For only the third time this season, the Green Bay Packers will kick off in the early time slot this weekend for their week 9 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The 1:00 PM Eastern kickoff means that the Packers will be stacked up against a number of other games on FOX, which will make seeing the game on local TV more challenging than usual for fans outside of the Packers’ home broadcast area.
In fact, this week’s game gets the smallest viewing area by square miles of any Packers game this season, in part because FOX has only a single game this weekend.
