And I didn't say the NFL needs to replace their current contract with Twitter. I am saying the use of streaming for a nationally televised game goes to show how many people would gladly stream an out-of-market game that wasn't available on network TV.
Good grief, you're SO ****ING verbose.
And, of course, you're wrong.
Last night's game garnered only 8 million viewers across all platforms, including streaming.
The 2015 Week 4 Thursday night game garnered 19.4 million viewers on NFLN and CBS.

Again, Goodell's Twitter contract seems to be acknowledgement that Goodell understands this problem.

If Direct TV loses Sunday Ticket, not only will DTV/AT&T suffer but there's no way the NFL generates $1.5 billion annually from Sunday Ticket or similar.
