Barring 17th game rotations, an AFC-NFC matchup occurs once per 4 years, and per 8 years going by stadium. I get not using divisional matchups either because the “road” team would get a season advantage.
But can anybody explain to me why the NFL doesn’t just use non-divisional conference games that happened last year?
For example: NO @ GB happened last season. It’s happening again this season. And while I’m sure neither fanbase would be happy about this being a foreign game, at least the NFL choosing it would be logically sound.
