NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has given a brief update on the state of the Sunday Ticket package, saying that negotiations are at “a very critical point for us,” according to Sportico. And Apple remains a top contender, the article adds.

It’s separate from a slew of licensing deals recently completed between the NFL, most major broadcast TV networks and Amazon. Acquiring it would certainly attract more eyeballs to Apple TV+.
