Despite the Lions withdrawing their proposal, the NFL’s outdated playoff format still needs to be changed.
The NFL playoff format is criticized as outdated and illogical, with division winners hosting wild-card games despite having worse records than their opponents. A recent proposal to determine playoff seeding by the best records was withdrawn by the Lions. The current format has led to instances where teams with worse records host playoff games, affecting the fairness of the competition. The value of home-field advantage is highlighted, and examples of teams with 12-plus wins that did not win the division struggling in the playoffs are given. The NFL is urged to update its playoff format to ensure fairness and avoid similar scenarios in the future.
