Revolutionizing the NFL Season: Can a New Idea Boost Pro Bowl Ratings and Keep Players Healthy?

The NFL season is around the corner, and fans are excited for an action-packed seven months of football excitement. But with the increased demand and schedule expansion, player health is a major concern. Can a revolutionary idea boost Pro Bowl ratings and keep players healthy?

A Thrilling NFL Season Ahead: Can a Revolutionary Idea Boost Pro Bowl Ratings?

The NFL regular season is just around the corner, and fans are gearing up for what promises to be an action-packed seven months of football excitement. With 272 regular season games (17 per team) and an incredible three playoff rounds plus the Super Bowl, the NFL delivers an incredible amount of football excitement.

Physically, it’s extremely challenging for players to stay healthy throughout the entire season. Many players expressed concerns in 2021 when the NFL expanded the schedule from 16 to 17 games per team, and now there’s talk of adding yet another game to make it 18. This increased demand pushes the limits of physical endurance to levels that few athletes can sustain.

Joe Burrow of the Bengals has a solution to keep players healthy and boost Pro Bowl ratings.

Joe Burrow of the Bengals mentioned on “Pardon My Take” that if the NFL extends to 18 games, there should be two bye weeks. He suggested that one of these bye weeks should be around Week 13 for the entire NFL, with Pro Bowl festivities during that week, like the NBA’s All-Star weekend. This change could boost Pro Bowl ratings, which have been low in recent years despite various modifications.

Supply and Demand

The idea seems beneficial as it aims to keep players healthy for the final stretch of the season, ensuring top performances as teams push for the playoffs. The continuous demand from fans has led the NFL to explore new ways to engage audiences, including streaming two games on Netflix. Alongside the traditional Thanksgiving Day games, there will now be games on Black Friday and Christmas, continuing a trend from the past two years.

NFL International Games The NFL season will feature five international games, starting with the first-ever game in Brazil.

Adding to the challenge is the increasing number of international games, which require long travel and add to players’ fatigue. This season will feature five international games, starting with the first-ever game in Brazil in Week 1 between Green Bay and Philadelphia. There will also be three games in London and a final game in Germany for the third consecutive season.

A Thrilling Season Opener

The season opener will be a rematch of last year’s AFC Championship Game between the Chiefs and Ravens in Kansas City. This matchup features the league’s last two MVPs, Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson, in what could be a playoff preview and a thrilling rematch of the last AFC Championship game.
