NEW YORK (AP) - The NFL has announced that Saturday night's
Patriots-Giants game will be simulcast on both NBC and CBS as well
as on NFL Network.
Originally, the game was scheduled to be shown only on NFL
Network, which is available to fewer than 40 percent of the
nation's homes with TVs.
Only the Giants stand in the way of the Patriots becoming the
first NFL team to go 16-and-0 in the regular season.
The simulcast of the NFL Network feed is a major concession by
league officials, who repeatedly said they would not show the game
anywhere but on their network. But the NFL has faced mounting
pressure from politicians in recent weeks to make the game
available to more viewers.
This will be the first three-network simulcast in NFL history
and the first simulcast of any kind of an NFL game since the first
Super Bowl in 1967, when CBS and NBC televised the meeting of the
champions of the newly merged National Football League and
American Football League.
