In the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs have played 11 games and have prevailed in all but one of them, and they have a bond opposite of MU’s: Each of KC’s outings have been carried on a traditional TV outlet available in the ×îÐÂÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ market.

But both trends are about to change, a significant development to those who still don’t stream but a nonevent to many who go all-in on that option.

The Chiefs entertain the Las Vegas Raiders on Black Friday in a contest at 2 p.m. to be streamed nationally by Amazon Prime Video. While that feed also will be available over the air in the participating teams’ cities, it only will be streamed in the rest of the nation. In other words: no broadcast TV or cable/satellite coverage.

That’s how the Chiefs’ first-round playoff game last season was shown, when Peacock had the initial exclusively streamed NFL postseason contest. KC beat visiting Miami in that one, which was played on a frigid night. (The NFL has another opening-weekend postseason contest this season headed for the same kind of streaming setup, this time on Amazon Prime Video.)

Meanwhile, the Chiefs’ game Friday won’t be their only one this season to be exclusively streamed outside the local markets. Netflix has their Christmas Day contest, a home matchup at noon against Pittsburgh. (Netflix also has the other NFL game on that holiday, Baltimore-Houston at 3:30 p.m.)

At the other end of the spectrum, Mizzou’s men’s basketball team entertains California at 6 p.m. Tuesday, and cable’s SEC Network is set to show the matchup that’s part of the SEC/ACC Challenge (yeah, Cal is in the Atlantic Coast Conference now despite its campus nearly abutting the Pacific Ocean). Then the Tigers’ ensuing contest, a noon home game against Kansas on Dec. 8 (a Sunday), will be on ESPN2.

Three of MU’s next four matchups after that are against lower-tier nonconference foes and are set for the streaming-only route. The exception in that stretch is the annual Braggin’ Rights game in ×îÐÂÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´, in which the Tigers play Illinois. That’s set for ESPN on Dec. 22, albeit with the far-from-ideal noon tipoff time on a Sunday — a day on which the NFL playoff races will be at a key juncture and some people might prefer to be at home and channel flipping.

Once Southeastern Conference play begins in early January, all but one of the Tigers’ league outings are scheduled to be available to the non-streaming crowd.
