With their NFC East title secured, and the Redskins unable to improve their seed position, Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden has yet decide if he's choosing to rest his starters or not for Washington's Week 17 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

“It’s a big game for us to keep our momentum, but we also have to be smart about the guys that are a little bit (injured) and get them well for the playoffs,” Gruden told Andrew Walker, the managing editor for Redskins.com.

It's an interesting problem for the Redskins to have. Washington has won four of their last five games, their best stretch of the entire season. Is it more important to rest key players, like quarterback Kirk Cousins, or try to carry the momentum into the playoffs? It's easy to see the benefits of both decisions.
