Did you know that the schedule people has made over 10,000 NFL schedules! This year they finally come down to 60. Schedule makers didn't know the Broncos from the Chargers, nor they knew the Superdome to the Georgia Dome. It was all mixed up untill this year!
Back in the 40's to the early 70's, the NFL players were only paid 5,000 dollars a season!
Starting in 1978, the NFL regular season made it a 17 game season NOT including a bye week. In 1982 the NFL commisioner said that every team in the NFL HAD to have a bye week. In 1983, the NFL skipped 9 weeks because of the strike, and every team went 2-8.
