The Kansas City Chiefs will head to the playoffs for the ninth straight season after winning the AFC West again. However, in an unprecedented move, the NFL and Roger Goodell have sold the television right to their Super Wild Card Weekend clash with the Miami Dolphins to Peacock. The game will now be aired on Peacock and Peacock exclusively, leaving NFL fans without a subscription in limbo. Chiefs linebacker Charles Omenihu took to Twitter (also known as X) to voice his displeasure with the decision.
Us playing on peacock ONLY is insane I won’t lie.

NFL fans without Peackock will need to use an illegal stream to watch the game. Twitter users already share the best streams to watch the game, but it still presents an unneeded obstacle to watching a postseason contest.
Kansas City Chiefs: Super Wild Card Weekend Playoff Game On Peacock
The Chiefs will face the Miami Dolphins on Saturday night, exclusively on Peacock. NFL fans can only watch the game if they have a subscription to Peacock. The current subscription prices are $5.99 monthly or $11.99 for no ads and local NBC. Potential customers can also receive a small discount for paying an annual price. The NFL has received much scrutiny for airing a postseason game on Peacock. The league has given exclusive rights to Peacock before but limited it to the regular season.
Kansas City Chiefs: Face the Miami Dolphins on Saturday
The Chiefs will host the Miami Dolphins at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday night. Kansas City enters the playoffs on a two-game winning streak despite posting offensive lows during the Patrick Mahomes era. The two-time MVP finishes the season with 4,183 passing yards and a 4.5 touchdown percentage, both career lows since taking over in 2018.
Meanwhile, Miami will head to the postseason for the second consecutive season under head coach Mike McDaniel. The Dolphins posted 29.2 points per game, the second-highest mark in the league. The Dolphins posted an NFL-best 5,411 yards of offense. They finished the season 11-6 but lost in Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills, losing out on their first AFC East title since 2008.
