Amazon brings new AI-driven features to Thursday Night Football
Amazon is bringing new AI-driven features to Thursday Night Football (TNF) for the 2023 NFL season. These features aim to provide deeper insights and analysis for viewers, and they include:
Defensive Alerts: This feature uses machine learning to predict when defensive players are likely to blitz the quarterback. A red orb will appear around the players of interest to let viewers know who to focus on.

Next Gen Stats: This feature provides viewers with advanced data and analytics on player performance, including speed, acceleration, and distance traveled.
