Actually, the game was supposed to be on 1 PM on CBS. But when it got flexed to 4:15 along with OAK/SD and NYG/TEN, CBS got OAK/SD, and Fox got NYG/TEN and CHI/NE.

EDIT: Actually, I think CBS already had OAK/SD as their singleheader game, but at 4:00 instead. Remember that FOX and CBS switch off every week, and this week was FOX's for a doubleheader.

go to NFL.com http://www.nfl.com/

Click scores, then under Pats/ Bears click the link for live game stats (i think its stats) but one of the links under Pats/ Bears will give you play by play (text) with a team helmut graph showing drives. It was the only way for me to keep updated on the Chiefs Broncos game last thursday after work.

The Raider game cannot be on Fox. Fox can't show a regular season game between 2 AFC teams. Turn on Fox at 4:15 and you should be pleasantly surprised.

Good news the game is on here in Charlotte. The newspaper ONLY showed the Raiders on CBS at 4pm.
I just checked the online TV guide for here and there are 2 games on @ 4pm
Pats on FOX @ 4pm
HOORAY...thanks

For all you people who aren't getting the Pats game @ 4:00...Write a nasty letter (or email) to your local Fox affiliate. They really do listen. They're all about ratings so the more people who complain, the next time a marquee game comes up you won't be stuck with a crappy Raiders game. It won't help you this week but it will in the future.

FOX always had this game. Visiting team ALWAYS determines which of CBS or FOX gets a game. The reason is that all games are televised and if the home team is not sold on they could be blacked out, and the game might not be carried anywhere. It's been this way forever.

In this particular case you are mostly wrong. This is the FOX national game, the only people not getting it are the home teams of the other FOX 4PM game (NYG and TEN). That only exeception is Philadelphia and eastern PA, but my guess is that the ratings might be higher in PHilly for the Giants because they are perennial rivals.
