Well, consider yourself fortunate I guess. Maybe it has something to do with east coast feeds versus west coast feeds. At least where I was the game got switched back several minutes later; others elsewhere were not quite so lucky.I saw every play of the game.
There's a difference between networks switching over and Sunday Ticket switching over. I suspect the latter was a mistake as opposed to the way it's supposed to work.Well, consider yourself fortunate I guess. Maybe it has something to do with east coast feeds versus west coast feeds.

Remember that it cuts both ways meaning you'd miss the end of Pats games too just as we did.
Are you sure the bolded part is still true ? That's how it used to be last year and before but it isn't anymore for me.I'll second that from the Chicago market. Can't get the Sunday Ticket game when its shown locally. Then, when the network shifts because of a blowout, you wait, wait, wait, and hope that the game comes on the Ticket and you haven't missed too much. I also had an experience in Florida a few years back when the Ticket completely blew the coverage and did not show the Patriots game. They said they were sorry.

Not entirely true - see comment #15.
Earlier this year when the Pats beat the Titans, the networks switched to a 'more competitive game' - the Jets game as I recall - and the switch was also made on the Sunday Ticket. Directv eventually did switch back, but the other game was on for several minutes.
Basically, if the game is on a local channel, they will not broadcast it on the Directv NFL channel at the same time. However, if they switch to another game on the local channel, simply switch to the appropriate Directv NFL channel and the game should be on. How is that for confusing??

That's not true anymore, not for me anyway. It was last year.Basically, if the game is on a local channel, they will not broadcast it on the Directv NFL channel at the same time.
I completely agree that it's not confusing at all; at least it shouldn't be to anybody that has had Sunday Ticket for more than one weekend.I watched the game on the local CBS station in Los Angeles and then when they announced that they would be switching to another game, I tuned to the Directv channel that is part of the NFL package and didn't miss a snap.

The "contractually obligated" part is right.
Here are the rules, since CBS had the double header, the late game SD/NYG game was dubbed the National game of the week by CBS. The only markets that got to stay to the end of the Pats/MIA game were NE and MIA. That's usually how it goes.
Odd... it stayed on Pats/MIA here in Minny until the very end. Same during the Pats/Titans blowout as well that others reported got switched to the Jets/Bills game at some point..
