For the first time, sports fans can watch the Twitter live stream of tonight's NFL Thursday Night Football game on SI.com. 

During the 2016 season, Thursday Night Football games will be available to stream on SI.com thanks to a new syndication partnership between Twitter and Time Inc.

The NFL announced in April that it would partner with Twitter to stream 10 Thursday night games on the social networking site in an effort to enhance the two-screen experience already employed by many viewers. Twitter has in turn partnered with Time Inc. to make the games available for free on SI.com.

The experience on SI.com will include the live Twitter video as well as a related timeline of tweets during the game.

You can stream tonight's game between the Jets and the Bills here, and find the schedule for the rest of the season's streamable games below.
