The Raiders’ Week 4 matchup against the Browns is a big deal for the Raiders and their fans. But a big game for fans doesn’t always equate to interest from NFL broadcasters.
Case in point, a small fraction of the United States will see the Raiders game on local television this week. According to 506sports.com, most of the country will see the Chiefs and Chargers play in Los Angeles during the late slate of games on CBS.
This week’s broadcast map has the Raiders game highlighted in blue, covering the Cleveland and Las Vegas areas. The blue is surrounded by a sea of red representing the Chiefs vs. Chargers.
This will be the third straight week the Raiders are not broadcast in either of their former homes, the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. However, after the team’s poor performance last week, some fans might be relieved they can’t watch.
The Raiders are in dire need of a win after being embarrassed at home by the Panthers last week. Now the Raiders get another chance at their first home victory of the campaign. The game kicks off at 1:25 p.m. Pacific time for those confident enough to watch.
