Wild-Card Weekend Will Feature Tripleheaders, Draft Prospects to Have Cameras in Homes, NFL Notes

NFL business is moving forward, with the rest of country slowed to a crawl. So we are too…

The NFL has conference calls in place of the annual meeting, and the one today, with team presidents, went over the league’s certain-to-pass proposal to expand the playoffs to 14 teams. As we mentioned in the MMQB, the seeding system will not change: The four division champs will be 1-4 in each conference, and the wild cards will be 5-7, with the bracket reseeded after the wild-card round. Also, the new fifth and sixth games on wild-card weekend will go to NBC and CBS.
