The NFL recently voted on a new controversial rule.
On Monday, the NFL passed a new rule that allows Thursday-night football games from Week 13 to Week 17 to be flexed.
There were some teams who voted against it, and they can be seen here.
Now, what do three of those teams have in common?
Three of them play in the NFC North, which only leaves one team voting for it.
That team would be the Minnesota Vikings.
In the newly established rule, the league office must give a 28-day notice if a matchup is going to be flexed out of its Sunday slot and into the Thursday night opening. It’s important to note that no team in the league will be forced to play more than two TNF games in a season.
Seeing so many owners vote to approve the rule is quite the surprise. Especially knowing all the toles playing on a short-week already presents a player.
