The NFL is looking to expand its Thursday Night Football schedule even further. They want to allow teams to have two Thursday games per year, rather than having only one. That seems likely to happen. There is much less support—and some vocal opposition—behind the notion of allowing games to be flexed into (and out of) the Thursday slot.
Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II is in favor of the former, but opposed to the latter, as Dale Lolley writes for the team’s website. “I supported having teams be able to play two Thursday night games”, Rooney told him.
