That experience didn’t go over well for many users on social media who have complained about buffering and lag issues. In response to Beyonce’s announcement, one user on Instagram wrote: “Netflix just proved they can’t handle a boxing match. they wanna try this? I mean i’m gonna watch but fix your stuff first!” In addition to Texans-Ravens, Netflix will also air the earlier game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
