I am gonna say they all get waxed, imo.Chargers D held the Raiders to 19 with 3 Derek Carr Interceptions and technically held the Chiefs to 20 with 3 Mahomes turnover worthy plays. Not sure what chance the Jags, Texans and Browns have the next three weeks.

Amazon’s TNF debut compounds NFL week one streaming woes - SportsPro
Prime Video viewers left frustrated by poor video quality and choppy feed during coverage of Chiefs vs Chargers.www.sportspromedia.com
Amazon suffered various teething problems during its first broadcast of Thursday Night Football (TNF), with viewers complaining of poor video quality and buffering during the National Football League (NFL) broadcast.
The internet giant is reportedly paying north of US$1 billion per year to be the exclusive broadcaster of TNF for the next decade, having previously shared the rights with a linear broadcaster.
The deal marks the first time the NFL has made an entire package of games available exclusively on a streaming service, a move that was likely to cause a period of adjustment for fans.
Many viewers who tuned in for the Kansas City Chiefs versus the Los Angeles Chargers noted the disappointing picture quality, regular freezing and choppy feed. Cable customers also took the chance to again complain about having to sign up for Amazon Prime to watch TNF.
An Amazon Prime subscription costs US$14.99 a month or US$139 a year. A Prime Video membership costs US$8.99 a month. Fans can also access a 30-day free trial.
The streaming issues were not universal, but it compounds a tricky first week for the NFL on the over-the-top (OTT) front.
YouTube TV suffered errors when fans tried to purchase NFL RedZone, while the new NFL+ service had usability issues including fast-forward malfunctions. DirecTV’s NFL Sunday Ticket website and app crashed on opening weekend, preventing some from accessing the stream. Error messages also hit Sling TV subscribers, stopping them from viewing RedZone.
SportsPro says…
The general consensus was that Prime Video held up during preseason, but its TNF debut was always going to be a different challenge due to increased traffic.
Technical gremlins, amplified by skeptical fans, are nothing new. But they are becoming all too frequent for OTT platforms. Notably, CBS All Access crashed at the start of last year’s Super Bowl.
If streaming really wants to unseat linear TV as the favoured way of watching sport, then its technical infrastructure needs to be watertight. Considering the NFL’s leaky first week of coverage, there are many gaps to plug.
Glad I had no issues watching.
Probably. Chiefs only converting 1/3 of their third down conversions is very low, though, so Im not sure if thats just a 1 game thing or the Chargers D is elite. I think the Chiefs had 3 drives stall after having 2nd and short. Maybe it was just two drives. Regardless, that type of thing didnt happen much last year.I am gonna say they all get waxed, imo.

True, especially since Prime is fine for all other shows...It's Prime. You can't blame the IP for 90% of people having an issue.
