PITTSBURGH (AP) – Pittsburgh Steelers President Art Rooney says he doesn’t expect the NFL to expand the playoffs by two teams in 2015.
Adding another wild-card team in each conference has been discussed for several years and certainly will be a hot topic at the owners’ meetings in March. But Rooney cast doubt on it happening.
Rooney said Wednesday he is ”not necessarily opposed to the idea of adding a playoff team or adding a team from each conference, but my view on that depends a lot on what goes with it.” He mentioned scheduling, when the game would be played, and how it would affect postseason byes.
”There are things like that that I think we would have to look at and think through before a decision is made on this,” Rooney added, ” and that may be one reason why this is probably not a decision that gets made this year.”
