Currently, each NFL regular season game has only one televised presentation, whether it is on FOX, NBC, ESPN, CBS, or the NFL Network. For anyone outside of the free broadcast area for whichever network has the rights to show the game, the only legal option for accessing the Sunday afternoon games on CBS and Fox is to buy the Sunday Ticket package. For example, in the Washington DC area, the only way I would be able to legally watch the Detroit Lions live—unless they were in a special time slot like Thanksgiving, actually made the playoffs (lolz), or play locally against Baltimore or Washington—is if I purchase Sunday Ticket.
Notes: NFL seeks Supreme Court hearing on Sunday Ticket
