1. Noun; The sixteenth week of the seventeen-week NFL Regular Season

2. Noun; The week when, in 2009, Indianapolis Colts President Bill Polian decided to sit his team's starters in the second half of a game against the New York Jets, who were fighting for one of the AFC Wild-Card spots. This move cost the Colts the game and gave the Jets a playoff birth at the expense of the Houston Texans. When questioned about his decision in the days after the game, Polian became defensive, stating that he didn't care about going undefeated. Even so, this series of events continues to haunt Colts fans. In the aftermath of the situation, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stated that it was unfair for teams to charge fans full price for games which did not feature starters, and moved to change the NFL schedule so that the final weeks of the season would feature a large number of divisional games, which he hoped would be more meaningful and reduce the chances that a team would rest its starters.

3. Verb; To rest on one's laurels for questionable reasons when one has the chance to attain something greater, especially when such a decision significantly affects others.
