I was at the game and sat in the middle tier underneath the overhanging top tier. They had TVs hanging from here which were on approx 5-10 second delay so was able to watch the play again after it happened on the field. The TNF graphic was very confusing I have to say.

Did I miss something as thought the UK International Series games and Super Bowl were live on the BBC. However finally at home on a Sunday and this week's only seems to be on SS3 ? When C4 screened these I thought they had all the UK games lives, or is it because we now have 3 a year Sky took 1 so C4 and now BBC only get 2 ?

It's live on the BBC, its just hidden on the red button. Don't know why they couldn't put it on BBC2 as there is nothing else live on there.
Given the BBC2 afternoon schedule was the usual home and antiques crap they have on every day I presumed they wouldn't be screening the game. BBC would probably argue that gets a higher audience given the ratings I read here for the first two games were so low. |

So the fans can choose what 6pm/9pm games can be shown on Sky. Since when did this happen?
Good idea though, it means that possibly bigger can be shown although I wonder in the future it will get spoiled by teams with big fanbases? |

So currently we have 3 ways to watch Washington v Bengals (Sky Sports 3, Sky Sports Mix and BBC Red Button) but nowhere to watch either the scheduled Bills/Pats game or NFL Red Zone

It's also on Sky Sports Mix, in HD unlike the BBC RB (for me, anyway)
Now only Freesat / Freeview and Netflix. We do Now TV occasionally to catch up mainly the HBO stuff. |

Forgot how frustrating it is watching a CBS early game on Sky where they don't have the yellow first down line. Unforgivable to be showing a game like this in 2016.

Thanks for the heads up. Crap promotion by the BBC wanting no one to watch this.
Given the BBC2 afternoon schedule was the usual home and antiques crap they have on every day I presumed they wouldn't be screening the game. BBC would probably argue that gets a higher audience given the ratings I read here for the first two games were so low. Why on earth did this not get screened on BBC Two? What was the point showing it on BBC RB 1? When BBC Two was showing nothing of importance. Two maddening decisions today from broadcasters! BBC for this and Channel 4 for their very short F1 coverage for Humans! |

Because Sky was the main broadcaster as the feed was from Fox and not NFL. This is why the coverage was studio based as well. Not the Beeb's decision to make. If you'd watched the NFL Show on Friday or subsequently you would/should have known it was going to be red button and website (where I watched it) only with a highl;ights programme tonight on BBC1 at midnight.

So not sure what exactly you think that means, but the fact remains the BBC have the rights and elected themselves to put it on BBC RB. Sky & Fox means nothing to this! |

So it's a complete coincidence that last season's games were on the same pattern with the third only available on red button with highlights later, is it? Nothing to do with the conditions on the deal?

Confirmed Saints at Dolphins is one of the Wembley games next year. Let's hope they're both somewhere near a 0.500 record at least at the time. 😜

We know another game is X at Jaguars and the Jaguars deal with the NFL means they are guaranteed Wembley. 3rd game is TBC, plus if serious on a London franchise there is talk again of a 4th London game or one in Germany next year. |
