"We want to hold or reserve judgment on that until we've been through this, but we know there's growing interest in playing regular-season games"
"We have such great interest. We have a great fan base in Mexico. It's been growing dramatically over the last several years, and we're responding to that interest. It's going to be a great opportunity to understand more about playing a game internationally."

"The NFL clearly is making an investment in this because we believe it's the right thing to do,"

"It's always unfortunate when something gets misreported and the facts are not clear."
"Too much of our society looks for people to fail."
