Jerry Jones calls for playoff expansion

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says that he would like to see more teams included in the playoffs.

Jerry Jones has said that he would like to see more teams involved in the NFL playoffs.

Currently, just two wildcard teams from each conference join the eight divisional champions in the post-season.

The Dallas Cowboys owner told 105.3 The Fan: "From the standpoint of looking at how exciting it is for a city or a community to be involved in the playoffs and the fact that you can have a team that might have literally operated at .500 or in that area, you can have that team win the Super Bowl.

"That makes a big case for adding a couple of more cities or communities that have NFL teams to the playoffs. It just creates that much more excitement and that much more interest for people in those communities. So I fall on the side of the ledger that would increase the playoffs."

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has previously indicated that the league would be interested in including more teams in the playoffs.
