NFL Forbids Chiefs From Creating Their Own Schedule Again Next Season

"We felt it wasn’t in the best interests of the league to invite Kansas City’s upper management back to the NFL front office next April to choose their opponents, the order in which they play those opponents, each week’s kickoff time, and the location of every game. Letting the Chiefs select the absolute easiest schedule possible ultimately reflects poorly on the NFL as a whole, and was clearly an abuse of the privilege." Goodell also noted that the league may allow the Jacksonville Jaguars to choose their schedule next season, but admitted to reporters "it probably won’t make a difference anyway."
