Here’s the last 10 NFL playoffs brackets under new proposal
Looking back as the NFL looks ahead to a new playoff format, the Los Angeles Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers would have made the playoffs and been in Wild-Card games in 2019.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported:
As part of the proposed new playoff format, only one team from each conference would receive a first-round bye as opposed to the two that currently do, league sources said. That would mean a revised postseason schedule that includes six games on wild-card weekend, with three on Saturday and three on Sunday.
