How to Watch the NFL on My Computer

The National Football League has a unique television broadcasting schedule. TV broadcasts are usually regional, with the exception of a few nationally televised games. Fortunately, the Internet is giving viewers more options. The NFL currently offers several legal ways for you to watch any already-played game on your computer, the most popular method is via NFL Game Rewind. Unfortunately, live games are not currently available on your computer (unless you are a Direct TV customer). The alternatives to these methods are illegal; non-authorized online streams of live NFL games are usually disbanded; legal action is sometimes taken against those who view them.
