This could be a significant announcement if it really allows All Access subs to
access any game that CBS is covering. In essence it is almost half (Fox has the
other half) of what you get with NFL Sunday ticket from DirecTV, which costs
more than $200/year. You don't get Monday and Thursday night games.
You could get All Access for 4-5 months a year for less than $50.

CBS All Access Scores NFL Games
Streaming service to start offering NFL games Dec. 4
December 1, 2016
By Michael Balderston
NEW YORK-Do a touchdown dance CBS All Access subscribers, because starting
Dec. 4, you will be able to stream live "NFL on CBS" games through the
streaming service. CBS Corporation and the NFL have agreed to a multiyear
deal for this new service that will include all coverage of regular,
preseason and postseason games.
All "NFL on CBS" games will now be available for live streaming on CBS All
Access, including "Thursday Night Football" on CBS, pregame and halftime
coverage, and local market games. The NFL coverage will be available on all
tablets and connected device platforms that carry the CBA All Access app, as
well as online on cbs.com.
Another part of the deal will kick off next season, allowing CBS All Access
and eligible pay TV subscribers to stream "NFL on CBS" content on NFL digital
properties, like the NFL mobile app. Users can also sample content from NFL
Game Pass, a digital video subscription service that provides on-demand games
and programming.
"This deal is a great addition to our ongoing strategy of expanding
availability of NFL games to fans on as many platforms as possible," said
Hans Schroeder, senior vice president or media revenue, strategy and
development for the NFL. "By including all 'NFL on CBS' games on CBS All
Access, we have the opportunity to reach more NFL fans in more places than
ever."
