Analysis: Yahoo's NFL deal to provide more cord-cutting momentum?

And it could be a watershed moment for the cord-cutting set. That's because live sports contests are one of the few things that remain hard to see without a pay-TV subscription, and when it comes to sports in this country, it doesn't get any bigger than the NFL.

"Sports is a major driver of pay-TV subscription uptake in many parts of the world," said Brett Sappington, director of research at Parks Associates, a tech industry research firm. "If sports becomes widely available on streaming services, it could drive a further shift in viewing to online."

At first blush, Yahoo's deal with the NFL doesn't look like it would be that significant. Under the deal's terms, Yahoo will broadcast one -- yep, just one -- NFL game this fall. The contest, which will be held in London, will be on the air at 8:30 a.m. Central, which is not exactly prime time. And the contest will pit the Buffalo Bills against Jacksonville Jaguars, neither of which counts among the league's powerhouses or its most popular teams.
