The NFL announced on March 25  hat they would now be streaming one regular season game that will only be available for fans to watch online this upcoming Football season. The game that the NFl wants to stream live online is between the Buffalo Bills and Jackson Jaguars during week seven of the 2015 season.

The game between the two teams will be played at London Wembley Stadium, to help widen the popularity and interest of the sport. The NFL is trying to help bring the interest of football to Asia and Europe. This will be the first time that the NFL has given a regular season game to an internet company.

The NFL is still deciding on what major internet company will get the digital rights to host the regular game. The NFL is deciding between major internet companies like Facebook, Youtube, and the Wall Street Journal.

According to www.cnet.com The move to show a regular seasoned game on the internet could be a move to a chanel or a way of whatching all the games on a persons phone all season long. The move could appeal to more fans and bring in more revenue for the NFL that just broadcasting the game Television could not reach.

The NFL has been looking into trying to expand its way of letting fans see the games without having to be in front of a Television to enjoy the game. The NFL soon launched its NFL channel that lets fans know and see all the highlights, sports talk, and games. Fans will not be able to watch the game on the television but have to look it up online to catch the game.

“I think that there could be a major problem with the computer, if the battery were to go out then you could lose the game that you were watching.” Sophomore Anissa Gholson said.
