With the 2016 NFL season just around the corner, Microsoft recently announced that it would provide the league with improved Surface Pro 4s, as well as giving fans the chance to buy NFL team Type Covers.

Microsoft and the NFL inked a five-year partnership in 2013, which included making the Microsoft Surface the “official tablet and PC operating system of the NFL.” Although the partnership has been highlighted by much publicized criticism from coaches and players, in some of the biggest games, the two household names continue to build on their deal.
