They’ve been handling things differently in Los Angeles this season than they normally do in New York and San Francisco, scheduling the Rams and Chargers to both be on the non-doubleheader network four times — this coming Sunday is the fourth — and in each of those weeks, also allowing two games to appear on the doubleheader network. In New York and San Francisco, they schedule the teams to play at different times on different networks (when they both have Sunday day games), so those markets get three games at most, two involving the local teams. The speculation is that the NFL wanted to continue to get the TV ratings that come with being able to air the “best” games of the week in Los Angeles, rather than causing the fans to always be “stuck” with the Rams and Chargers. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
