Attendance for Buffalo's blacked-out game Sunday against Jacksonville was 63,608. That was a larger crowd than Miami at Detroit and Tampa Bay at Dallas on Thanksgiving Day, Arizona at Minnesota Sunday afternoon and Philadelphia at Indianapolis Sunday night. It seems particularly unfair to have games blacked out in Buffalo but not in Dallas, a major market with a smaller stadium.

It is unfair. The Black-Out rule should be altered to reflect the seating capacity for the smallest stadium in the league and then equally applied to all
venues to determine whether or not the game is shown locally on TV.

We all can agree that everyone likes a "nice little piece" now and then.
