Reddit itself isn't a streaming site, reddit is just essentially a bunch of forums, and the NFL streaming subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/nflstreams/ is where people post links to various streams. In my experience almost all of the links posted just result in a barrage of ads (like firstrow) or links to NFL game pass signups. In terms of free streams, firstrow is probably the best one.

what's sunday ticket to go?

Can watch games live from computer, phone, tablet or a gaming console. It is Sunday ticket if you can't get DirecTV at your home.

Google Sunday ticket to go, explains it. Four payments of 50 bucks

VLC plus reddit is currently the best option one of my friends has found. He says there are no connection problems, various qualities, and no commercials for a lot of the broadcasts. He thinks the links are basically direct feeds to a streaming service that is only offered to people outside of the US.

1. Download this video player.

2. Watch this subreddit on game day.

3. Open the topic of the game you want.

What you are looking for is a post that has a long running sentence of hyperlinks to various numbers. It is usually the highest rated comment in the topic. It will look something like:
400 kbps 800 kbps 1600 kbps 2500 kbps 4000 kbps
These are streams of varying quality of the same game. 2500 kbps is 720, and 4000 kbps is 1080. Links are usually nondescript jumbled messes of letters and numbers and they usually have ".m3u8" at the end of it.
4. Right-click and copy the address that your internet can accommodate.

5. Open VLC and from the File menu click "Open Network".

6. Paste your link into the input box.

Boom!

You can test it out now if you want. Here is a link to some ABC affiliate somewhere. Intense crime-based drama currently showing.

Use the links on Acestream for games on Reddit. No ads. HD Streaming, which Firstrow for mostpart isn't.

How are you using first row sports?

If you use google chrome, and use their ad blockers. It is much better. Downloaded the viewer, and used this service for a long time. Never had any issues.
Also you just need to get around the tricks of the few pops you do get after you use the ad blockers. Go to full screen mode. The broadcast, like everything else is as good as your broadband width.
All of their pop ups or most of them have faint grey X to close it out. What you think is the X to close often times is not. This is the biggest irritant on this site. But once you figure that out and use the ad blockers, it is decent. I found google chrome works better than any other browser. As of last year anyway.
This year I am back on Sunday ticket, plus being back home now, I get the local broadcast anyway.

Sup guys,

We're not getting the game in NY. Totally blows.

Any recommendations for better live streaming sites?

first row sports is far to littered with malware, adware, trojans, and other fun stuff to even risk visiting anymore.

Thanks.

Use google chrome and their ad blockers. Then it is fine. I never had any issues with getting any viruses or Trojans from it. Just too many pop ups, but google chrome takes care of that most the time. Also just don't get fooled by the fake X close boxes.....look for the faint grey hidden ones. Go to full screen and you are fine. It will leave the full screen a few times and you just need to may be close out a pop up, and go back to full screen.

Sometimes it's best to pony up the $150 bucks to get the streaming NFL Sunday ticket. It's cheaper than losing $1000 or more because you went to a sketchy site and put your computer at risk to hackers and viruses.
