FWIW:

"The Ravens consider Steve McNair questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers. He suffered a cut on his right hand when a Browns defender stepped on it. He could have returned to the game if the Ravens really needed him, but they decided not to risk making the cut worse. If the Bengals lose the Monday night game and give the AFC North to the Ravens, Brian Billick might consider resting McNair and giving him a chance to let the injury heal."

That doesn't sound like the Billick who was going on and on about the importance of momentum into the playoffs. I guess if McNair's cut/bruise doesn't heal quickly that changes the equation.
