Netflix experienced several flubs during the first few minutes of its NFL streaming debut on Christmas Day.

The streaming service's pregame coverage of the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers kicked off with host Kay Adams, whose microphone was silent for about 10 seconds. The broadcast then cut into an ad for Squid Games season 2 in the middle of Mina Kimes' analysis several minutes later, cutting back to the broadcast as if nothing happened.

Netflix previously experienced several issues during the live broadcast of the boxing match between Boxing Hall of Famer and former undisputed world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson loss to social media influencer Jake Paul on November 15. Fans were livid by the fight itself, which many online deemed to be boring and a cash-grab, as well as Netflix's streaming issues throughout the night, with the service trending as many customers experienced buffering issues during the rest of the card, including Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy.

"Im in the classic torture chamber where I cant tell if my internet keeps going out or whether #Netflix is just constantly buffering and unwatchable for everybody," Portnoy wrote on his X account. "So the reports are in. #Netflix wasnt ready for this. This is unwatchable."

"Credit to Jake Paul + Mike Tyson for pulling off one of the great cons of century. I shoulda put 10 million on Jake. Not cause he's good but cause he fought a senior citizen. I would say everybody involved should be ashamed but I'd take the money it too if I could. #TysonPaul," Portnoy added in another post.

The NFL reportedly discussed potential streaming issues with Netflix and was "reassured" that they'd be resolved, ESPN reported in November.
