Joe Flacco, now with the Cincinnati Bengals at age 41, has played 209 games over his 18-season NFL career. He expresses concerns about the NFL's potential expansion to an 18-game regular season, questioning if this could lead to even longer seasons of 20 or 22 games. Flacco argues that while the league may benefit financially from increased games, the physical toll on players could compromise the quality of football, especially during playoffs. He points out that teams may enter the postseason at only 75 percent capacity due to fatigue and injuries from an extended schedule. Reflecting on the past, Flacco notes the competitiveness of the 16-game season format, suggesting it provided a better balance for both players and fans.
