If not, there's not usually another alternative, although I think last year there might have been a game or two shown on both NFL Network and Amazon Prime at the same time?

If you really can't watch it locally and have to pay for Prime, you could either:
1) pay for just a month of Prime when the game is on
2) go to a local bar/restaurant that typically airs the games

Personally, I think Option 1 is best because it's cheaper than going out to the restaurant/bar, but also because the game is mid-November. If you get Prime right before the game, you can have it through mid-December and get all the fast shipping for holiday gifts.

Again haven’t used it but seems worth checking out

I know for me personally, I don't like to watch sports on anything other than a 50+ inch TV.
Unless there's a Twitch app for Roku or something (I haven't checked), I probably would never look into this option.


I have a 32" monitor for my gaming computer, and I wouldn't want to watch a sports event on it lol.

Any reason you can’t do this w NFL+ …..?

Are there any games that will be on the NFL Network or ESPN?
…….Thus the need for one of these?

Thx

I'm thinking the high volume of people using the service is the reason. The video quality was great when it was working. I wonder if anyone else had this problem?

Regardless, if the games during the season aren't picked up by my antenna, I'm going to go out and do something and come back after the game is over to watch it with NFL+ premium. It's only $80 for the year so it should be worth it.

I paid for the the overpriced YT TV Sunday Ticket and split the cost between my family since you can share YT TV amongst family members.
