Will the game be broadcasted over the air?

This year is actually different. ESPN has been lobbying for a playoff game for years and finally the NFL gave them one. This game will be broadcast on ESPN nationally and to the highest bidder locally. That means if you are not within a stones throw of Charlotte or Glendale you could be scrambling for coverage. 

 

 

 

Similar to regular-season MNF games, ESPN’s Wild Card telecast will be simulcast on over the air stations in the primary markets of the participating teams; it will also be available via WatchESPN for fans who subscribe to an affiliated provider.

The fact Carolina and Arizona are playing on ESPN is not a coincidence. Arizona's QB situation and Carolina's record made it the ideal game to put on a cable network.

 

Simply put, it sucks. Paying for cable TV is the most frustrating rip off. I envy people that can get by without it. 

 

Edit: For what it's worth. My TV guide on ATT uverse is showing the game broadcast locally on Channel 36 (NBC).

Thanks for all the information. Yeah, they live in Indian Trail. Should be good.

Yeah. The uverse guide is all wrong. NBC has the late Saturday game but not listed then and our early game isn't listed on any local station or even ESPN. Hopefully they'll update it one of these nights soon or the recording on my dvr will be titled Sportscenter lol.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)

      looks like the Lions and Bangles should forget about the playoffs, trade everyone they can, and start over.
