Overview
- The alternative broadcast streamed on Peacock and NFL+ alongside NBC’s standard Sunday Night Football coverage of Texans–Chiefs.
- The panel featured Boston Rob Mariano, Heather Gay, Kate Chastain and host Justin Sylvester, with Summer House’s West Wilson reporting from the field.
- Cross-promotion drove the format, including a halftime performance by Real Housewives alum Luann de Lesseps and guest segments tied to Peacock and Bravo franchises.
- Early viewer feedback on X skewed negative, with complaints about limited game analysis and on-air moments such as Mariano saying he felt “in the wrong studio.”
- Frances Berwick framed the special as a bid to merge Bravo and NFL audiences and said future use of the format will hinge on results, with NBC holding Super Bowl 2026 rights.
