Earlier today, Microsoft announced expanded ESPN content while you watch sports, and now it is also bringing in the NFL to give sports lovers more to absorb.

The NFL is partnering with Microsoft to let football fans access stats and fantasy football features as they watch games live. Smartglass and Kinect users can interface with exclusive content via these utilities similar to how the ESPN content surfaces via the system's Snap mode side panel.

ESPN sports reporter Darren Rovell has tweeted that the Microsoft/NFL deal is worth $400 million over five years.
