**NFL RedZone Encounters Technical Problems During Week 9 Games**
NFL RedZone experienced significant technical troubles throughout Sunday’s Week 9 games, causing frustration among many viewers.
A multitude of users flocked to social media to share experiences of issues like choppy, blurry, or practically unwatchable streams. Notably, these complications extended beyond merely streaming services or particular providers. Even cable subscribers, such as myself (yes, I’m a millennial who still has cable), faced freezing and buffering issues.
Here’s a snapshot of some reactions from disgruntled viewers on Twitter:

The precise source of the problem is still uncertain. Numerous users noted that all other channels were operating smoothly, with RedZone being the sole channel experiencing difficulties. I can attest to this as well—every other channel on my TV was functioning properly, whereas RedZone was choppy, persistently buffering, and virtually unviewable.
Around 1 p.m. ET, coinciding with the kickoff of the first wave of games, reports of issues with NFL Network surged on [Down Detector](https://downdetector.com/status/nfl-network/). Although there isn’t a dedicated page for RedZone, this may closely reflect the challenges viewers encountered.
