    You can use your voice to access X-Ray capabilities, an exclusive set of features on Prime Video that help you experience content. Just say, “Alexa, open X-Ray,” so you can see real-time stats while watching the game, like a quarterback’s average time to throw or a wide receiver’s average yards of separation.
  • 2. New ways to ask Alexa in-game questions on Fire TV
    Now, you can easily ask Alexa in-game questions about the game you’re watching without interrupting the stream. Try asking, “Alexa, how many rushing yards do the Chiefs have today?” or “Alexa, who has the most tackles today?” and you’ll get a quick response, with no distractions or interruptions to the game.

  • 4. Unlock unlimited playback capabilities by adding the game to your Prime Video Watchlist with Alexa
    You have access to unlimited playback capabilities when you record the games through Prime Video, giving you the ability to watch your favorite teams play again and again until 2023. Simply say, “Alexa, add Thursday Night Football to my Watchlist,” and all Thursday Night Football games for the season will be added to your Prime Video Watchlist and automatically recorded.
  • 5. Follow your favorite teams with Alexa
    Love your team, but can’t always catch the big game live or keep up with their trade and injury news? Alexa can help with that. Just ask Alexa to follow your favorite football team by saying, Alexa, follow the Seattle Seahawks,” and Alexa will send notifications about their schedule, scores, and breaking news to your Fire TV or Echo device, or through the Alexa app on your phone, so you never miss a beat.
