FAQ: How is this possible?
Many Buffalo Bills games that are exclusive to cable networks like ESPN or NFL Network, or streaming services like Prime Video, are usually sold to a respective team’s home town local broadcast station. These local broadcasts can be picked up with an antenna. If a deal between a local broadcaster and the NFL doesn’t materialize, many games are also available from Canadian broadcasters, and you can pick up these Canadian channels with an antenna. Other Buffalo Bills games that air on networks like CBS, NBC, ABC, and FOX are broadcast over the air in the United States. Over the air channels tend to be higher in quality compared to cable, satellite, and streaming*.
*Based on PSNR quality metrics of 18.5 Mbps MPEG-2 Canadian ATSC 1.0 channels, and 4.5 Mbps HEVC ATSC 3.0/NextGen TV channels.
