NFL App Error - How to Resolve "Something Went Wrong" Message

I am getting this error a lot. I stream a game for a few minutes and then I get this error. Doesn't matter which game. I checked for an update on the app. I rebooted my Roku device. I have 2 Roku devices and they both have the same issue. Restarted my gateway. I would delete the app and reload it but that option is not available when I click on the options of the app.

I try and get help at the NFL page, they are stating I do not have an account. I am assuming it is because I have the subscription with Roku? 

This is very frustrating.

Thanks

This just starting happenng again at 6:03pm.  Not going to spend any time on this, using my ipad using the NFL app on that mirrored to the TV.  Did NFL redzone come on again at 6pm?

Re: NFL App Error - How to Resolve "Something Went Wrong" Message

I've been having the same issue the past week or so. For 3-4 days, I would select a game (condensed) to play, the spinner would spin, then it would say 33%, then I'd get the message. For the past 3 days, it has been playing about 1 minute of a game, then it abruptly stops and I get the message again. If I click Ok, then try playing again and it shows the game, then I click fast forward beyond where it died, it will play for another minute, then give the message again

 

It plays fine on my PC via a browser and via my Sony TV via the NFL app. I just keep trying to use roku because that's where I watch every other thing that I stream.

 

Just would be nice to get a few months at a time without something happening.

 

My roku:
4660X - Roku Ultra
software 14.0
Serial:YJ0075740223
ID:CX3847740223

The error:

I have done the obligatory "restart", "unplug for minutes", "roku clear cache process (home x5, up, rwnd x2, ffwd x2)", "uninstall/reinstall the app", "sign out of the app, sign into the app". Nothing helps.
