During the Chiefs (-4.5) and Chargers matchup on Thursday night, the NFL made its formal debut on a streaming service. With the first edition of Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime, it was certainly a different experience for Al Michaels and some fans.
One of the more notable moments from the streaming broadcast was NFL commissioner Roger Goodell sitting and having a conversation with Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium. (Note: Amazon was part of a major broadcast rights shuffle when it paid for exclusive rights to Thursday Night Football in the spring of 2021.)
You just knew that Goodell and Bezos would eventually be seen together after that agreement:

Whatever those two are talking about, it definitely doesn’t all have to do with the thrilling action on the field.
NFL fans made so many jokes, memes, and thoughts about Goodell and Bezos sitting together

So heartwarming to see Jeff Bezos and Roger Goodell sitting next to each other @SportsSturm. Just a couple of blue collar fans enjoying a football game together. 😂

Jeff Bezos looks like he doesn’t care at all about football while Roger Goodell looks like he couldn’t care less what Bezos is saying to him.
