If the NFL decides to extend the season, it will almost assuredly push the playoffs back, which means the Super Bowl would be played in mid-February while the AFC and NFC Championship games would move into February from their current January dates.
That's good news for the television networks since February is a sweeps month, and it's one of those deals that will also be fine for fans. It's a simple formula: More football=good.
But one of the possible side effects of such a move could end up being one of the dumber moves the NFL could make. According to the Sports Business Journal, there's a possibility the NFL might move the championship games to neutral sites because of the potential for bad weather in Northern cities in early February.
