According to the YouTube TV Twitter account, the service is having "streaming issues."

DownDetector suggests that those issues are limited to the United States. In other words, everyone at their desk trying to secretly watch the game is SOL.

But hey, maybe there's a silver lining? If YouTube TV doesn't come back online before the game is over, you won't have to see your team lose.
