The issues mentioned in the letter have been fully reviewed with the Competition Committee and Media Committee and will be discussed at next week’s league meetings in Phoenix.

One example is that Goodell hopes to centralize replay reviews with the NFL’s officiating center in New York having the final say. Another is reducing the frequency of commercial breaks.

“We know how annoying it is when we come back from a commercial break, kick off, and then cut to a commercial again,” Goodell wrote.
