Weird game coverage

I'm watching the Jets/Bengals game on nfl.com/live right now and they sure have some strange coverage. I'm not sure if it's always like this as I've never seen a Thursday night game before, but they keep pulling away from the game and the guys in the booth to go to the three guys in the studio. Then the guys in the studio go down to their people on the field, and not just how other crews do it with maybe a quick bit of video and the rest of it audio, but they keep the video on them the whole time. Instead of showing the action on the field, I'm listening to some guy on the sideline talking about who the heck cares. Then they pulled away from the game while the Jets attempted a field goal at the end of the half. I had to watch the replay to see the failed try. What the heck?

That's because ur watching it on a mobile device it seems and not the actual game coverage ? Usually on the apps the coverage is very different but as far as the game itself it always cuts into the booth and then updates at the flagship station and usually the reporters on the sidelines . On the network while the game is live they never cut away from plays. Especially scoring ones. Hope that helps or makes some sense to ur question. Just remember if u are watching on an app or device other than Fox,CBS,NFL NET, or ESPN the coverage is diff
