I’m pretty sure all games are always on over the air TV in their local markets regardless of streaming/cable/satellite rights. People would get really pissed and there’d be a lot of blowback if the NFL gated games behind some paid service even in their local market.

The Packer local network is (I believe) GB and Milwaukee – I do not see it in my local (La Crosse/Eau Claire) listings.  
[Packers.com](http://Packers.com) says:

> How can I watch the Packers on TV?  
> The game will be broadcast by the NFL Network and will also be simulcast on WLUK-TV in the Green Bay market and by WTMJ-TV in the Milwaukee market.

Guess I will listen on radio.

With how bad Matt Ryan has been doing for the Colts, is it time to skip down the depth chart and start Sam Ehlinger?

Watching the national anthems right now, do the first three lines of the British national anthem really end with King? (Or Queen, until recently.) It doesn’t count as rhyming if you keep using the same word!

Does that count as 2 fumbles on that punt return?

Love the officials not calling holding but calling pass interference for ticky-tack

I’m confused by the fans. It’s clearly mostly Packers fans, but when the Giants line up, instead of screaming at the top of their lungs to make noise so the Giants can’t hear, they keep doing a sustained boo. Booing isn’t loud, though. I find it very jarring.

I’m torn here because I started Rodgers in fantasy. If Jones were an actual real quarterback I’d be rooting for a shootout that the Giants win, but he can barely complete a pass much less throw a touchdown. I was wholly unsurprised to learn that Jones has not yet thrown for 200 yards in a game this season.

So I guess I’m rooting for something like 22-21 Giants win (I also started Gano so I need lots of field goals), with Rodgers throwing all three touchdowns? I don’t see any other way this goes well for me. (Normally the Giants’ only chance here would be sacks interceptions, but I need Rodgers to get points.)

ETA: So far so good, but you only get one more touchdown, Packers!

From Field Goal range to punt.

Very dire, hopefully minor.

Big TD, now let’s see what happens.

Jones now has 217 yards passing. Rodgers has 178.

Giants with the lead with six minutes to play.

Holy fucking shit!

Still a minute to go and Packers have two timeouts… (I’m a few minutes behind.)

Seeing that ball tipped up and hitting the ground was beautiful.
