Help Is it possible to watch NFL games on your phone for free?

short answer: NO

Some years ago, NFL made a deal with Verizon to allow streaming of games - free - on the condition it was only on the VZW network for paying customers of VZW; the deal was made so the nascent NFL Network app could be given some traction. This ended about 3 years ago, so you have to become a subscriber to NFL Network to see games on your mobile device.
It appears that Youtube and Twitter have been streaming certain selected MLB baseball games this season, but I don't know if they have any deal to do the same with football games.

If you're a DirecTV customer, you can watch on your phone--but I'd hardly call it free. :eek:

You not only have to subscribe to their NFL Sunday Ticket package, but their NFL Sunday Ticket Max package:

"Only NFL SUNDAY TICKET brings you every minute of every out-of-market game live every Sunday - and only DIRECTV* has it. And with NFL SUNDAY TICKET MAX, you can stream live games on computers and mobile devices, access NFL.com Fantasy tracking, watch the RED ZONE CHANNEL, and more!"

The very small print says:

"*Subscription renews automatically each season at the prevailing rate (currently $293.94/season) unless you call to cancel prior to start of season."
