The NFL has a contingency plan to start the regular season two weeks late and still play a complete schedule. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said there is a plan to postpone Super Bowl XLVI one week and make the time between the conference championship games and Super Bowl one week and not the standard two to leave the entire schedule unchanged. Goodell told this to Browns season ticket holders, according to Tony Grossi of The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Under this scenario, the NFL could kick off the season Thursday, Sept. 22 at Lambeau Field and still have a full slate of games played.
