It isn’t cheap to be an NFL fan these days. The league has partnered with multiple streaming services for the 2024 season, offering games exclusively on ESPN+, Netflix, Peacock and Amazon Prime Video throughout the regular season.
That forces some fans to find, uh, alternate sites to watch games instead of forking over the cash for yet another subscription. ESPN reporter Adam Schefter appeared to be one of those aforementioned illegal streamers on Thursday night during the New York Jets’ 21–13 win over the Houston Texans at MetLife Stadium.
