Roger Goodell says playoffs still 'likely' to expand

Two years ago, it seemed inevitable the NFL would expand the playoffs. Then last offseason, the issue was tabled.

At last month's Annual League Meeting, playoff expansion wasn't even one of the talking points. That doesn't mean the door is closed on possibly adding two more wild-card teams down the road.

Speaking at a town hall meeting with Jacksonville Jaguars season ticket holders, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was asked about the possibility of expansion in the future.

"It's a tough one," Goodell said, via the Jags' official team website.
