Thursday Night Football (TNF) game keeps freezing

Considering that users pay money to see the game, it should work without any hiccups. However, that’s not the case as the stream keeps lagging or buffering for many of them.

Several users have resorted to Twitter to complain about the constant freezing throughout the Thursday Night Football (TNF) game stream, despite having a high-speed steady internet connection.

Not only that, but many are having audio problems when watching the Thursday Night Football (TNF) game (1,2,3,4).

In some circumstances, the audio appears to be out of sync with the video while others claim the overall sound quality is very poor.

Hulu users also faced a similar issue with NBC Sunday Night Football broadcast. So, it seems that these online platforms just can’t match cable TV when it comes to the viewing experience of sports.
