"Thanksgiving is synonymous with football and we're excited to give our fans another day of NFL action during this holiday weekend," NFL Media Chief Operating Officer Hans Schroeder said in a statement.
"Amazon is uniquely positioned to partner with us for this game as Black Friday is one of the most important days of the year for their business."NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told reporters the league had not made a commitment to continue to the broadcast beyond 2023 but hinted there could be more "Black Friday" games to come.
