If you need any further evidence that the NFL rigs and scripts it's games, I provide you this quote from Roger Goodell's "State of the Game" Super Bowl Week press conference:
"I don't think it's [the sport's officiating] ever been better in the league," Goodell said at his annual Super Bowl week news conference. "There are over 42,000 plays in a season. Multiple infractions could occur on any play. Take that out or extrapolate that. That's hundreds if not millions of potential fouls. And our officials do an extraordinary job of getting those. Are there mistakes in the context of that? Yes, they are not perfect and officiating never will be."
Do you need anything further than that?

In an ancillary comment, COVIDIOT-12 brought up a point, in saying that part of the reason it's going on is that the best referees are actually being poached by the television networks as the rules analysts.
He's not quite right in the concept of that they no longer work for the league (anyone involved with the broadcast is working for the league in SOME extent)...
