NFL owners still undecided on number of preseason games in 2021 and beyond

The National Football League, and their 32 owners, held a virtual league meeting Wednesday, and one of the many topics which was discussed was the length of the preseason in the 2021 season.

It isn’t hard to remember those four painful preseason games fans had to suffer through as teams geared up for the regular season, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are probably thankful 2020 canceled the preseason considering they would have had a whopping 5 preseason games while playing in the annual Hall of Fame game in Canton, OH.

The preseason didn’t exist this year, and I think most fans, coaches and players would admit there is value in some exhibition games.
