The National Football League owners on Tuesday approved extending the regular season by one game to 17 games, while reducing the pre-season by one game to three games.

This will be the first time in 43 years the regular season has been increased, since it went from 14 games to 16 in 1978. Because of the change, the Super Bowl will move back a week next year to February 13.
