Just start the playoffs 1 week later and get rid of that stupid 2 week gap before the superbowl.
In all of professional sports, the
2 week gap before the superbowl is the most stupid Professional Sports policy out there in any sport.
Perfect time to get rid of the useless gap that causes a loss of momentum and creates unnecessary boredom.
The other ideas like playing the AFC championship at a neutral site or giving the highest seed the option of having that game at home or a first round bye are not good ideas. Getting rid of that stupid 2 weeks is a great idea.
