I know Goodell and the top execs aren't there and on the field, but why the **** did it come down to the teams deciding this? Why is it so hard for Goodell, who surely is getting real time info and updates of exactly what's happening, to just immediately suspend the game at the very least? Pretty unbelievable Goodell couldn't make the obvious declaration.
