Amon-Ra St. Brown calls on the NFL for a needed change to what he considers “one of the craziest rules out there”

If Roger Goddell were to restructure the National Football League Playoffs by ditching the present seeding method, it would mean that the Detroit Lions or the Minnesota Vikings might be the fifth seeds, despite the fact that they would have a record comparable to 14-3.

Despite the fact that both clubs have the best and second-best records in the NFC Conference, one of them will have to go through the wild card path in order to qualify for the playoffs. This is because the rule states that each division champion is automatically qualified.Therefore, the person who comes out on the losing end of their match on January 5 will be in a very difficult position. Despite the fact that the Lions have four more victories than the Los Angeles Rams, who are now in first place in the NFC West heading into the final week, St. Brown, who plays for the Lions, is not too impressed.On his podcast, St. Brown stated, “That is one of the most ridiculous rules that can be found anywhere.” There is a need for the National Football League to establish a system in which division champions are automatically qualified for the playoffs.

After that, the seeds were assigned based on the overall records. The four teams that finished in first, second, third, and fourth place shall be assigned the seeds 1-4, in that sequence.

When will the Lions and Vikings play one other?
The Lions and the Vikings will face off against one another on Sunday, January 5 at Ford Field in Detroit. This matchup has the potential to serve as a preview of the NFC Conference Championship game that will take place in 2024/25. The game will begin at 20:20 Eastern Time (ET) or 17:20 Pacific Time (PT).

It is expected that Jared Goff and the Lions would make every effort to ensure that St. Brown remains a viable option for the team. Prior to the Week 18 game, the 25-year-old Pro Bowler had accumulated 1186 receiving yards on 109 receptions and scored 12 touchdowns.

While this is going on, the Vikings and Sam Darnold will find ways to ensure that Justin Jefferson continues to feast on NFL defenses. The receiver, who is signed to a contract worth $140 million, has finished with 1479 yards, 100 receptions, and 10 touchdowns.

During the game that took place on December 22, he had an outstanding performance against the Seattle Seahawks, as he made 144 yards from 10 receptions and scored two touchdowns in a victory that was 27-24.
