If you can’t get enough playoff football, the NFL has some good news.
League owners on Tuesday agreed to add two playoff teams, bringing the total number to 14. That means there will be an additional game on Wild-Card Weekend, which translates to three games per conference in the first round.
It also means there will only be one team per conference that earns a bye weekend to begin the playoffs, down from the current two. Previously, the two divisional winners with the best records in each conference received byes; now, only the team with the best record in each conference gets a week off to begin the playoffs.
