The Chargers got a blackout extension on Monday, and now they’ve sold enough tickets Tuesday for the blackout to be lifted and Thursday’s game against the 49ers to be televised in San Diego.
The game will be shown on NFL Network and on the FOX affiliate in San Diego.
Technically, the game isn’t a sellout, with a limited number of seats, including some club seats, still available. But the Chargers have sold enough tickets to get a home game on local TV for the third straight week.
Although the Chargers are 7-6 and the 49ers are 5-8, Thursday night’s game is actually a big one, with playoff implications for both teams. San Diego and San Francisco are each just one game out of first place in their respective divisions.
