NFL Twitter In Disbelief as Matthew Stafford Throws an Easy 100 Yard TD With NFL’s New Ball: “Feels Like Old ‘Draft Me’ Fantasy Football Commercials”

Thursday Night Football will never be the same and the defending Super Bowl Champion Matthew Stafford has just proven that. The NFL is now stepping towards a future that might change the game for good. For the first time, the league has joined hands with a streaming platform namely Amazon Prime Video, for a new edition of Thursday Night Football which promises to deliver more action and even more thrill.

After the e-commerce conglomerate acquired the rights of TNF, the NFL formalized a huge change in the game. Amazon through its NFL on Prime Video social media accounts announced the release of a new ball termed the Prime Ball exclusively for Thursday Night Football. This ball is slimmer and slightly elongated than a usual football, which Amazon claims makes it “faster”, “more Aerodynamic” and has a “better grip.”

The one that dropped the jaws of the fans was by Super Bowl champion Matthew Stafford. The 34-year-old QB who has just returned from an elbow injury threw the new ball for a bizarre 100-yard touchdown. Posting the clip on his new Instagram account Stafford wrote, “Elbow’s feeling good… this new Prime ball will really fly on Thursday Night Football. @nflonprime” 

Although his video shook the internet, many fans suspected the clip to be fake.

As pointed out by a fan, his clips brought back the “feels like the old ‘draft me’ fantasy football commercials.”

However, many also believed Stafford to have the arm for it.

Russell Wilson and Justin Herbert showcase their unreal skill with the new ball

Russell Wilson and Justin Herbert’s skill with the new ball was equally impressive and hilariously fake. Although fans pointed out the flaws in the unreal clips, however, Amazon’s attempt to catch eyeballs worked well.

With the Chargers playing against the Chiefs on September 15 in the first Thursday Night Football game of the season, the fierce AFC West battle between Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert is going to be a must-watch.

Despite the hype about the new ball, it will take time for fans to settle into NFL’s new attempt to bring more thrill to the game. Many fans also criticized the unusual shape of the ball. Although the Prime Ball is only set to be used in TNF, but would it be a good idea to use it to add more spice to the Postseason games too?
