Ron Rivera says Week 16 game 'has value,' starters expected to play

If there was any question about whether or not the Carolina Panthers would be all out to get a victory to get to 15-0 in Week 16, Ron Rivera is now ready to put that to bed it seems. With the Panthers facing a game that has "value," as he puts it, Rivera spoke like a man expected to have zero interest in resting anyone against the Atlanta Falcons.

Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk also reported that when Rivera spoke during his Monday press conference, that he stated he would not think about resting healthy starters if there's something to play for.

With homefield advantage on the line, there's no reason to possibly believe that Rivera would do anything other than try to keep the undefeated season going.
