Every game in Week 2 featured teams that share the same bye week later in the season, which would have allowed these games to be made up on the teams' original byes. Weeks 3 and 4 were set up so that there were no divisional games and that every team at home in Week 3 was away in Week 4 and vice versa. This would have allowed the NFL to cancel these two weeks without eliminating any divisional games and keeping each team's home and away games balanced. These scheduling changes, along with eliminating the week off before the Super Bowl and moving the Super Bowl back three weeks, would have allowed the NFL to play a 14-game schedule beginning October 29 while still playing the Super Bowl in February.<a href="#cite_note-lat20200507-106">[102]</a><a href="#cite_note-wsj20200501-107">[103]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Scheduling_formula">Scheduling formula</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=2020_NFL_season&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Scheduling formula">edit</a>]</div> Under the <a href="/wiki/NFL_scheduling_formula" class="mw-redirect" title="NFL scheduling formula">NFL scheduling formula</a>, each team played the other three teams in its own division twice.
