“We’re thrilled that the NFL has chosen Yahoo for this historic opportunity,” said Marissa Mayer, president and CEO of Yahoo. “It marks a significant change in the way users can access this amazing content.

The NFL game will be availabel on desktop, mobile, tablet, connected TVs, and set-top boxes. The game will also be televised in the both the Buffalo (WIVB-TV) and Jacksonville (WTEV-TV) markets.
