Sunday’s Week 8 NFL action has gotten off to an early with the Broncos and Jaguars battling it out in London.
I should have put quotes around “battling” because this game between two 2-5 teams has all the makings for being an absolute stinker, which is something the Broncos have grown used to playing in this year.
Oh, and Russell Wilson is back for Denver and already had a cringe moment before the game.
What makes this matchup even worse is that the game is only being streamed on ESPN+ if you are not in the local Denver and Jacksonville markets. That’s right – to watch this game you have to be a subscriber to ESPN+ or play extra money to join so you can watch it.
Yikes.
2-5 Broncos vs. 2-5 Jaguars. Live from London at 9:30 a.m. ET. Available only via streaming on ESPN+. The servers likely won't be crashing for this one.

Seems fitting that this game will be an easy one for fans to totally avoid.
NFL fans were not impressed.
Imagine putting this game on a streaming app most folks don't use.
I'd purchase the app for a month if it was a good matchup, but holy hell.
I'll happily miss this game today. No thank you. https://t.co/LEevBjFOzK

Putting this game on ESPN+ is a sure-fire way to ensure I don't watch. I have ESPN+, I just don't feel like going through the steps to bring it up to watch the Jags and Broncos…

Who the F wants to go through the trouble to sign up on ESPN plus to watch this game. Put it on regular tv.

How tf do I have 4 ESPN channels and still have to pay extra for ESPN Plus?? To watch the Broncos play the Jags??

Can someone explain why this game is on ESPN plus instead of the regular ESPN?? What's wrong this network?? #DENvsJAX

There is only one @NFL game being played right now but most people can’t watch it because it’s only being shown on @ESPNPlus
I refuse to believe there was no way to show this game on TV so more fans could watch.
Greed is a disease.

NFL RedZone (mobile only)I refuse to add @ESPNPlus to this already too long list just to watch two bottom of the barrel teams.
