BLOOMINGTON, MINN.—Fox and the NFL have agreed to a five-year deal for Thursday night football games. Those games previously were televised by CBS and NBC, two of the league’s other network partners. Fox announced Wednesday that it will televise 11 games between Weeks 4 and 15, with simulcasts on NFL Network and Fox Deportes. “This is a single partner deal, we are not splitting the package,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a conference call. We believe in buying the very best rights, and the best rights are the NFL.”
