NFL fans worried about Christmas games streamed on Netflix after Paul-Tyson fight buffering debacle

Netflix is set for its NFL debut doubleheader on Christmas, as the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers go head-to-head before the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans play as well on that Wednesday night. 

"This is a disaster for Netflix," OutKick's Clay Travis tweeted. "They have no chance of successfully airing a Chiefs-Steelers Christmas Day NFL game based on this performance. 

Randy Baumann, a Pittsburgh sports radio host, even suggested that buffering during the Steelers game would lead to some tossed Christmas dinner tables. 

Netflix, like many other top streaming services, paid a handsome sum of around $150 million, according to the New York Post, to air the Christmas Day NFL games. 

But six weeks from now, the streaming service surely hopes they can get the job done much better than the Paul-Tyson fight. 

Even Jerry Jones, owner of the Cowboys who made an appearance on Friday night to talk about his excitement for the NFL on Netflix, was buffering for some viewers while talking.

Other streaming services that have had success airing NFL games are Amazon Prime Video, which owns the media rights to "Thursday Night Football," and Peacock, which airs "Sunday Night Football" given its NBC ties as well as playoff games last season.
