17. I Really Don't Get...

...how the NFL benefits from this.
Peacock is owned by Comcast/NBC. NBC is an NFL partner.
What is gained by the NFL to not have, at least in the local markets, this televised on the NBC station or affiliate?
And, I'm not seeing how Comcast benefits. The ad buy rate would go up if there were more people watching.
I don't see the business logic of limiting the potential audience.
