Netflix and the NFL have had a relationship for a couple years, starting in 2023 with the docuseries “Quarterback,” which followed Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota during the 2022-23 NFL season. In July, Netflix released “Receiver,” which follows five of the NFL’s best pass catchers through the 2023 season.

Some minor technical issues popped up during Netflix's coverage of the Christmas Day matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers, including one of the game’s graphics briefly displaying an error shortly after kickoff.
