Ahead of a scheduled vote at the NFL spring meeting in Minnesota on Wednesday, a significant proposal was reportedly rescinded.

Shortly before the owners meeting began, the Detroit Lions have withdrawn their proposal to re-seed playoff teams after the first round.

The Lions' proposal sought to reward teams with better regular-season records. Under the current playoff-seeding system, a division winner with a 10-7 record would be seeded higher than a wild-card team that went 14-3. Despite having a better record, that wild-card team would have to go on the road for its first playoff game.
