Netflix ropes in Beyonc¨¦ to headline Ravens-Texans Christmas game. NFL fans say, 'Bet they will have streaming problems'
Netflix's Christmas surprise comes bearing many gifts; however, fans have their own reservations. The reason is that its recent live sporting event, Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson, ran into several issues, including a global server crash.
After Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson on Saturday, Netflix has signed a three-year partnership with the National Football League (NFL). The streaming giant will be hosting 2 NFL games this Christmas season: the first between the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers, and the second between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans. In an attempt to turn its inaugural live NFL broadcast into a spectacular event, something along the lines of the Super Bowl, Netflix has roped in pop icon Beyonc¨¦ to perform during the half-time show. Scroll ahead for all the details on her performance on Christmas Gameday.
