{{NFL Team Maps 2017–19}}The 2019 NFL season was the 100th season of the National Football League (NFL) and the 54th of the Super Bowl era. The season began on September 5, 2019, with the NFL Kickoff Game, in which the Green Bay Packers defeated the Chicago Bears. The season concluded with Super Bowl LIV, the league’s championship game, on February 2, 2020, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, in which the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Kansas City Chiefs defeated the National Football Conference (NFC) champion San Francisco 49ers, to win their second Super Bowl championship. This was also the final NFL season with the 12-team playoff format, as 2 more teams were added to the annual NFL Playoffs as of the 2020 NFL season.The 2019 season was also the last season for the Oakland Raiders after playing in Oakland for 47 non-consecutive years before their relocation to Las Vegas for 2020 with the completion of Allegiant Stadium. The Raiders were previously approved for relocation in March 2017 but spent the last two seasons at RingCentral Coliseum.

Teams were required to be under the salary cap using the “Top 51” definition (in which the team’s 51 highest-paid players must have a combined salary cap).

Rule changes

The following rule changes were approved for the 2019 season at the NFL owners’ meeting on March 26:PRESS RELEASE, Approved 2019 Playing Rules,operations.nfl.com/updates/football-ops/approved-2019-playing-rules-from-nfl-annual-meeting/, Staff writers, National Football League, NFL Football Operations, March 26, 2019, March 26, 2019, March 27, 2019,web.archive.org/web/20190327024323/https://operations.nfl.com/updates/football-ops/approved-2019-playing-rules-from-nfl-annual-meeting/, live,
  • Make permanent the experimental kickoff rules from the {{NFL year|2018}} season.
  • Abolish all blindside blocks anywhere on the field (personal foul, 15 yards).
  • As a one-year experiment, make the following plays reviewable, subject to coaches’ challenges outside of the final 2:00 of each half, and subject to booth review after the two-minute warning of each half or entire overtime:
    • Pass interference, whether called or not (modified in June 2019)
    • Scoring plays and turnovers negated by penalties.
    • Any extra point or two-point conversion attempt.
  • Change how double fouls are enforced after a change in possession; the last team to possess retains the ball at the spot of enforcement. If the enforcement spot is after a touchback, the ball is placed at the 20-yard line (after punt or turnover) or 25-yard line (free kick). If the spot of enforcement is in the end zone, the ball is placed at the 1-yard line.
  • Make scrimmage kick rules apply if a missed field goal is touched in the end zone before hitting the ground, and if the ball is touched by either team behind the line of scrimmage.
  • Allow teams to enforce a personal foul or unsportsmanlike conduct penalty committed during a touchdown on either the try or on the ensuing kickoff. Previously, these fouls were required to be enforced on the ensuing kickoff.
  • Individuals not in uniform who enter the field to celebrate a play will draw an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty (15 yards, and automatic first down if on the defensive team).
  • Players who make any flagrant “football” play risk immediate disqualification. Previously, this was limited to players who make a flagrant “non-football” play.
An additional rule change was built upon a rule originally passed in 2018. The NFL limited helmets to a list of 34 league-approved models, up from the 23 originally approved in 2018. The grandfather clause allowing existing players to wear their previous non-approved helmets expired, and 32 players were required to change helmets.WEB,www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/tom-brady-among-32-players-who-just-had-their-helmets-officially-banned-by-the-nfl/, Tom Brady among 32 players who just had their helmets officially banned by the NFL, John, Breech, CBS Sports, April 12, 2019, April 18, 2019, April 18, 2019,web.archive.org/web/20190418122756/https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/tom-brady-among-32-players-who-just-had-their-helmets-officially-banned-by-the-nfl/, live, In May 2019, the NFL banned Oklahoma drills, “bull in the ring”, and other high-contact drills from team practices.WEB,profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/05/22/nfl-bans-certain-old-school-training-camp-drills/, Mike, Florio, NFL bans certain old-school training-camp drills, Profootballtalk.com, NBC Sports, May 22, 2019, May 22, 2019, May 23, 2019,web.archive.org/web/20190523064406/https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/05/22/nfl-bans-certain-old-school-training-camp-drills/, live, In June 2019, the league clarified March 2019 temporary rule change regarding reviews of pass interference plays as follows:PRESS RELEASE,operations.nfl.com/updates/football-ops/competition-committee-finalizes-replay-rule-for-2019-season/, Competition Committee Finalizes Replay Rule for 2019 season, Staff writers, NFL Football Operations, June 20, 2019, June 21, 2019, June 21, 2019,web.archive.org/web/20190621135305/https://operations.nfl.com/updates/football-ops/competition-committee-finalizes-replay-rule-for-2019-season/, live,
  • The initial rule passed in March 2019 regarding review of pass interference stays.
  • A ruling will only be changed if there is clear and obvious evidence that pass interference did or did not occur (as is the standard for any other replay review).
  • All pass plays are subject to review for pass interference, including the “Hail Mary” play.

