Football on a Friday usually involves high schools, not the NFL. But as the league partners with streaming services to expand both of its audiences, change is in the air.
Amazon will host the only Friday night game of the season, a perfect respite for people who just can’t handle Christmas shopping for another minute. (Ironic, right?) And this year’s game is likely to attract some attention.
The Raiders? Well, this wasn’t her year. But every Chiefs game draws a crowd – and a particularly diverse fan base.
Here’s how to watch this Black Friday duel.
