Amazon secured exclusive rights to stream Thursday night NFL games on Prime Video last year, marking a new era for sports fans, including the Black Friday game.

To help Prime members secure exclusive deals during games, Amazon offered a selection of discounts on holidays gifts, game-day gear and must-haves for tailgating parties. Holiday deals from brands such as TCL, Dyson, LEGO and Nintendo were announced during select TNF games and the Black Friday game.

The Black Friday game between the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins averaged around 11.18 million viewers in total but the TNF season opener hit a streaming high with 15.05 million people tuning in to watch the Philadelphia Eagles win over the Minnesota Vikings (34-28). The ratings increased by 2 million from the previous season, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Prime Video scored another ratings high this season after Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance at the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Denver Broncos game on Oct 12.

Swift was in the building to support her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and witnessed Kansas City triumph over the Broncos (19-8). Ratings for the game spiked to 13.83 million viewers — a 57 percent increase compared to a TNF football game around the same time last year, per Deadline.

The Grammy winner is no stranger to Prime Video and TNF. Swift premiered a teaser trailer for her Midnights album during a TNF game last year.

In other music news, Garth Brooks headlined the Amazon Music Live Concert on Black Friday. The Grammy treated fans to a “Diver-Bar” concert event live streamed from the grand opening of Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk, Brooks’ new bar in Nashville. The first-of-its-kind Black Friday concert streamed live on Prime Video and Twitch.

2 Chainz hosts the second season of Amazon Music Live, which began on Sept. 21. The weekly concert series airs after Thursday Night Football, with season two featuring performances from stars such as Ed Sheeran, Lil Durk, Feid and Metro Boomin.

Viewers can log in Prime Video on Thursday to begin streaming tonight’s TNF game in addition to other football programs including previous games from last season that are available to stream right now.
