You're about to get a lot more football content online, thanks to NFL and YouTube.

As part of the renewal, and for the first time ever on YouTube, the NFL will make available some of the most exciting games in NFL history. Three of the most memorable games for each of the 32 clubs in the NFL will be posted to the NFL’s official channel on YouTube prior to the start of the 2016 season.

Pretty cool, huh?

In addition to three classic games per team, the NFL is aiming to have "game highlights uploaded to YouTube while games are in progress" through a handy dandy Google search.

Those Google searches will "display official NFL video along with related news and information, all delivered to the user in one distinct box at the top of the search results," the release continues. "Kickoff time and broadcast information for every NFL game will also be prominently displayed in Google Search."
