But there is one significant change to the NFL season starting right away, which is the addition of one more playoff team in each conference. Instead of sending six teams to the playoffs from the NFC and AFC, it will be seven.
This will have a big impact on the seeding in each conference, and it would have changed the Green Bay Packers‘ season in 2019 had the format been used then.
As the number two seed, the Packers would’ve hosted the seventh seed in the wild-card round rather than having the week off.
