No TV? Bengals may be blacked out Sunday
The first-place Bengals may be greeted home by a lot of empty seats Sunday.
Without “a significant increase” in the pace of ticket sales this week, Sunday’s Bengals vs. Houston game at Paul Brown Stadium will not be a sellout, the team’s ticket office announced today.
Under NFL policy, if the 1 p.m. Sunday game is not sold out 72 hours before kickoff — by 1 p.m. this Thursday — the CBS television broadcast will be blacked out in the Bengals’ home market, which includes Cincinnati, Dayton and Lexington, Ky.
The Bengals have sold out their last 46 regular-season and postseason games in time for local television coverage. The last Bengals home game not to sell out was against Houston on Nov. 9, 2003.
