The NFL is looking to increase the number of regular season games in the near future. The league has struggled to build the perfect schedule for this, but it seems like Joe Burrow has devised a flawless plan to implement an 18-game campaign.

In recent years, the NFL has tried to add more games to its usual schedule, arguing that fans want to see more football. However, they seem to be overlooking the main characters of the game: the players.

Since learning about the league’s intentions to increase the number of regular season games, several players have expressed their opposition. However, Joe Burrow has helped the NFL by developing a new schedule that avoids harming the players.

Nevertheless, several players have blatantly rejected this idea. Most of them argue that they wouldn’t have enough rest to face the playoffs. However, Joe Burrow has found the perfect plan to add one more week to the schedule.

The quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals addressed this matter during an interview on Pardon My Take. He was asked about the possibility of adding one more game to the regular season and gave a straightforward response.

“Gotta have two bye weeks,” Burrow answered. “And I think it’d be cool to do normal bye weeks like it is now. Have it spread out. But then, like, Week 13, do the Pro Bowl break. Where you have the 7-on-7 and all the skills challenges, like the NBA does. Because I think that would give more ratings for the Pro Bowl and then it would also give everybody that bye week going into the last six games of the year.”

Burrow’s idea is very simple, but effective. The Pro Bowl has struggled lately to attract more attention. Despite the league’s efforts to introduce more dynamic activities each year, fans remain uninterested in this weekend.

“And then you have guys that are injured that would be able to potentially come back,” Burrow said. “And you want your best players out there as a league. You want them out there the last six weeks of the season. You want your best players on the field. So I think that would be a smart idea.”
