In a virtual meeting Tuesday, NFL owners approved the motion we knew was coming once the new Collective Bargaining Agreement was confirmed; the NFL is moving to a 17-game regular season.
The NFL also confirmed word that the NFC would place the AFC in these new games, with the AFC East squaring off against the NFC East team in the same position this year. The 7-9 Washington Football Team won the division like the Bills in 2020, so Buffalo will host Ron Rivera and Ryan Fitzpatrick in 2021. The AFC East will play one game against the NFC West in 2022, NFC South in 2023, and NFC North in 2024.
