HOUSTON (AP) – Houston Texans owner Bob McNair wants to see the NFL expand its regular season schedule from 16 games to 18.
Talks on expanding the season gained momentum at the owners’ meeting in Atlanta on Wednesday, though the owners held off on voting for a specific proposal that could be presented to the players union.
McNair says moving to an 18-game regular season “makes sense,” while acknowledging that several issues still have to be worked out. But he said Thursday in Houston that he thinks “we can figure out a way to make it work, and everybody will be happy.”
Players have raised concerns about the added grind of extra games on top of an already demanding schedule.
