The NFL called in a former FBI director earlier this week to examine how it pursued and handled evidence in the Ray Rice domestic violence case.

The move came hours after The Associated Press reported that a law enforcement officer said he sent an NFL executive a video in April that showed Baltimore Ravens running back Rice striking his then-fiancee at a casino. Goodell has maintained that no one in the NFL saw the video until it was released by TMZ Sports Monday.

Women's organizations, members of Congress and players have called for more detail about the NFL's handling of the Rice case.

That case -- and particularly the video of Rice allegedly punching his future wife, Janay Palmer -- has sparked a national conversation about domestic abuse.
