NFL fans had the same issue with Amazon Prime Video’s broadcast of the Atlanta Falcons-Tampa Bay Buccaneers game on ‘Thursday Night Football.’
The Falcons and Bucs are squaring off in the third-to-last game of Thursday Night Football this year. Amazon will also carry the Los Angeles Rams-Seattle Seahawks game in Week 16 and the Denver Broncos-Kansas City Chiefs game on Christmas Day.
But it only took a few minutes after kickoff for disgruntled fans to voice their displeasure with the game broadcast tonight. Specifically, the line of scrimmage color that blends in with Tampa Bay’s “Creamsicles” jerseys.
“I’m sure this line of scrimmage color for the Buccaneers game isn’t going to piss me off all night,” a fan wrote.

“I understand the color scheme tonight for TNF but the first down line and the line of scrimmage line being almost the same color is bothering me far more than it should,” a user wrote.

The Falcons have been a tremendous disappointment this season, but this Thursday Night Football clash is pivotal for Tampa Bay. They enter tonight with a 71.0% chance of making the playoffs, according to ESPN.
Atlanta’s 2026 first-round pick belongs to the Los Angeles Rams. So they want to win every game they can, too.
