Did someone say something about 14 playoff teams?

That number-one seed in each conference just took on even greater importance. No longer will there be four teams with byes during the Wild Card Weekend of the NFL Playoffs. Now, there will only be two, one from each conference.

The new CBA also states that, beginning this season. an additional playoff team will be added to each side of the postseason puzzle, giving both the NFC and AFC seven teams apiece. That’s 14 teams total. The number two seed will be playing on Wild Card Weekend.

Call it a crazy theory, but that one sounds like a lot of fun.

Had this happened last season, the Pittsburgh Steelers would have made the postseason and taken on the Kansas City Chiefs on the opening weekend of the postseason tournament. Well, that one probably would have resulted in a blowout, but we all would have enjoyed seeing the Los Angeles Rams and the Green Bay Packers go at it in historic Lambeau Field.

This January, things get a little more interesting.
