This tracks with my cruise ship experience - the feeds available on Royal Caribbean and NCL appear to be ESPN's Caribbean feed; it's branded as simply "ESPN", but unsurprisingly there's a larger focus on footie, and they're pushing the ESPN Play app (the localized version of WatchESPN/ESPN3). Sunday NFL games, including the Sunday Night game, appear to pick up the US feed with ESPN/local commercials inserted (which creates an occasional problem when master control can't keep up with the varying length/frequency of breaks). The feed almost always cut off immediately after the game was complete, so no post-game coverage.
