Could the NFL’s 18-Game Season Become a Dangerous Game Changer for Player Safety?
“If we got to 18 and 2 (preseason games), that’s not an unreasonable thing,” Goodell said. “The other thing it does, (Super Bowl Sunday) ends on up Presidents’ Day weekend, which is a three-day weekend, which makes it Sunday night and then you have Monday off.”
Whatâs standing in the way? Well, there is that little issue of the NFL Players Association and its concern over the safety of its players.
Many players have expressed opposition to a potential 18-game regular-season schedule for that reason. And there has been speculation the players are certain to do some negotiating with the league before agreeing to another game.
