NFL owners have approved a change to the scheduling policy clarifying that Friday games are no longer considered “short weeks.” Previously, teams were limited to two short-week games per season (typically Thursday games with less rest). That rule still applies—but now, Friday games (like Black Friday or Christmas this year) don’t count toward that limit. So a team can play two Thursday short-week games and still be scheduled for a standalone Friday game, giving TV partners like Amazon more flexibility.
