The NFL competition committee expects to present a resolution to owners that includes a 16-team playoff scenario in the event games are lost because of the coronavirus pandemic, league sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

The contingency plan -- which could become more likely as bye weeks disappear -- would feature eight playoff teams from each conference.

The competition committee met via video conference Monday, according to sources.

The contingency, if necessary, would take four division champions and four wild-card teams from both the AFC and NFC. The playoff seeds would be 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, 3 vs. 6 and 4 vs. 5.

NFL team owners already had approved a plan in March to expand the postseason to 14 teams beginning with the 2020 season. That plan increased the number of wild-card teams per conference to three, up from two.

Apparently it's not possible for you to have a conversation without bringing up the word retarded.

You need to work on your intellectual inadequacy issues.

Stop being retarded, and I'll stop pointing it out.
 
Yeah....but what EXACTLY would trigger this contingency?

I get games lost due to COVID. But exactly how many and how?

Sounds like a true doomsday and would essentially be a end of year tournament. I could be fine with that, but only in such a worse case. Otherwise...GTFO.
 
More playoff football.....yeah!!!!
 
If this happens, playoff teams look like from each division:

AFC
Bills - Dolphins
Steelers - Ravens (Browns could but the Raiders just beat them out of it)
Titans - Colts
Chiefs - Raiders

NFC
Eagles
Packers - Bears
Bucs - Saints
Seahawks - Cardinals - Rams (49ers probably screwed by injuries)
