8 ways to use your Amazon Devices to enhance your 'Thursday Night Football' viewing experience

On gameday, just say, “Alexa, play Thursday Night Football,” to get straight to the livestream on your Fire TV or Echo Show devices. And, so you never forget and can see everything in one place, you can ask, “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.

You can use your voice to access X-Ray capabilities, an exclusive set of features on Prime Video that help you dive deeper into the game. Just say, “Alexa, show me X-Ray stats,” to open X-Ray and navigate Real-Time, Game Leader, and Next Gen Stats powered by AWS—like a quarterback’s average time to throw, or a wide receiver’s average yards of separation.

Alexa makes it easier than ever to settle those gameday debates and dig deeper into live player, team, and game stats, all without interrupting the stream. Try asking, “Alexa, who has the most tackles?” or “Alexa, how long was that pass?” to see just how deep in the game Alexa really is. Want to stay up to date with happenings around the league? No problem. Try asking, “Alexa, who leads the NFL in passing yards?” or “Alexa, what were Patrick Mahomes’ stats last game?” and you’ll get a quick response without taking your eyes off the action.

New this season, you can test your football knowledge daily throughout the NFL season with Alexa’s newest game, Touchdown Trivia. Each day, you’ll be tested on current season and historical trivia, with a few TNF-specific surprises along the way. Just say, “Alexa, open Touchdown Trivia” on your Echo Show Devices to jump into this immersive, full-screen experience.

Miss one of the big plays during a snack break? Just say, “Alexa, play the last touchdown” to get caught up on the action.

New this season, you can create custom Routines that are automatically initiated when your favorite NFL team’s game begins, ends, or at half-time, so you never miss a play. For example, when the game is about to start, Alexa can automatically turn on your connected Fire TV, play your favorite hype song, and make an announcement to all your devices that it’s gametime. Simply open the Routines section in the Alexa app and tap the + button in the top-right-hand corner to create a new Routine.

New this season, you can now not only follow teams, but also your favorite players and your favorite night for football—Thursday, of course. For teams, just say, “Alexa, follow the Kansas City Chiefs” for schedule, scores, and breaking news notifications. For players, just say, “Alexa, follow Patrick Mahomes” for postgame stats, awards, and breaking news notifications. For TNF, just say, “Alexa, follow Thursday Night Football” for notifications that help you catch every TNF game and all the Fire TV exclusive features.
