NFL Fans Frustrated by Streaming-Only Steelers-Ravens Playoff Game

Amazon Prime Video's exclusive broadcast of the AFC Wild Card game raises concerns about accessibility and affordability.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens face off in the AFC Wild Card game exclusively on Amazon Prime Video at 8:00 p.m. ET.
Fans have expressed frustration over the paywall, citing concerns about affordability and limited access for non-subscribers.
Amazon secured the rights to the game with a record-setting $120 million deal, surpassing last year's $100 million Peacock agreement for a similar playoff game.
The game will be simulcast on local channels for viewers in Pittsburgh and Baltimore, but others must have an Amazon Prime subscription to watch.
This marks Amazon's first exclusive NFL playoff broadcast, adding to its existing Thursday Night Football streaming deal, valued at $1 billion annually through 2033.
