Regular season
The first big change here is that the regular season will only be 12 games long. Another major change here is that AFC-NFC matchups will be completely scrapped from the schedule because it doesn’t make sense to have those games during a shortened season.
Week 1 thru Week 7: Division games only. Every team will play each divisional opponent twice for a total of six games. Although this can be done in six weeks, there are seven weeks here for contingency purposes. More importantly, the bye week could also be used to make up any games that were postponed due to coronavirus.
