Peacock getting an NFL playoff game

I don't see how this is any worse than games on ESPN which you USED to have to get through an expensive plan with a bunch of other channels you didn't watch for some period of time in a contract. The way things are now, I can subscribe to ESPN / NFL network etc. when I want and only during the season. This has been WAY cheaper than cable for me and it allows me to streamline what I choose to watch.

I knew sooner or later that the NFL would realize it does not need the networks. The networks have needed the NFL to remain relevant. It is the inevitable march of change.

Still, I bet they keep the networks because the networks will continue to pay big $$$ to stay relevant .... but the writing is on the wall.
