NEW YORK - The National Football League is forming contingency plans in case its schedule of games needs to be altered, Sports Business Daily reported on Monday , including season openers more than a month later than expected and pushing back the Super Bowl by as much as three weeks.
According to the report, the opening slate of regular-season games could be moved all the way back to Oct 15, which is currently set as the start to Week 6. The Super Bowl in Tampa, Florida, could be moved from Feb 7 all the way back to Feb 28. Also under consideration is the elimination of the bye week for each team, skipping the Pro Bowl and the elimination of the extra week between the NFC and AFC championship games.
Two early-season slates of games could be moved to the back end of the season, said the report. Another week reportedly could feature match-ups only of teams with the same bye week, so if bye weeks are eliminated, those contests could be made up with minimal disruption.
