What you’re asking for is distributions to roll their own solutions instead of contributing upstream to make it better for everyone. Distributions and the organizations behind them frequently do things to make the user experience better, it’s just that the preferred way to do this is by making the projects they use better…which will just look like a DE version bump by the time it makes it to a distro changelog.
nfl-video.com is up to date though the quality is poor and there’s a delay of a few hours.
Sunday Ticket isn’t required for legal viewing if you’re willing to watch replays, btw. NFL+ Premium is $15/mo or $100/season and contains replays of all games.
