Federal judge reverses $4.7 billion verdict in NFL 'Sunday Ticket' case

In June, a jury reached a verdict in the long-running NFL "Sunday Ticket" antitrust lawsuit in which the league would pay $4.7 billion to a group of plaintiffs. But U.S. District Judge Philip Gutierrez ruled Thursday that testimony from two of the plaintiffs was flawed.

"[T]he Court does not find that it would be unreasonable for a juror to find that there was a conspiracy that unreasonably restrained trade," the judge wrote. There was evidence in the record – even without the testimonies.
