The MVP used one emoji to show what he thinks of the new rule.
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.

Boston’s cap issues are preventing the 31-year-old from getting back on the ice.

Shohei Ohtani is on quite a run to start the 2023 MLB season.
The Los Angeles Angels superstar led Japan to an upset win over the United States in the World Baseball Classic.
That was impressive enough, but how they got there was even more spectacular. Japan went undefeated in the tournament, and Ohtani struck out all-world teammate Mike Trout to seal the win.
He’s also heading into his walk year, and considering his age and unprecedented two-way contributions, he’s likely to set salary records next offseason.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that it can’t be expected that Jordan Love will immediately produce the same results as “generational talent” Aaron Rodgers.
