Week 15 Television Coverage: Might As Well Call Bengals And Rams A National Game

by Josh Kirkendall on Dec 17, 2011 9:00 PM EST in Media

One benefit with the Cincinnati Bengals playing in St. Louis this weekend is that fans within Cincinnati's market won't have to deal with choppy internet streams that offer limited quality. Nope. This weekend Bengals fans from nearly across the country can plant their collective butts onto the seat of their couches as the Bengals square off against the Rams this Sunday with a 1 p.m. kickoff time. Check the506.com television coverage chart to see if you're market is showing the Bengals -- and most of you will be able to.

If you're within the Cincinnati market, residents will receive two late games on Fox and CBS this weekend. On Fox the Detroit Lions will hopefully pick off many Carson Palmer passes, helping the Bengals eliminate another Wild Card contender in the Oakland Raiders. Yet the game of interest that Cincinnatians (and most of the nation) will see is the Denver Broncos hosting the New England Patriots. Does anyone fear how Bill Belichick will inspire his team to prove something (and we're not talking about inspirations of God here).

I'm glad I have the internet

Even if I had cable or and antenna that got reception where I live, I’d be stuck with Miami @ Buffalo. WTH do they have Oregon set for that game… we’re nowhere near either of those teams… furthermore wth do they put Tenn@Ind in that small area of Cali? Who determines this stuff?

I'm glad that the Bengals are showing here in SoCal, but...

…goodness gracious, what a non-compelling game. They can’t show the Bengals & Steelers/Ravens/Texans nationally, but the Rams? CBS’s gotta be in a funk this weekend if this is their most interesting early contest.

Glad Richmond, VA Gets the Game

It was a pleasant surprise to check DirecTV schedule and see the Bengals/Rams game slated at 1:00PM EST! Last night, we watched my alma mater Ohio defeat Utah State in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (that’s the real name of the bowl game). So, today Santa Claus delivers another early Christmas present as the Bengals are on TV! Who Dey and Merry Christmas Jungle Friends!
