Amazon partners with the NFL to stream the first-ever exclusive game on Black Friday via Prime Video. This move combines sports and shopping, allowing advertisers to reach a large fan base. Viewers can shop deals during the game by scanning a QR code on screen. While the exact list of items is yet to be unveiled, Amazon says to expect big savings on brands like LEGO, Dyson, Nintendo, Beats and more. It will be interesting to see how effective this integration is and how many viewers will make purchases during the game! 👀 🛍
