As part of a series of new rules and policies instituted during the NFL owners meetings this week, the league will now regularly allow teams to appear in multiple Thursday Night Football games in the same season.
Previously, the league seldom allowed teams to play on multiple Thursdays with a short week of preparation as a nod to player safety. Therefore, this decision is likely to be unpopular with players.
In response to the report of the new policy, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes tweeted one emoji to express his disappointment with the move, something that many NFL players may be feeling.
