NFL World Reacts To Special ‘Prime Football’ Designed For ‘Thursday Night Football’ Games On Amazon

Amazon made a bizarre announcement about the football they claim will be used during the “Thursday Night Football games that has fans scratching their heads.

Heat coming from this new Prime ball on Thursday nights 🔥 … New team. New ball. New season. Let’s Ride! #TNFonPrime

Rams QB Matthew Stafford also promoted the football in a video that shows him throwing the ball 100 yards.
