Come on, it's not that big of a deal. Go to a sports bar or to friend's house for the game.
I have directv now, but there have been plenty of times over the years when I could not see all of the the games. Heck, my town didn't have cable tv until 1993. The local channels here in NC showed all of the Commander games. Usually I missed at least three Dallas games in a good season. Often more. I think I only saw eight games in 1989. Most of time, I had to watch other games and hope Dallas would be on the infrequent "game breaks" that always showed other teams.
Sometimes, not always, I could faintly pick up a station that carried Dallas games. 1310 AM from Norfolk VA. It only came in on the car radio. So I pulled the car up close to the porch, sat out there and listened. During the 1990 season, I was listening to the Dallas-Tampa game when the local candidate for sheriff came by for a politicking visit. He rambled on for an hour about all the great things he would do while I tried to listen to the game. Dallas won and the candidate went on to lose the election.
Since the game is on NFL network, I think there will be more than the normal amount of fans who can't see the Cowboys this week.
