NFL will offer delayed online broadcasts of blacked-out games

NFL fans whose local teams’ games are blacked out will be able to watch replays online for free—though not until after midnight.

The recession has left several teams in danger of having games blacked out this season. The league announced Thursday that home fans will be able to view the delayed broadcasts on NFL.com for 72 hours, except during "Monday Night Football."

"We understand that the economy is limiting some families and corporations from buying as many game tickets as they had previously," commissioner Roger Goodell said in a release.

Great news, especially for us Cincinnati Bengals fans who are endanger of seeing the opener vs. the Denver Broncos on Sunday blacked out.
