There's still a chance that the playoff format could undergo a major change for the 2025 season and a big reason that might happen is because Roger Goodell apparently wants it to happen. Last week, the NFL commissioner said the postseason format was something that the league definitely needed to evaluate.

The Detroit Lions may not have been along in their push to change the NFL's seeding rules, according to a report Sunday by Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio. The Lions proposed changing the seeding structure of the league's playoffs to favor a team's overall record over its place in the division.

For years (actually decades), the Competition Committee has served as the primary generator of potential NFL rule changes.
