The NFL competition committee hopes to hold a 16-team playoff if games are lost due to the COVID-19 pandemic, per ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
The competition committee is expected to present a resolution on the plan to the league's owners this week, per Mortensen.
Eight teams from each conference would reach the playoffs if the NFL is forced to expand the playoffs, per Mortensen. The bye week would be eliminated for the top seed in each conference.
The NFL voted to expand the playoffs to 14 teams in February. The NFL could also expand the regular season to 17 games beginning in 2021.
