While it can't happen anytime soon, there's a possibility of the NFL hosting the championship internationally one day.

The NFL has stood at 32 teams since the Texans’ 2002 entrance. That expansion effort realigned the divisions and schedule, and the league has expressed satisfaction with the symmetry created. No expansion is likely in the near future, but how the league next expands will eventually become a more important topic.

Goodell can likely expect questions Monday about progress on an 18-game season, the state of officiating, rules changes and more.
