The NFL's official Twitter account was hacked on Tuesday afternoon, as the league appeared to announce the death of commissioner Roger Goodell.
The tweet was quickly deleted, and the NFL moved quickly to confirm that Goodell is in fact alive and well.
The @nfl Twitter account was hacked. @nflcommish is alive and well.

Unfortunately for the NFL, the account remained hacked for several minutes, with several other tweets being sent from the account.
