Missed the Start? Even Sunday Ticket Holders Couldn't See the Eagles-Chiefs Kickoff!
Sunday's highly anticipated Eagles vs. Chiefs game had a rocky start. A technical issue prevented many from watching live, including those with NFL Sunday Ticket. Roughly 70,000 viewers experienced the initial broadcast disruption.
The problem stemmed from a video encoding issue affecting streaming services. NFL officials confirmed they were working to resolve the problem quickly. Updates were provided throughout the first quarter.
Despite the initial setback, the game is a rematch of Super Bowl LVII. Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts faced off, drawing significant attention from football fans nationwide.
The NFL is investigating the cause of the outage, aiming to prevent similar issues during future games. This incident highlights the challenges of delivering live sports streaming reliably.
