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.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.