Regular season

The 2019 regular season’s 256 games were played over a 17-week schedule that began on September 5, 2019. Each of the league’s 32 teams played a 16-game schedule, with one bye week for each team. There were games on Monday nights and on Thursdays, including the National Football League Kickoff game and games on Thanksgiving Day. The regular season concluded with a full slate of 16 games on December 29, all of which were intra-division matchups, as it had been since {{nfly|2010}}.

Scheduling formula

Under the NFL’s current scheduling formula, each team played the other three teams in its own division twice. In addition, teams played against all four teams in one other division from each conference. The final two games on a team’s schedule were against the two remaining teams in the same conference that had finished in the same position in their respective divisions in 2018 (e.g., the team that finished fourth in its division played all three other teams in the conference that also finished fourth). The division parings for 2019 were as follows:{| border=0 style="margin: 0 0 0 1.5;” valign=“top“|    Intra-conferenceAFC East vs AFC NorthAFC West vs AFC SouthNFC East vs NFC NorthNFC West vs NFC SouthAFC East vs NFC EastAFC North vs NFC WestAFC South vs NFC SouthAFC West vs NFC NorthThe entire schedule was released on April 17, 2019.Highlights of the 2019 season included:

Scheduling changes

When the entire season schedule was released on April 17, the league announced Saturday games to be played in Week 16. On November 12, the NFL announced that three games would be moved from Sunday to Saturday

Brown then accepted the new helmet model and returned to practice, but later wore inadequate footwear in a cryogenic chamber and got frostbite on his feet, causing additional concern for his availability in Week 1.WEB,www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/antonio-brown-helmet-issue-explained-nfl-rules-raiders-options-contract/nd165z394jfw1pmgw0f6mc1nn, Explaining Antonio Brown’s helmet issue: What are the NFL’s rules, Raiders’ options, AB’s contract?, September 9, 2019, Haislop, Tadd, Sporting News, September 9, 2019, September 22, 2019,web.archive.org/web/20190922175233/https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/antonio-brown-helmet-issue-explained-nfl-rules-raiders-options-contract/nd165z394jfw1pmgw0f6mc1nn, live, Brown next released recorded audio of Raiders head coach Jon Gruden and requested that the Raiders release him.

Patriots videotaping controversy

During the December 8 game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns, the New England Patriots were alleged to have spied on the Bengals’ sideline.

This was the third and final season for the Los Angeles Chargers at Dignity Health Sports Park and the fourth and final season for the Los Angeles Rams at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Both teams moved to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, starting in 2020.

Bills’ potential for relocation

A buyout window in the Buffalo Bills’ lease on New Era Field opened after the 2019 season. The window allowed the team to cancel its lease on the stadium for a $28 million fee and relocate. If the Bills chose not to exercise the buyout window, they will not be allowed to relocate until after the 2022 season, when the current lease expires.NEWS, Precious, Tom, Bills agree to lease deal with $130 million in stadium upgrades,www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20121221/CITYANDREGION/121229867/1109, January 2, 2013, The Buffalo News, December 21, 2012, December 24, 2012,www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20121221%2FCITYANDREGION%2F121229867%2F1109," title="web.archive.org/web/20121224103944www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20121221%2FCITYANDREGION%2F121229867%2F1109,">web.archive.org/web/20121224103944www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20121221%2FCITYANDREGION%2F121229867%2F1109, live, The Bills chose not to exercise the buyout.

