Things are changing quickly for the NFL as the organization scrambles to handle the fallout from the Ray Rice domestic violence video. These events have angered fans across the nation. Viewership is down, and now they've slighted Rihanna.

Billboard.com received a statement from a representative at CBS Sports settling the matter:
Beginning this Thursday, we will be moving in a different direction with some elements of our 'Thursday Night Football' open. We will be using our newly created Thursday Night Football theme music to open our game broadcast.
