With only one bye in each conference in the NFL’s new playoff format, it is worth noting this: every Super Bowl participant for the past seven seasons has received a bye. The last team to make it that far without a bye was the 2012 Baltimore Ravens.

Cool. Now all they need is a regular season.

It's now going to be a triple header on Saturday and Sunday, but it's only a matter of time before they go to 16 teams.

Eventually, you will see Friday night and Monday night playoff games on wildcard weekend. The argument will be that it's not fair that only one team per conference gets a bye week.
