NFL network and nfl games

Using what channel? They do not offer the NFL Network so if games are locally shown and not be blocked by your local network (for streaming) then yes.

If I have a firestick, it has nfl network as an app, however, directv nor direct tv stream are authorized user to sign on. I think every other satellite, cable company are authorized. Why does att not authorize the use?

Because the service is not satellite or cable but internet streaming. If you must have it then there are other options.

What "other options?"  I was sold on this until I find out I will miss football games every Thursday, all fall.  Why not offer NFL Network?

Ask DirecTV Stream. I assume they are not willing to pay the price to obtain the channel. They are other services that offer it.

argh! It's always something lol.   I just signed up and being it's not football season I missed that NFL network was not included.   I really dont understand why they cant offer channels like this for like $5 more a month or something to at least give people an option.

Personally, I am stuck because I watch the michael kay show and ny yankees pretty much daily and the YES network is only carrier by DirectTV Stream, so they have a monopoly on that and this is my only option.   If they drop Yes though, I guess I am back to cable.   

I too do not understand why they can't offer it for direct tv stream customers.  Even if it cost a small fee, stream viewers should have the option to purchase or not

They offered it years ago but dropped it due to costs. Don't expect it back soon if ever. If they ever do you can sure expect a price increase.

DirecTV satellite yes, but the streaming service does not offer the NFL network.
