Packers' Murphy Confirms Super Bowl Could Be Pushed To March

Super Bowl LV "could be pushed back all the way to March if games keep getting postponed," according to John Breech of CBSSPORTS.com. Packers President & CEO Mark Murphy "revealed that information during a virtual pep rally that the team held before playing the Buccaneers on Sunday." Murphy said, "We could move the Super Bowl as far as four weeks. Obviously, we'd prefer not to do that, but you do have that flexibility if we run into a number of outbreaks with different teams or if we have to kind of move the schedule back." Breech noted there were "multiple reports before the season suggesting that the NFL would be willing to move the Super Bowl back a few weeks, but Murphy is the first front office member to confirm that on the record." For the game to be played in March, it "would obviously have to be a worst-case scenario, but after what the league's been through so far this season, it's definitely not something that can be ruled out." Murphy "did point out that the NFL will be doing its best to avoid having to play a Week 18." Murphy: "We'd prefer not to, we'd like to play as much as possible (with) the schedule as it sits now." On the other hand, if an 18th week "has to happen, the league is ready" (CBSSPORTS.com, 10/20).
