There reportedly could be two more teams in the NFL playoffs as soon as the 2020 season.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the current collective bargaining proposal would put seven teams from each conference in the postseason with only the top seed on each side of the bracket receiving a bye. That is a change from the current structure, which features six teams from each conference in the playoffs and the top two seeds receiving byes.
