The 506NFL maps of TV coverage this week.
 
The entire nation is subject to Dal - Philly 4pm Sunday? That should be entertaining.
 
Besides the Pats, most interesting games of the week seem to be the Thursday Den @ KC and the Sunday night Sea @ GB.  Mondays NYJ @ Ind may also give some better insight to how good / bad each of these teams really are after their first week blowouts.

I suspect it's because Oakland and Jacksonville host games at the same time and the networks usually have rules that allow for blackouts of other games during those times.

This is exactly right.  If you live near SF but don't really care about the local teams, what's available on broadcast often is limited/undesirable.

Oh yea, I didn't even think of that.  Thanks guys.  For some reason I was thinking the DAL/PHI game was the ONLY game during that time.  Makes way more sense now.

Denver has the longest divisional road win streak in NFL history on the line tonight - 12, tied with the 87-90 Niners. Tonight is a fantastic opportunity for KC to end that. While I think they are very good and Peyton looks like shit, I fully expect KC to shit the bed.

Prove me wrong, Andy Reid and Alex Smith.

On the front page of ESPN right now:
 
 
The problem isn't so much a clear decline for Peyton Manning. It's that any decline is going to be exacerbated by Denver's green offensive line, Aaron Schatz writes.
 
So, Peyton hasn't necessarily declined, but if he has it's mostly because of his line.  Keep carrying that water, chumps.

I think you're reaching here. My reaction when I saw the article was that the essence of his point was that we have two things going in the wrong direction, all of which bodes poorly for Denver's offense. It didn't read at all like an apologia for Manning, nor does the ESPN headline in all honesty. And it's not like Schatz (known Pats fan, though he is pretty good about not letting that seep into his analysis) is a Manning ball-washer.

All aboard the Peyton excuse train.
 
I'm expecting he is going to look absolutely awful tonight given his age, the number of times he was hit last week, and the short week to prep for this game.

Grabbed Peyton under 260.5 yards (-115) and over .5 interceptions (+125).  Thanks bovada!

I was excited bc I thought Collinsworth was doing this game and if anyone will call a spade a spade (i.e. Peyton sucks) it would be him. Then, I thought it was Mayock and I was like oh he might do that too! Finally, I realized it's actually Simms. Sigh.

I don't think it's fair that Peyton gets to use a Segway to go on and off the field

Also, love how that guy tried to give the ref a high five and the ref just kind of stared at him.

So the Bronco's D is just shooting themselves in the foot with these personal fouls.
