Sunday’s wild-card game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins was the first NFL playoff game to ever broadcast exclusively on a streaming service, and fans couldn’t have been more annoyed.
Ahead of the massive matchup, fans had already voiced their displeasure with the NFL for its decision to go through with it, but there’s nothing like real-time anger. Across the country fans took to X, formerly Twitter, and roasted the league in furious fashion.
