No local TV for Lions-Rams

Allen Park -- The Lions' game against the St. Louis Rams at Ford Field on Sunday won't be televised locally.

The team failed to reach a sellout prior to the NFL's deadline of Thursday at 1 p.m., meaning the game will be blacked out on local television. The Lions had more than 10,000 tickets remaining Wednesday.

It's the second blackout in four home games for the Lions this season. The Sept. 27 win over Washington also wasn't televised.
