BREAKING NEWSDetroit Lions drop proposal to change NFL playoff format in 2025
By ALEX RASKIN
The Detroit Lions have dropped their proposal to change the way the NFL seeds playoff teams after seeing a divisional rival forced to play against on the road in the postseason against a team with an inferior record.
The now-dead playoff proposal would have led to significant changes last season when Minnesota had to go on the road for a wild-card game against the Rams despite winning four more games than Los Angeles in the regular season. The Vikings would have hosted a game as the third seed under the proposal.
The Chargers also went on the road as a wild-card team against division-winning Houston despite having one additional win.
Under the abandoned proposal, the first tiebreaker among tied teams would have been based on winning the division.
