Even though the path to the playoffs is already decided, several players agreed with the decision to play the majority of the team.

Yes, that's right." Sebastian Joseph-Day was emphatic when asked if he agreed with the decision to play starters. It's all about the way things are going. We used the bottom half of the job to win.

After the third quarter, Chase Daniel came in. Herbert ran for 273 yards and scored two times.

Herbert said that everyone on the team wanted to fight. We're behind the front office, the coaching staff and whatever they decide.

Herbert has 14,091 career passing yards, an NBA record for a player through his first three seasons, and 94 career passing touchdown, which is the second most in a player's first three seasons. Dan Marino had 98 career touchdown passes.

In the last quarter of the season, Herbert, Allen and Williams were on the field together, but Allen and Williams only played four games. Allen and Williams missed a lot of time because of injuries.

Several defensive players were pulled from the game in the fourth quarter.

The Bolts allowed quarterback Russell Wilson to complete 13 of 24 passes for 283 yards and three touchdown as the Broncos ended their season with a 5-12 record.

It can take away from your rhythm if you don't play for a week and start two weeks later. We were going to play to win, be on a five-game win streak and be one of the hottest teams entering the playoffs.
