For the first time ever, an NFL game that otherwise would have been nationally televised won’t be. Instead, the early-morning game (American time) from London between the Bills and Jaguars will stream over the Internet.
Previously, the NFL hadn’t decided which Internet company would show the game. The choice has been made; the game will be streamed globally by Yahoo.
“The NFL has always been committed to being at the forefront of media innovation,” Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a news release. “Through this partnership with Yahoo — one of the world’s most recognizable digital brands — we are taking another important step in that direction as we continue to closely monitor the rapidly evolving digital media landscape.
