    Playoff seeding stays the same

    Wednesday started with the Lions withdrawing their proposal to overhaul the way the NFL seeds teams for the playoffs.

    The league currently makes the four division winners in each conference the top four seeds. Detroit wanted to change that so a wild-card team with a better record than a division winner would get home-field advantage in the first round.

    Raiders owner Mark Davis was against the proposal. He believed it could penalize teams that play in a stacked division, while a second-place team in a weaker division could have a better record simply because it played easier opponents.

    Many of Davis’ colleagues agreed. The proposal didn’t even make it to a vote.

    NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday that owners could still consider a different seeding format in the future.

    “I think they are interested potentially in looking at some type of reseeding,” Goodell said.
