Report: Amazon pushing NFL to schedule exclusive Black Friday game

Thanksgiving is known as an NFL holiday, but now the day after Thanksgiving may also be owned by the NFL as well.

According to NBC Sports' Peter King, Amazon is pushing the NFL to schedule a game on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and the biggest shopping day of the year. This was made possible by a resolution reportedly passed by team owners, giving "the NFL permission to schedule two more teams for a second short-week game." And Amazon wants that game.

Amazon has become part of the NFL family in a big way, as they'll be the sole broadcaster of Thursday Night Football games starting in the 2022 season.
