The NFL announced that teams can now play up to two “Thursday Night Football” games during the season.
The idea of playing games on days other than Sunday has always been a hot topic among owners and players because it means less recovery time for players between games.
“Thursday Night Football” has come into play in the NFL, but Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes doesn’t seem to be a big fan of playing multiple Thursday night games.

Mahomes tweeted a simple emoji on Thursday night’s report about the move.
Former NFL quarterback and current analyst Robert Griffin III responded to Mahomes: “So much for player safety.”

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league did not see a spike in injuries from “Thursday Night Football” and the league did not pick Amazon, the streaming platform that hosts “Thursday Night Football,” for player safety.
“I don’t think they put Amazon ahead of our players. The data doesn’t show a higher injury rate,” Goodell said, via Ari Meirov.

One of the league’s most controversial injuries occurred on “Thursday Night Football” last season, when Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a gruesome concussion after being knocked to the turf. He admitted that he did not remember the moment when the medical staff took him off the field and rushed him to the hospital.
The Dolphins were investigated because the previous Sunday against the Bills, Tagovailoa was hit and appeared to have a concussion. But he finished the game with the Dolphins, claiming back problems caused him to falter during the game.
