ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills game in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars will mark a league first. The NFL has partnered with Yahoo! to livestream the game for free across the internet.
Fans will have access to the game on their phone, computer, tablet or anywhere they have internet access.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stated that the NFL is looking to keep up with the changes in technology while keeping the fans in mind.
"I think it's going to be an interesting test of whether streaming on line can attract an audience, and I think if I'm the NFL powers that be I'm going to be watching this really closely," said Tom Proetti, St. John Fisher College Communications professor.
The game, set for the morning of Oct. 25 in London, will be broadcast on TV, but only in the Jacksonville and Buffalo markets.
