Proposed Expanded NFL Playoffs Would Have Benefited Steelers Most In Last Eight Seasons

According to several reports on Wednesday, the 2020 NFL season could include a new playoff format if the current CBA proposal that owners are pushing for gets ratified in the coming weeks. In that CBA proposal from NFL owners, the playoff field would be expanded to seven teams from each conference starting in 2020. While it’s seemingly hard to find many fans of the NFL that are ecstatic about the potential playoff format change, adding one more team per conference sure would have befitted the Pittsburgh Steelers more than any other NFL over the course of the last eight seasons.
