Testing new NFL extractor...

[RingoTheDog]

Great to see the new NFL extractor, but while I was experimenting discovered a few URLs that it failed on:

These are the same video:

Hi, @RingoTheDog,

thank you for your report! However, next time be sure to open separate issues for different problems, it is easier to track solved/unsolved issues that way.

For the first issue - I will see if it can be supported when I have a bit more time, maybe on the weekend.

As for the second issue - for the time being use youtube-dl <URL> -F to see the available formats, and pick a format code with akamaiProg streaming, for example for your given URL the format code of the highest quality with akamaiProg streaming would be 9. The run youtube-dl <URL> -f <format_code> to download it. akamaiProg seems to provide more reasonable filesizes. I guess it should be made the prefered one.

Thanks man!!
Amazing as always!

Support for team micro-sites as in the provided URL has been added and will be available in the next version of youtube-dl.
