Goodell: NFL Is 'Committed' to 'Thursday Night Football'

Goodell, who is in his 11th season as the commissioner, was approached with a variety of questions ranging from league rules to relocation possibilities.

While the Vikings weren’t the sole focus of any one question, Goodell did announce that the NFL has no plans to get rid of Thursday Night Football.

Every NFL team played on Thursday night this season. Minnesota fell 17-15 at home against Dallas, a game that Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer missed due to emergency eye surgery.

Goodell’s comments mean the Vikings could have another Thursday night game in 2017, although he did say the league would review the policy that placed every team on the broadcast in 2016.
