“It’s a fantastic team, the kind of teams that you’ve got to beat if you get a chance to get into the playoffs and if you can’t match up with these guys, what can you expect down the road?” Carroll continued. “We’re going for it and that’s the only way we know how to do that.
“We don’t ever take a step off that.”
So, that pretty much answers the question as to whether the Seahawks will be featuring their regular contributors on Sunday.
After this week's game, Seattle will return to the field in Week 17 to take on the Arizona Cardinals.
