\"Lions(Image via Getty: Amon-Ra St. Brown and Justin Jefferson) Both the Minnesota Vikings of Justin Jefferson and the Detroit Lions of Amon-Ra St. Brown scored 14-2 in the 2024 NFL season. They were up against each other next. Whoever won would get a bye week and home-field advantage throughout the postseason. But who lost? Had to compete again with a 10-7(Tampa Bay Buccaneers) or 9-8(Atlanta Falcons) in the wild-card round and start their playoff journey. It seems all too confusing. However, the wide receivers who faced it last year tried their level best to voice out their concerns.<\/p>\n

Amon-Ra St. Brown was not happy with the NFL Playoffs rule<\/p>\n

Back in January 2025, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown wanted the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, to change NFL rules. Which rule in particular? He voiced his opinion on his own podcast\u2013St. Brown Podcast, \u201cIt\u2019s crazy. I think the rule should be changed. Obviously, if you win the division, you should obviously make a playoff spot. But having a 14-win team having to go on the road is kind of crazy. But I guess I don\u2019t make the rules. Hopeful we can get a win and get home-field advantage, but whatever happens, we(Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings) both have a spot in the playoffs\u2013so we might see each other again after this game.\u201dSeven months later, Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson speaks the same language.<\/p>\n

Justin Jefferson wants wild-card teams to have a home-field advantage<\/p>\n

Talking to Jason Fitz of Yahoo Sports, the wide receiver said, \u201cWith the season that we had last year, to go, and play with\u2013it definitely was a little different. It definitely needs to be taken into consideration and something that we need to figure out because having 14 wins normally\u2013doesn\u2019t go to play away in the playoffs. We definitely had the opportunity to play home-field advantage, with the last game in Detroit, but even losing that, we still felt like we should have had home-field advantage. But even not having home-field advantage is never an excuse. It\u2019s something we had to deal with, and we wish we had home-field advantage, but it is what it is.\u201dAlso Read: \u201cLove you\u201d: 4-time Super Bowl Champion Joe Montana called up his wife Jennifer from the NFL sidelines after winning | NFL News – Times of India<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Image via Getty: Amon-Ra St. Brown and Justin Jefferson) Both the Minnesota Vikings of Justin Jefferson and the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":219781,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2073],"tags":[12275,4566,113,7,45796,2780,233,259,2529,6,45795,45797,1902,234,18980],"class_list":{"0":"post-219780","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-minnesota-vikings","8":"tag-2024-nfl-season","9":"tag-amon-ra-st-brown","10":"tag-detroit-lions","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-home-field-advantage","13":"tag-justin-jefferson","14":"tag-minnesota","15":"tag-minnesota-vikings","16":"tag-minnesotavikings","17":"tag-nfl","18":"tag-nfl-playoffs-rules","19":"tag-nfl-standings","20":"tag-roger-goodell","21":"tag-vikings","22":"tag-wild-card-teams"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114880669687245787","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219780"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219780\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
