The NFL is hoping to avoid some holiday Netflix and Chuck the TV out of the Window. After the streaming giant endured gigantic streaming issues airing Mike Tyson’s slap’n’tickle with some influencer, many football fans have good reason to worry about the NFL’s ability to carry out a clean broadcast. Netflix is scheduled to air two NFL games on Christmas Day, including the Steelers hosting the Chiefs. What else can league officials do but assure the public that they have supreme confidence in their broadcasting partner?
“I think [Netflix has] done an incredible job with all their preparations”, NFL executive vice president of media distribution Hans Schroeder told reporters yesterday, via Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk.
