Bengals-Chargers Game Is NFL's First Local Blackout Of Season

Today's Bengals-Chargers game at Qualcomm Stadium was blacked out locally, marking the first blackout of the NFL season. The Chargers had "more than 5,300 general tickets unsold" as of the league’s Thursday afternoon deadline, "too many to warrant a 24-hour extension from the league." The team last month "narrowly avoided a blackout" for an "MNF" game against the Colts. Local sponsors "stepped forward, and with help also from ESPN, that game was shown." This time, no sponsors "stepped up" (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 11/29).
