Football fans have the same concern about Netflix streaming the two NFL Christmas games this year.

For the first time ever, the streaming service giant will air NFL games live on Dec. 25. The NFL Christmas games will see the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs visit the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1:00 p.m. EST, with the Baltimore Ravens visiting the Houston Texans in the 4:30 p.m. EST game.

But fans are understandably worried about Netflix streaming the two Christmas Day games this year. The answer is simple: They had a significant issue with the live stream of the blockbuster Mike Tyson-Jake Paul boxing match on Friday night.

If you didn’t watch the fight, you may have seen disgruntled fans voicing their displeasure with the constant stream buffering for the Tyson-Paul fight. That’s what led to a bunch of fans voicing their worries over the quality of the streams for the NFL Christmas games:

 

 

With millions of people set to tune in for the pair of Christmas games, Netflix sure needs to do everything possible to ensure the streams work smoothly. If they experience more buffering issues, the NFL might not be keen on doing business with them going forward.

NFL Christmas Games Will Carry Major Playoff Implications

It already looks like Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will claim the AFC’s top seed and only first-round bye, but the game against Pittsburgh will greatly impact the postseason picture. Even if the Chiefs are running away with the No. 1 seed by then, Pittsburgh will likely be vying for the AFC North division crown as well as the No. 2 seed.

Lamar Jackson and the Ravens will also likely be in the race for the AFC North with the Steelers. Houston, who holds a comfortable lead for the AFC South crown, could also be pushing for the No. 2 seed as well.
