U.S. District Judge Philip Gutierrez is considering the NFL's post-trial motion in the 'Sunday Ticket' case, as the jury did not follow his instructions in determining damages, awarding $4.7bn to subscribers. Gutierrez could rule in the NFL's favor if the plaintiffs did not prove their case, or order a new trial due to the jury's self-calculated damages. The NFL plans to appeal the verdict, potentially facing $14.1bn in damages under federal antitrust laws, and all payments and changes to the 'Sunday Ticket' package will be stayed until appeals are concluded.
