Had this been in effect last year, the Packers would have hosted the Rams and the Chiefs would have hosted the Steelers during Wild Card Weekend rather than getting Byes. The 49ers and Ravens still would have gotten Byes.
I'm not sure how good an idea this is. As a Rams fan, sure, they would have been a playoff team technically, but I'm not sure what kind of realistic chance to advance they would have had, particularly with the O-Line issues.