Broncos’ naming rights

On September 4, the Denver Broncos’ home field was rebranded as Empower Field at Mile High. The Broncos had been seeking a long-term naming rights partner for their home field since sporting goods retailer Sports Authority went bankrupt in {{nfly|2016}}. Empower Retirement, a retirement plan provider that is based in Denver, had served as a team sponsor since {{nfly|2015}}, with the Broncos agreeing to terms on a 21-year deal that will run through 2039, though financial terms were not disclosed. This marks the third naming rights change for the Broncos’ home field, following “Invesco Field at Mile High” (2001–2010), “Sports Authority Field at Mile High” (2011–2017) and “Broncos Stadium at Mile High” – the latter of which was used on a temporary basis for {{nfly|2018}}.PRESS RELEASE, Broncos agree to terms with Empower Retirement on 21-year deal to name stadium ‘Empower Field at Mile High’,www.denverbroncos.com/news/broncos-agree-to-terms-with-empower-retirement-on-21-year-deal-to-name-stadium-e, Denver Broncos, September 4, 2019, September 4, 2019, September 4, 2019,web.archive.org/web/20190904220405/https://www.denverbroncos.com/news/broncos-agree-to-terms-with-empower-retirement-on-21-year-deal-to-name-stadium-e, live,

The Raiders’ lease on the Coliseum expired after the 2018 season. The Coliseum management expressed a reluctance to allow the Raiders to continue using the Coliseum after the lease expired unless the team paid more to cover the losses the Coliseum incurred by hosting Raiders games. In December 2018, the city of Oakland filed a lawsuit against the Raiders and the NFL seeking financial damages and unpaid debt, claiming the relocation was illegal but not asking for an injunction forcing the team to stay. The Raiders stated that if any legal action was filed against them, that they would not renew with the Coliseum and find another, undetermined, temporary home for 2019 until Allegiant Stadium was finished.WEB,www.wsj.com/articles/oakland-files-lawsuit-against-raiders-nfl-11544566856, Oakland Files Lawsuit Against Raiders, NFL, Andrew, Beaton, The Wall Street Journal, December 11, 2018, December 11, 2018, December 12, 2018,web.archive.org/web/20181212031034/https://www.wsj.com/articles/oakland-files-lawsuit-against-raiders-nfl-11544566856, live, The Raiders then attempted to negotiate a lease with Oracle Park in San Francisco before the San Francisco 49ers vetoed the plan as an infringement on their territorial rights.WEB,www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001017121/article/raiders-not-expected-to-play-in-san-francisco-in-2019, Raiders not expected to play in San Francisco in 2019, Shook, Nick, NFL.com, NFL Enterprises, LLC., February 5, 2019, February 12, 2019, February 9, 2019,www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001017121/article/raiders-not-expected-to-play-in-san-francisco-in-2019," title="web.archive.org/web/20190209203520www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001017121/article/raiders-not-expected-to-play-in-san-francisco-in-2019,">web.archive.org/web/20190209203520www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001017121/article/raiders-not-expected-to-play-in-san-francisco-in-2019, live, With the 49ers refusing to waive territorial rights, the Raiders were forced to either renegotiate with the ColiseumMAGAZINE,www.si.com/nfl/2019/02/09/raiders-negotiating-play-oakland-coliseum-2019-season, Report: Raiders Negotiating to Play at Oakland Coliseum in 2019, Jones, Kaelen, Sports Illustrated, February 9, 2019, February 12, 2019, February 12, 2019,web.archive.org/web/20190212070505/https://www.si.com/nfl/2019/02/09/raiders-negotiating-play-oakland-coliseum-2019-season, live, or find a temporary stadium outside the San Francisco Bay Area (something that the Raiders management was reluctant to do, though the team acknowledged and considered bids from San Antonio, Texas, and Tucson, Arizona).

This was the sixth year under the current broadcast contracts with ESPN/ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC. This includes “cross-flexing” (switching) Sunday afternoon games between CBS and Fox before or during the season (regardless of the conference of the visiting team). NBC airs Sunday Night Football, the annual Kickoff Game, and the primetime Thanksgiving game. ESPN airs Monday Night Football and the Pro Bowl with the latter being simulcast on ABC. Fox airs Thursday Night Football along with NFL Network, with Amazon Video and Twitch continuing to simulcast those games online in the second and final year of the two sites’ current contract. Fox will also broadcast Super Bowl LIV in English, with Fox Deportes aired the game in Spanish .
