I just don't see why the NFL would care so much in most cases.... Cowboys had won one playoff game in like 17 years, but now they care? Peyton is the NFL's love child, but not enough to actually win much of anything outside of playing Rex Grossman?
I could see them swaying outcomes by emphasizing rules before/during games and stuff like that, but I just don't see the huge benefit of making sure the Cowboys win over the Lions in that case. Hell, I'd be more willing to accept the Patriots/Ravens being rigged for Brady/Manning or Brady/Luck. The risk/reward of rigging games and it eventually being leaked is just not there. Well, except that time the Saints won the SB... that was super weird, right?

If you're saying that "by the letter of the rules" (as written or as understood) that our two DEs aren't held A LOT, you're crazy! If they applied the same ticky-tack mindset to the O-line holding as they do in 99.999937615% of DBs "DPIing" a QB's WR, life would be awesome for the three weeks where the NFL's total scoring (across the league) is like 100 points.
