Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is hopeful that further expansion of the NFL regular-season schedule is forthcoming.
Appearing Friday on 105.3 The Fan (h/t Jon Machota of The Athletic), Jones expressed his belief that while a 20-game regular season is unlikely, an 18-game season could and should happen: “I don’t see that. That’s too many. One more, I see, and I’m a big proponent of it. … I’d like to play two preseason games and 18 regular-season games.”
With the exception of the 1982 and 1987 strike-shortened seasons, the NFL schedule consisted of four preseason games and 16 regular-season games per team from 1978 to 2020.
That changed last season with each team now playing three preseason contests and 17 regular-season games over the course of 18 weeks.
