The first HD NFL game was a divisional battle between the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets on November 8, 1998 from Giant’s Stadium. That HD broadcast was a totally separate feed from the standard definition feed, and served as a test for CBS, who only aired the game on WCBS in New York City.

CBS broadcast two other regular season games and one playoff game in 1998. While these other games were broadcast nationwide, the high definition feed was only available on the CBS Digital Television Network, which was very limited at that time.

Crazy but true! Of course in typical Buffalo fashion, the HD feed was only available in NYC....

I remember GG talking about the game here on the wall. I can't believe that was 10 years ago.

I remember the broadcasters mentioning that it was a historic game as the first HD game. I basically had zero idea what they were talking about because it was probably still a few more years before I'd even watch anything in HD. I can't believe that was 10 years ago either.

And now, in 2008, it's tough to watch anything that isn't in HD.
