NBC paid the NFL 110 million for the exclusive rights to show that game on Peacock.  As I understand it that amount was just for that game and was outside of their regular TV deal which looks like is 2 billion a year. So I'm guess the NFL made a bit more money.

Quote:So why is this game exclusively on a streaming service? NBC Universal paid the NFL $110 million last year for rights to carry a wild card game on Peacock -- a one-year deal. This will be a trial for the league in its new television contract, which had exclusive games on streaming in the regular season (Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime, international game on ESPN+, and Saturday night game on Peacock).

I refused to sign up even for only $6 because I'm getting tired of things being split up over a bunch of different apps requiring paid subscriptions.
