This is how the league moves to Pay per View for most games. Sunday night football may end up being the only free over the air broadcast left.

It's a dry run for PPV streaming of games.

That would make no sense when the Networks are writing checks for Billions over the next few years and the NFL is charging $5,000,000 for a 30 second ad on the Super Bowl.

But the NFL could generate Ad revenue w/o the networks. Whether ppv income outweighs Network contracts is another matter.
