The NFL has had to postpone games and alter the 2020 schedule as a result of multiple COVID-19 outbreaks in the last couple weeks.

There is some uncertainty as to how the pandemic will continue to alter the course of the season. In fact, Commissioner Roger Goodell hinted Tuesday the NFL could look to push back the planned date for the Super Bowl, if necessary.

Goodell noted the league still hopes to finish the regular season on time, but is also keeping all options on the table:

“If there’s one consistent theme to our season, it’s flexibility and adapting,” Goodell said, via Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

Goodell had a fairly identical answer when asked whether the NFL would consider adding a Week 18 to the schedule or not.

Of course, adding a Week 18 would be one thing. But moving the Super Bowl could have massive ramifications.

For example, companies and advertisers began plotting bids for Super Bowl ad space well in advance. It seems likely the networks would ensure any purchased ad space would roll over to the new date. But will the ads still be as timely?

Additionally, depending on how far back the league pushes the “Big Game” it might change the league calendar year (notably the start of free agency) for 2021.

First and foremost, however, the NFL is hoping all 32 organizations show more accountability and take steps to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The league has come down hard on coaches for failing to wear masks and has even considered instituting penalties for this kind of misconduct. Players have also been fined for failing to follow protocol even off the field.

In any case, Goodell does not feel anything is set in stone for the 2020 season.
