The door remains cracked for playoff expansion to 14 teams to happen this season. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Thursday owners would discuss expanded playoffs at the Spring League Meeting in Atlanta on May 20. According to Newsday's Bob Glauber, Goodell said it is possible owners could approve expanding playoffs as early as this season. If no vote is taken at that meeting, it won't happen this year. Aside from the owners' approval, the players union must also approve playoff expansion. At the NFL Annual Meeting in March, owners declined to make a decision on increasing playoff participants. "It's not out of the question, but we didn't make that decision at all. We have more work to do. I wouldn't rule it out, but I wouldn't say that's the direction we're headed right now," Goodell said at the time. Source: ESPN
I'm not in favour of this,don't want to see mediocre teams (8 - 8; 7 - 9) in the playoffs.It's all about the NFL making more money.
