Playing the Tennessee Titans last week, this year’s No. 1 draft pick Williams became the first quarterback drafted first overall to win his NFL debut in over 20 years. The 2022 Heisman Trophy winner put up 14-of-29 passes for 93 passing yards, as well as five carries and 15 rushing yards.

The real draw with most of these cable streaming services (over Peacock) is that you get a free trial.

After the free trial, all of them start around $80 a month. Right now, however, all are offering discounts as well: DirecTV is offering up to $39 off your first three bills, fubo is offering $30 off your first month, and Hulu + Live TV is offering $30 back after your first month.

Peacock doesn’t offer a free trial (and doesn’t have the same variety of channels) but it’s much more affordable than the streamers above at just $7.99 a month, or $13.99 a month if you want to remove ads on on-demand content.
