The Arizona Cardinals return home in Week 5 after playing three of their first four games on the season on the road. They take on the 2-2 Detroit Lions at State Farm Stadium on Sunday in a late afternoon game kicking off at 4:25 p.m. ET (1:25 p.m. Arizona time).
The game will air on FOX as part of the network’s Week 5 doubleheader.
However, not that many people will see the Cardinals and Lions game. Another FOX game gets almost all the national coverage.
Check out the below graphic from 506 Sports.
FOX has two games in the 4:25 p.m. ET time slot. The network’s game of the week is 49ers-Seahawks, and that will air everywhere in the pink areas. The game between the Cardinals and Lions will get little more than TV coverage in the two teams’ home markets. The game will air in the blue areas.
However, three areas originally scheduled to see 49ers-Seahawks now will see Lions-Cardinals. South Bend, Indiana, Duluth, Minnesota and Fargo, North Dakota had coverage shift from 49ers-Seahawks to Lions-Cardinals.
The shift in South Bend makes sense, as the Cardinals have former Notre Dame star Jeremiyah Love. The changes in Fargo and Duluth seem random.
But if you don’t live in those areas in blue, you will have find somewhere that does show it or subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket.
