NFL increases security in wake of Paris attacks

Tragedy in Paris unfolded on Friday night, with a series of terrorist attacks taking place, including a pair of explosions outside of Stade de France during a France-Germany friendly match.

Following the attacks, the NFL issued a statement Saturday about security ahead of Week 10's NFL games.

The safety of our fans, stadium personnel, and teams at all NFL games is our priority, and security at our games is robust. Our procedures have been certified and designated by the Department of Homeland Security since 2008 as effective anti-terrorism technology. All NFL clubs use mandatory metal detector screening and multiple layers of perimeter security external to the stadium to safeguard fans and the stadium from explosive threats.
