Veteran broadcaster Boomer Esiason believes Netflix and the NFL will cosy up and create their own little Christmas magic.
Talking on CBS Sports WFAN Show he said, “Do not be surprised if the NFL and Netflix get in bed for a nice little Christmas Day football games (sic).”

He believes that with Netflix’s 270 million global subscribers the duo will be a formidable force, and bring Xmas cheer across the world, growing the game and increasing ad spend and revenue.
The NFL has overtaken the NBA on Christmas Day, and the games serves as a de facto opening of the season, even though it starts two months prior.
It has been hinted that with CBS cancelling the contract of Esiason and Phil Simms on the NFL Today Show, and a gig at Netflix could be just the tonic for the duo.
Win-win for everyone, except if you are Amazon, Disney, Peacock, ESPN, CBS, ABC and about another half-a-dozen streaming platforms.
