After thinking on it, it would be kinda cool if they develop permanent cross-conference “rivalries” to play every year similar to the permanent division rivalries in the SEC. And given that the NFL season is several games longer and interconference matchups don’t have many postseason implications, I think it would be much easier to support.
Just off the top of my head, the Giants and Jets should have a “battle of New York” each year. The Raiders and Niners don’t make as much sense now, but that would’ve been another good one pre-Raiders move. The Steelers and Cowboys are still a classic matchup that most folks would tune into.
And for the lesser knowns, I wouldn’t mind seeing the Titans take on the Falcons or Panthers each year, just to build up a regional rivalry.
There’s a lot of things they can do with a 17-game format. I’ve also heard mentions of having every team play a London game and having that extra “neutral” site game cancel out the odd number of home/away.

Jaguars/Panthers
Texans/Cowboys
Bills/Lions
Ravens/WFT
Browns/Bears
Raiders/Cardinals
Chiefs/Saints
Colts/Packers
Bengals/Vikings
Broncos/49ers
Patriots/Seahawks
Pats/Seattle is really the dumb one but I only got 7 west coast teams lol
That would actually be a really cool idea. Bonus for the NY and LA teams, they don't have to go anywhere that week.
Pat/Seahawks at least I guess have a very minor Super Bowl rivalry.
Ravens/WFT needs to happen in more than the preseasonLet’s see if I can do this
Steelers/Eagles

Titans/Falcons
Dolphins/Bucs
Jaguars/Panthers

Jmo, but the young guy should let theNot that it matters with the Pittman/wentz number issue. But from what I read
Pittman has only worn 11 for one year, he never worn that number in high school or college while Wentz has always worn 11 his whole career.
