The Buffalo Bills and New York Jets will face off on Thursday night to kick off week 2 of the 2016 NFL Season. This will be Buffalo’s home opener, so Bills fans to be going nuts.
Buffalo’s matchup with the Jets in Week 2 will be the first NFL game to ever be streamed on Twitter. A partnership between Twitter and the NFL was announced earlier this year and Roger Goodell said the following on the partnership:
“Twitter is where live events unfold and is the right partner for the NFL as we take the latest step in serving fans around the world live NFL football. There is a massive amount of NFL-related conversation happening on Twitter during our games and tapping into that audience, in addition to our viewers on broadcast and cable, will ensure Thursday Night Football is seen on an unprecedented number of platforms this season. This agreement also provides additional reach for those brands advertising with our broadcast partners.”
The partnership between the NFL and Twitter, which was announced in early April, will see the social media platform enter the live sports streaming arena for the first time. Twitter will stream 10 football games on Thursday night.
The Jets will be out for revenge after they were swept by the Bills in 2015. In the 2015 season finale, Buffalo’s win kept New York from making the playoffs. Both teams are seeking their first wins of the season. The Jets lost their home opener to the Bengals in a heartbreaking loss, 23-22. As for the Bills, they also lost their opening game.
