NFL Updates Playoff Format, Last Wild Card Game To Be Played On A Monday
The NFL has just announced an update to their playoff format. Building on last year’s expansion, which featured an additional Wild Card team in each Conference, the NFL released a statement noting that this season’s Super Wild Card weekend (January 15-17) will conclude with a game being played on a Monday.
As such there will be two Wild Card games on Saturday, three on Sunday and one on Monday.
