The new new things

Of all the new features for the upcoming NFL season, the most significant is Amazon Prime’s 11-year, $1 billion annual pact to be the exclusive home of “Thursday Night Football.” This marks the first time a regular-season package of games will be exclusively available on a streaming service and serves as the biggest change in NFL game distribution since it first left broadcast for cable in a 1987 deal with ESPN. But that is far from the only new development for what promises to be another strong year for America’s favorite sports league.
