NFL Confident in Netflix's Christmas Game Stream

Netflix is set to stream two NFL games exclusively on Christmas Day, marking its first foray into live sports broadcasting, despite concerns over streaming quality following technical issues during a recent boxing event. The games feature high-profile matchups, including the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans. While the NFL expresses confidence in Netflix's preparations, a survey reveals that about two-thirds of fans are skeptical about the platform's ability to deliver a smooth streaming experience. This skepticism is compounded by DirectTV's decision to forgo a distribution deal for the games, forcing bars and restaurants to turn to EverPass for access. Meanwhile, NFL-themed gaming events on Roblox are set to enhance fan engagement around the Christmas matchups. The stakes remain high for both playoff-bound teams as they aim for a strong finish in the season.
