Yep! Only starting last year I believe, did they add an extra non-conference game. Due to the extra 17th game. Before that, it was on a 4 year cycle. Which it still is of course, just the added 1 that could potentially happen and cause them to play sooner.
If things really get crazy they could of course meet in the Super Bowl. And lastly at astronomical odds, if there was division realignment. Like how some years back, Tampa Bay moved from the NFC North (which made total sense right?) And Seattle from the AFC, to the NFC. It shouldn’t happen, but will get interesting if the NFL does decide to add a few expansion franchises in the future.

Reply to comment by SoCalThrowAway7 in [Garafolo] The Saints are closing in on a deal with QB Derek Carr, sources tell me and Ian Rapoport. After nine seasons with the Raiders, the four-time Pro Bowl selection is headed to New Orleans. The first QB domino is about to fall and one NFC South team has its starter. by BCLetsRide69
