Pushback on reseeding NFL playoffs? Why proposal to change format makes sense for league
CBSN
The NFL will consider playoff reseeding next week, but don't expect a change for 2025
If Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong were here today, perhaps they would sing "They All Laughed" at the Detroit Lions when they said the NFL playoffs should be reseeded.
Eventually, the Lions and other smart people around the NFL will have the last laugh when the league changes its playoff seeding format. It just may not be next week.
The playoff reseeding proposal, first reported as expected by CBS Sports in January, will again be subject to discussion at next week's league meetings in Minnesota. A vote on the "radical" proposal is possible, but multiple sources indicate it's unlikely the proposal would have the requisite votes to pass for the upcoming 2025 season.
