Through the first 10 weeks of the 2019 season, the Minnesota Vikings are the only team in the NFC that has yet to lose a game on their home field. Of all the teams in the NFL, the Vikings and New England Patriots are the only two who are undefeated at home this year.
For teams like Minnesota, home games have become a very important advantage. Unfortunately, it’s an advantage that could be making less of an impact in the near future for the Vikings and every other team around the league.
According to a recent report by the Washington Post’s Mark Maske, the NFL and the NFLPA are getting closer to signing a new labor agreement that is, “increasingly likely,” to change the number of games in each regular season from 16 to 17.
