The issue impacted multiple YouTube platforms, according to the company.

"If you're experiencing buffering issues on YouTube our team is aware and working on a fix," YouTube said in a social media post. "YouTube TV or NFL Sunday Ticket may also be impacted."

A spokeswoman for Google directed USA TODAY Sports' request for comment to that statement. The NFL had no comment.
