The NFL is considering a plan to expand the regular season from 16 to 17 games a season, according to CBS Sports. That would mean not just one extra week, but two extra weeks during the season as NFL teams wil get two bye weeks instead of one under the NFL's plan. "The proposal includes Week 1 still beginning after Labor Day, and the Super Bowl concluding the final Sunday of February (which could be bad news for The Oscars)," reports CBS Sports' Jason LaCanfora. "It would allow the NFL to have playoff games on air throughout the month of February -- critical sweeps weeks for its broadcast partners -- and would include two byes for each team."

When it comes to sports especially when big sporting events such as the Super Bowl come around it's usually ratings that help the sporting event be a huge success. If NFL could move the Super Bowl to March instead of February it would do better because February is a big huge month in TV with specials devoted to Valentine's Day and The Oscars March would do well for the Super Bowl. I have never figured out why February became Super Bowl month because the Super Bowl used to be at the end of January and moving the Super Bowl would be a smart idea indeed
