REPORT: NFL cuts preseason to 2 games (UPDATE: no games)

[TheSpecialJuan]

Profootballtalk's Mike Florio reports the NFL has officially decided to reduce the preseason to two games

The league will reportedly scrap exhibition weeks one and four. It no longer makes sense to play four preseason games in a normal year. With a worldwide pandemic raging, the reduction is a no-brainer for 2020. It could be a coronavirus-induced change that ends up surviving beyond this year. Teams simply no longer take the preseason seriously, with many not even playing their regulars in what has traditionally been a "regular season dress rehearsal" in the third game.

It sure does take a lot for the NFL to change their ways...

Sounds good to me, Panthers won't be getting my money for these dang games this year lol.

They still charge the same $$$ for preseason, so cutting two preseason games is essentially signing up to take a 10% reduction in revenue.

There's not gonna be football this year.

They handle things about as poorly as you can. Always retroactive. They make too much money and have turned into a bunch of house cats.

They've been talking about doing this before the pandemic, why do you care? Any PSL owner would cheer about this.

Looks like we'll get New England at home then.  Eagles will get Miami at home and go to New England.
