Specifically, Goodell said he would embrace a schedule featuring 18 regular-season games and two preseason contests, a significant shift from the current 17 regular-season and three preseason contests that was implemented in 2021. The move toward 17 games initially faced significant opposition from players, even after owners approved the deal.
