Rams Fans United - Los Angeles Rams Fan Discussion Forum

Nope, they never switched games in LA. They keep the game on until the bitter end.

Yeah, many people had the game switched to the Lions/Saints because the Rams game was a blowout AND boring.

It's happened to other teams before, especially when it isn't a Nationally televised game or relevant. There was only so much they could stroke Brady's balls and they had to switch to a game where something might happen.

thanks, i didn't think so.

It happened in SD & other markets.

Oops, my bad. Thanks for the correction.

They switched in St. Louis, maybe that's the "home" market being referred to...

Funny thing, I have Sunday Ticket and had to attend my son's Christmas Parade in town. So, the only negative with the Sunday Ticket app is they blackout the games on your phone if its aired on local Fox and CBS. The local game on Fox was Eagles-Bengals until Sunday morning then it was switched to Rams -Pats which meant it was on local South Jersey and blocked from my app. LOL. Did not miss much!

Yeah, it can be annoying.
NFL mobile shows the local game on their app, which where I am in NJ is the Eagles, so I could watch it there.
Direct tv app blacked it out because my local fox was showing it
So I was at my daughter dance recital and checked the miserable scores.
I recorded the game on DVR and was zipping thru last night to see how Goff played.
I wanted to see in particular what the pass play to Britt looked like, but they cut to the Saints game in the 4th Q
Ugh!

Based upon Twitter that outside of LA, everyone else in the US that had the Rams/Pats was switched. That included St. Louis.

While the local Fox station switched, the Fox Sports Go app kept the Rams game in St. Louis.

I dont know if the app is different or not, but if your local affiliate switches games you can go back and select the game listed with the other sunday ticket games.

Same holds true for a game that might be in OT. if your local affiliate is showing the OT game you can select the sunday ticket and watch it until the ot game is over.
