FANS REACTIONS !Peacock's exclusive NFL stream of Chiefs-Dolphins playoff game irks fans

It's the first time an NFL playoff game was shown exclusively on a streaming service

The Kansas City Chiefs-Miami Dolphins playoff matchup appeared exclusively on Peacock Saturday night, and it was a source of anger for some NFL fans going into the game.

New York sports radio legend Mike Francesa was among those who complained during the week about the game being on the streaming service.

He fired off a post on X before the game got underway.

Not only is the NFL's greedy Peacock adventure a disgrace," he wrote. "But the quality of the telecast is equally disgraceful. Fix the technology."

It’s unclear what "technology" Francesa was complaining about. Some fans who downloaded Peacock complained about the choppiness of the broadcast.

However, he offered to rectify fans’ complaints by offering 90 free three-month Peacock memberships. Fans were excited when he followed through with his offer.

The game will be seen on local markets, but the rest of the country had to have Peacock to watch the game. It was the first time an NFL playoff game was available only through streaming.
