i've seen the back-up come in many times with 5-10 min remaining if a team is way ahead or way behind. at that point in the game yesterday, the tv commentators were asking, why aren't we seeing elijah brown? i concur. 

the commentators made the point that you want the back-up to get some playing time now in case qb1 is injured later.

Pulling QB 1 to avoid the chance of injury (among other reasons) when the game is decided is standard coaching wisdom. Reich has decided not to follow it and as people are saying we will probably never know the reason. He certainly isn't doing it to save his job.
