Sports fans are lovin’ FiOS HD TV with a picture that makes you feel like you’re on the field.  But for the hard core, being able to watch just one view of a game means they are missing other action or the latest stats, so now Verizon and NFL Network are solving the problem.  We’re giving Verizon customers the only access to NFL Network games both online and on TV. 

With Verizon’s NFL Network Game Extra, fans will be able to watch the game from four camera angles simultaneously or choose their favorite. They’ll also have online access to up-to-the-minute game statistics, drive chart simulations, on-demand video highlights, live chats with other NFL Network Game Extra viewers and live audio feeds.  Customers also can enjoy NFL Network programming online, including segments from the popular shows “NFL Total Access” and “Playbook,” which offer football fans game analysis and a look at upcoming matchups. 

NFL Network Game Extra will be available for eight highly anticipated Thursday night NFL Network games at no extra cost beginning with the Broncos-Browns game tonight (Nov. 6, 2008) and continuing with next week’s Jets-Patriot game (Nov. 13, 2008).

NFL Game Extra is available to customers who subscribe to either Verizon’s FiOS Internet or High Speed Internet service, with either FiOS TV or DIRECTV through Verizon.  When subscribers are away from home, they can also watch the game on any broadband connection.

Customers can log on Verizon broadband accounts at www.verizon.net/nfl for the complete game experience.
