NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday the league remains committed to finishing the regular season as scheduled.

• Goodell said on a conference call the league is considering a bubble but significantly different from the NHL and NBA.
• He knows he can’t do alone, so partnership and discipline will be the key to success.
• Dawn Aponte, the league’s chief football administrative officer is thinking that the safer they can do things, the better.
• Goodell and Dr. Allen Sills, the NFL’s chief medical officer, said  they’ll most likely keep to their own protocols.
• While they’re willing to take extra steps, they won’t do the bubble  with all of the media attention surrounding it.
• Sills made a point that things won’t be risk-free. They need to consider the safest options, and will adjust accordingly.
• Sills was also firm in his support of front-line workers getting the vaccine first and not the NFL getting special treatment unless it’s absolutely necessary.
• Postponements aren’t the norm but there are exceptions, such as the NFL rescheduling Baltimore at Pittsburgh game from Thanksgiving night to Wednesday because of a COVID-19 outbreak on the Ravens squad.
• They will try to keep with a timely schedule by doing the best they can to keep a strict health and safety protocol.
