NFL week 9 was supposed to feature a quarterback matchup between Aaron Rogers and Patrick Mahoms, but then Rogers tested positive for COVID-19. Despite this development, the Green Bay Packers game against the Kansas City Chiefs will still have a lot of drama, including Rogers’ presumed heir, Jordan Love, which is the first start of his career. There are so many online, you need a game plan to watch all the action. Thanks to the new deal for NFL Game Pass subscriptions, your options are better-and cheaper.

NFL Game Pass provides streaming access to replays of every NFL regular season game, as well as NFL Originals and NFL Programs. Usually the price for each NFL season is $100, and now you can sign up for NFL Game Pass for only $50. For those who want to watch all possible NFL football games this season, this is a good choice.

As you know, many NFL games are broadcast on cable TV. However, if you have cut the power cord, or you don’t want to miss a game when you are away from home, then NFL streaming is your best choice.

No matter what you need to watch the NFL, having the right streaming service can change the rules of the game. CBS Essentials has collected all the streaming services that will broadcast NFL games in 2021, including Paramount+, Hulu, NFL Game Pass, YouTube TV and Prime Video, as well as devices that can help you watch every NFL game live on TV. 

In terms of NFL streaming media gadgets, Roku Express 4K Plus provides you with a lot of benefits. Among the streaming hardware giants, the $29 Roku device has the most options and applications, including Hulu, Prime Video, and Apple TV. It is also compatible with Apple AirPlay, allowing you to connect your iPhone or iPad to the TV. (You can learn more about Roku here.)

Roku Express 4K Plus, $29 (original price $40)

Apple fans or anyone with an Apple One subscription package should consider watching NFL live on Apple TV 4K. The updated device is equipped with Dolby Vision, a new and improved remote control that supports Siri and SharePlay, allowing you to enjoy the game with a group of friends. After the game is over, you can use Apple Arcade games or stream movies from your favorite streaming service.

Apple TV 4K, $169 (original price $179)

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is a streaming media device that will appeal to anyone in an Alexa-enabled family. Say goodbye to flipping through the channel menu. You can use the voice remote control of your device to switch back and forth between games ("Alexa, turn on Sunday night football"). In addition to Dolby Atmos audio, it also offers 4K Ultra HD, Dolby Vision, HDR and HDR10+, and access to thousands of channels (some are free).

If you want to watch NFL games without paying a cable subscription fee or streaming subscription fee, an indoor HD digital TV antenna is the best choice. For just $30, it can provide any live NFL game in your area, including the playoffs and the Super Bowl—and all other wireless content available in your area. Just connect the antenna to your device and watch. This is a 20th century TV viewing experience using 21st century technology.

Don't make things complicated, but remember that the reason why cable TV has become a thing is because of poor TV reception in certain areas. Today's digital antennas are much better than the rabbit ears of the past, but if your home’s receiving capabilities are challenged, even they can only do so much. 

One more thing: As mentioned above, live TV streaming does not guarantee that you will get all local TV stations. If you live in an area where your YouTube TV subscription does not include Fox, then you will need a digital antenna to (hopefully) receive free TV channels.

The 2021 season is an excellent time to start broadcasting Thursday’s NFL game on Amazon. In 2022, Amazon Prime Video will be the home ground for Thursday night football coverage off the court. TVB will still broadcast their respective local team games, while NFL Game Pass will continue to broadcast all regular season games.

Amazon Prime Video, $119 per year
