DAZN, having taken some James Harrison-type headshots from its critics, has since apologized, as has the NFL, and on Thursday it said that many of the issues faced Sunday had been resolved. But for Canadians who have been lamenting that they just want Sunday Ticket available again through non-digital means, there is a more significant bit of news coming from DAZN: they could be providing that, too.

“We are working very closely with the NFL on some solutions for that,” Alex Rice, DAZN’s managing director of strategic development, said in an interview on Friday morning.

It’s too early to say what those solutions would be, though the most obvious would be allowing television service providers to offer Sunday Ticket like they did in seasons past, and it’s unclear how soon that could happen. Not days, but weeks, most likely.

But whatever develops, it’s clear that DAZN wasn’t prepared to provide this service in Canada, and clear that the NFL hadn’t fully considered the impact of selling its Sunday Ticket rights to a streaming-only service in the league’s second-biggest market. So yes, there are Roger Goodell blunders that don’t involve league discipline or franchise relocation.

The problems with DAZN — and we should note here that this as first-world as problems get — affect two different types of NFL viewer. The first are those who were willing to pay the relatively cheap $20 monthly fee, who are comfortable streaming to a phone or laptop, or who view that stream on their television through a device like AppleTV or a game console. Those people just want it to work, with a clear, smooth picture and minimal delay. It didn’t work for many subscribers on the opening weekend.
