Lions vs. Ravens gets an unusual broadcast map

The Week 7 matchup between the Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens is one of two games this weekend pitting first-place teams against one another. It’s also the most appealing game of national interest for viewers.

However, the game won’t be seen everywhere around the country, though viewers in Michigan are safe. FOX Sports has the broadcast feed for the game, which kicks at 1 p.m. ET in Baltimore. The top team of Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen will have the call, signifying the prominence of the game.

The Lions vs. Ravens game coverage is in red on the map, via 506 Sports.

This is a week where CBS gets the doubleheader of early and late-afternoon games, not FOX. So fans in the blue and orange markets won’t get the game at all; those are reserved for the late-afternoon kicks between the Steelers and Rams (blue) and Seahawks and Cardinals (orange).

If you live in those affected markets and want to catch the Lions, you’ll need to plan ahead for alternate ways like NFL Sunday Ticket or visiting a restaurant that show games.
