Eagles-Jets: Start time, how to watch and stream
Many Eagles fans in Pa. won’t be able to watch today’s game
The Eagles will face off at home Sunday afternoon against the lowly New York Jets, who once again will be without young quarterback Sam Darnold. Unfortunately, many Birds fans in Pennsylvania won’t be able to watch the game at home on TV.
Normally, Eagles games are broadcast on Fox, but Sunday’s game will appear on CBS because it involves an AFC team visiting an NFC team. CBS broadcasters Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon will call the game, with Jay Feely reporting from the sideline.
The NFL requires WHP 21, the local CBS affiliate based in Harrisburg, to air Baltimore Ravens games when the Ravens are either on the road or sold out at home. The Ravens take on the Steelers in Pittsburgh on Sunday, meaning Eagles fans won’t be able to watch a game that’s being broadcast to most of the country.
Eagles games often air throughout central Pennsylvania on Fox 43, but since the game airs on CBS, the network’s hands are tied.
“Comcast Marietta and Blue Ridge Cable 11, which serve parts of Lancaster County, carry KYW CBS Channel 3, which will carry the Eagles game, in addition to WHP," Fox 43 said.
While Eagles fans in central Pennsylvania will be shut out from the game, viewers in North Dakota and parts of Montana and northern Minnesota will be able to tune in, thanks to the local star power of quarterback Carson Wentz, the pride of North Dakota State (and the top-rated quarterback in the league, according to Pro Football Focus).
