Earlier this week, NFL officials met with executives from CBS and Fox, trying to convince them to agree to some flexibility for the final four weeks of the regular season. "The league will use the same format as in the past for Monday Night Football," an NFL source said Wednesday on condition of anonymity. The schedule will be a bit different, though. With the addition of the Texans, the NFL will have 32 teams grouped in eight four-team divisions.
