One of the more transformative rule proposals up for vote at the Spring League Meeting is no longer in play.
The Lions withdrew their playoff reseeding proposal on Wednesday, NFL Network Senior National Columnist Judy Battista reported.
Detroit's proposal was to amend the current playoff seeding format to allow wild-card teams to be seeded higher than division champions if the wild-card team has a better regular-season record. Under that format, the division champion with the best record would be seeded No. 1 and thereafter the remaining six seeds would be determined strictly by record, regardless of division finish.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport added that the proposal didn't have the necessary support but could be re-visited for a potential 18-game season.
The proposed playoff format revamp was among the biggest potential changes at this year's Spring League Meeting.
