Clubs that would not benefit would be two division winners in both the AFC and in the NFC who don't have the best overall record in the conference. Only the top team in each conference would secure a bye, with the No. 2 finisher facing the seventh-ranked team one week after the regular season ends.

"Personally, I think it would be a positive for our game," said Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy, whose Packers won the NFC North at 8-7-1 in 2013.

If you look at the productivity in the NFL from the best team in the league to the last team in the league from a productivity standpoint, there's only a 16 percent difference. Parity's been evident in our game for a long time. I think giving another team an opportunity, I'm for it, I think it's the right thing to do."
