Putting a Peacock fence around a playoff game is a new way for the NFL to use streaming.

Putting a Peacock fence around a playoff game is a new way for the NFL to use streaming.

Not only is the quarterback matchup between Tua Tagovailoa of Miami and Patrick Mahomes of Kansas City a big deal, but so is the AFC wild-card game between the two teams.

Another question concerns how many football fans will pay for the privilege of watching one of the most important games for the season on a streaming service for the initial time.

The game on Saturday night will be demonstrated on Peacock because NBCUniversal bought the rights to do so in May.

Like all Thursday night NFL games, this one will be shown on NBC stations in Kansas City as well as Miami. You can also watch it on Amazon Prime Video.

Anyone else who wants to watch the game will have to pay an annual Peacock membership, which starts at $5.99 a month. Some fans are upset that the NFL is putting a playoff match behind a fence for the very first time.

ESPN’s “First Take” host Chris Russo said, “I mean, the NFL, and this prints money—that’s got more money than God—they must generate another $110 million for that stupid Peacock game.” “Oh my God, that made me crazy!” That’s being a pig! That’s what that is.

“Poor 75-year-old fan of the Chiefs who has been a fan since Hank Stram and Len Dawson has to figure out where on his remote to find the stupid game as well as spend money on the streaming service to view a playoff game!”

Four networks show NFL games. They are NBC, CBS, Fox, and ESPN/ABC. Each of them gets at least a single wild-card game. The two games that are still left will probably be put up for sale every year.

One will go back and forth between NBC, CBS, and Fox every year. That means Amazon or ESPN+ might be able to win in the end.

“Broadcast is our main focus and our big promise.” It’s not either/or for us; it’s both. Hans Schroeder, the league’s chief operating officer of media marketing, said, “We want to keep getting our content to more people.”

“We see how the media landscape is changing all the time, and we want to remain where our fans are.” We know that they’re on more and more screens, especially younger fans.

Because of this, being on these different websites is important for us all year, not just for this game.

ESPN first showed NFL games in 1987, yet it wasn’t until 27 seasons later that it showed its initial playoff game. The league has been much faster to accept streaming.

Last season, “Thursday Night Football” moved to Amazon Prime Video. Since 2021, ESPN has streamed one foreign game each season on ESPN+.
