The $110 Million Deal Marks the First Time an NFL Playoff Game Will Be Exclusively Streamed, Sparking Controversy Among Fans and Players

Peacock, NBC's streaming service, has secured exclusive rights to broadcast the NFL playoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins, marking the first time an NFL playoff game will be exclusively available through streaming.
The deal, reportedly worth around $110 million, has sparked controversy among fans and players, with many accusing the NFL of greed and not prioritizing fans' best interests.
Despite the exclusivity, fans in the local markets of Kansas City and Miami will be able to watch the game for free on their local NBC affiliates.
Peacock's exclusive broadcast of the game is seen as a major test for the market of subscriber-based viewership of playoff professional football.
NBC Sports officials have stated that NFL games and other pro sports appearing on streaming services is 'here to stay.'
