About two weeks after the 54th Super Bowl, the National Football League appears poised to give itself a major facelift, not only adding a game to the schedule, but creating a Wild Card playoff weekend that would be a bonanza for football fans, with six games rather than four, according to a new report by ESPN.com Senior Writer Adam Schefter, published on Wednesday.
The changes would be part of a new CBA — collective bargaining agreement — between NFL owners and the league’s Players Association, the union that represents more than 2,000 professional football players.
