Ladies and gentlemen, it has been a long couple of months, but we can finally say that yes, in fact, there are meaningful NFL games today. Well, technically only one NFL football game, but one is still better than none. With Thursday Night Football kicking off the official start of the 2022 NFL season, let’s take a look at the matchup, how you can watch it, and some storylines to monitor. The Buffalo Bills will travel to Los Angeles to take on the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams to begin the season. With high aspirations in Buffalo, thanks to a number of analysts predicting they will win this year’s Super Bowl (including our very own Dalton Miller in his 2022 season predictions), Josh Allen and his squad will look to start the year off with a bang. However, standing in their way is a Rams team that not only brings back a ton of talent but actually got better thanks to the addition of WR Allen Robinson. With a healthy running back duo of Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson, this offense is likely to be even more explosive than it was in 2021.

If you purchase a product through one of the links in this post, Sports Media Watch may receive a commission. You can stream the entire NFL TV schedule through various platforms this season, though to do so you will have to purchase at least two over-the-top services in addition to a cable bundle. Streaming MVPDsThe primary NFL broadcasters — NBC, CBS, FOX and ESPN/ABC — can be streamed through Fubo TV (purchase a subscription), YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV and DirecTV Stream. Sling has ESPN, but none of the local over-the-air channels. NFL+ (NFL Plus)The NFL had debuted a new $5/month streaming service called NFL+ on which subscribers will be able to stream local and primetime regular season games on mobile and tablet devices (though not on television). Local and primetime games had previously been free to stream (on mobile and tablet) via NFL GamePass, but that will no longer be the case. Over-the-top platformsYou can stream all NBC games through Peacock and all CBS games through Paramount+, though both will require a subscription. ESPN+ airs an exclusive NFL game this season that can only be viewed by purchasing a $6.99/month subscription. You can sign up for Paramount Plus here and you can sign up for ESPN+ here. In addition, the entire Thursday Night Football package will be available only with an Amazon Prime subscription, as outlined in the next section. For a full list of network availability on the major streaming platforms, see the Sports Media Watch sports streaming guide. Changes to the NFL TV scheduleThursday Night Football on Amazon PrimeAmazon Prime will begin exclusively televising Thursday Night Football games this season, meaning that those games will only be available via Amazon Prime Video outside of the participating markets (in the home markets, the games will still be simulcast on over-the-air broadcast affiliates). Expanded Monday Night Football scheduleESPN’s Monday Night Football package expands to 23 games this season, including a split-doubleheader across ESPN and ABC in Week 2. Expanded Christmas Day scheduleThe NFL has scheduled three Christmas Day games this season, the most games it has played on the holiday. New broadcast teamsWith the exception of the returning Jim Nantz, Tony Romo and Tracy Wolfson on CBS, each of the other NFL packages will have a brand new lead broadcast team this season: Mike Tirico, Cris Collinsworth and Melissa Stark on NBC, Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Lisa Salters on ESPN, Kevin Burkhardt, Greg Olsen and Erin Andrews on FOX and Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit on Amazon Prime.
