Why does the NFL want just one company making NFL games?

MLB evidently doesn't have just one company making baseball games. There's All Pro and The Show at the minimum (I believe OOTP uses real players/teams by default these days)

So why wouldn't the NFL want more people paying them for right to use NFL images, teams, etc? Wouldn't that mean more money?

I mean if Backbreaker or some other company comes up with a game that does capture the attention of Madden fans and has some sales success - wouldn't the NFL want that company also paying them for rights?

Then if in some fantasy fairy land I came up with a FB game that was awesome - now there's Madden, Backbreaker, and Knuckleball Lover Football. (Hey, KLF!! LOL). Wouldn't NFL want all of us paying them for rights, not just EA? I mean, why not bleed EA and getting money from two other companies?
