that's been the case for the past 2 seasons, no direcTV required.
you can access from your mobile app or log in NFL.COM for game pass.
I had Sunday Tix since 1997, it think it was $79.99 for the season, without the requirement of buying monthly direct tv programing...... but after 18 straight seasons I finally cancelled 2 years ago and tried Game Pass and it fit my needs.
BTW, we should plan to meet at a Rams game together this year..........Last season I met Les1962 at the game from the herd board for the Bills game... even though the Ram lost, it was a great game day experience for me. I'm definitely going back to watch a game or two from the stands this season.
