The NFL's Current 10 Biggest Rivalries (1:35)

We're only through two weeks of the 2024 NFL season, and yet, Buffalo Wild Wings is already under fire for "shady" behavior. 

Earlier this week, a video of a Buffalo Wild Wings location using StreamEast to play the Cowboys-Saints game surfaced on social media. That's a huge issue considering it's an illegal streaming platform. It's also worth noting that restaurants like Buffalo Wild Wings are supposed to use "Sunday Ticket" to broadcast games that aren't being played in their area. 

The only reason Buffalo Wild Wings got caught "cheating the system" is because they forgot to expand their computer's window all the way. 

It didn't take long for fans to chime in with their thoughts on this dilemma. Some people believe it's not that big of a deal. Others, however, find it ridiculous that Buffalo Wild Wings couldn't just pay for "Sunday Ticket." 

"Dang folks don't understand that Sunday ticket for a restaurant business is crazy," one fan said. "Hate they got snitched on like this cause the NFL definitely about to be on them." 

"As long as they didn't have a cover fee I don't see what the issue is," another fan tweeted. 

"This is why we can't have nice things," a third fan wrote.

It's possible that Buffalo Wild Wings is trying to cut down on its costs and switch over to StreamEast for the NFL season. That wouldn't be a great idea though. 

If the NFL ends up finding out that Buffalo Wild Wings is illegally streaming games, things could get ugly.
