Netflix vows to ensure smooth NFL broadcasts after recent technical issues

Netflix will broadcast two NFL games live on Christmas Day, featuring the Kansas City Chiefs against the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens facing the Houston Texans. This marks a new venture for the streaming service. Concerns have arisen following technical issues during Netflix's recent broadcast of the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight. Viewers experienced problems like buffering, poor picture quality, and outages, leading to warnings from former NFL player Shawne Merriman. Merriman emphasized that Netflix must avoid similar mistakes during the NFL broadcasts, as the league's production quality is held to high standards. Netflix has a three-year deal worth $75 million for these holiday games.
