NFL scheduler admits to avoiding Browns-Texans matchup in Week 1
One NFL scheduling executive admitted that his department looked to avoid a specific matchup in Week 1.
Vice President of NFL Broadcast Planning & Scheduling Mike North joined Adam Schein on “Schein on Sports” on Mad Dog Sports Radio on Friday. In the interview, Schein asked North whether the scheduling department took into account a potential Deshaun Watson suspension when making the schedule.
North said they did not do so because they don’t have any information about whether Watson will be suspended, and if so, when the suspension will take place.
