    Default NFL competition committee to propose 16-team playoff scenario as pandemic contingency plan, sources say

    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.

    I thought there was already an eight team per conference playoff this year?

    Looking like a bad week, Packers, Ravens and others all with cases popping up.

    Friggin Packers. Jones is hurt and now Jamal Williams on Covid list, which along with McCaffrey and Thomas (NO) being hurt, is killing me in my money league. Grrr!

    The Astros almost made a mockery of the MLB playoffs coming one game short of reaching the World Series while sporting a losing record during the regular season. And the NFL must think it's a great idea.

    The NFL has been doing this for years letting division winners with losing records in. This is nothing new.

    Andy Dalton added to the Covid list. Going to be interesting to see how this week plays out and if games get postpones this weekend.

    This year, even as they increase teams in the playoffs, we might see the absolute worst example of this.

    Broncos are only two games (and wrong side of a tiebreaker) from a wild card spot.

    We are a week or two away from a head coach missing a game. Surprised it hasn't happened yet.
