You'd think so but the NFL is just as cheap as the NHL when it comes to this stuff.

he four-time champion head coach went into a "profane" tirade during the annual owners meeting after the league refused to approve end zone cameras for play review.
Each year, teams can propose rules changes to be enacted the following season. The Patriots suggested adding cameras at the goal line to aid replay, though the league ultimately decided that the cost of installing the equipment outweighed the benefit of the additional replay views.
This apparently incensed Belichick. Per Schefter, Belichick went off on the assembled executives over the idea that the cameras were too expensive, citing the fact that the NFL spends money to send the Pro Bowl to Brazil and regular season games to London as a counter argument to those opposed to cost of the cameras.
