Goodell on playoff expansion: 'That is under serious consideration'
Excerpt:
Last week, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said that he would be in favor of expanding the playoffs. On Tuesday, commissioner Roger Goodell said that playoff expansion could be in the NFL's future.
"That is under serious consideration," he said during an interview with former Associated Press White House correspondent Ben Feller (via NFL.com). "We think it's one of the great things about the NFL, besides the fact that it's unscripted. Every team and their fans start the season with hope. You mentioned the fact that for 11 straight years we've had a team go from last to first, that's unique to professional football and the NFL, that doesn't happen in other sports. And that's because we have such a competitive league and we want to keep that."
