Typically, football on a Friday is associated with high schools, not the NFL. However, with the league collaborating with streaming services to expand their audiences, change is on the horizon.
Amazon will be hosting the only Friday night game of the season, providing a perfect break for those tired of holiday shopping. It’s ironic, isn’t it? This game is expected to attract attention.
Although the Raiders haven’t had the best year, any game against the Chiefs always draws a diverse crowd of fans.
Here’s how you can watch this Black Friday showdown.
