Ravens game could cause Redskins fans problems

Sunday’s Redskins – Browns game set for a 4:15pm kick off on WUSA9 and WJZ13 could be delayed. The reason is because the Ravens-Dolphins broadcast also seen on the local CBS outlets starts at 1pm.
The Redskins game this week is a CBS game because the Browns are an NFC team and so CBS has the rights to the game.
Should the Ravens-Dolphins game go over then Redskins Nation would miss the kick off of their broadcast.
The Beltway blogs are going crazy and Redskins fans are hoping for a quick Ravens win or in some cases a loss.
The NFL rules prohibit a local market game from being preempted and so channel’s 9 and 13 must show the Baltimore game till the end.
Just so Redskins fans aren’t too upset. Thus far this season only about 12% of the games the games starting at 1pm have gone past the 4:15pm second game starting time.
Either way it should be a boost for both Redskins and Ravens radio.
CSN pregame is at 1pm and the Redskins Post game will follow. MASN will have Ravens Xtra right after the game.
Ravens radio 1090 WBAL and 98Rock, Redskins Radio ESPN 980AM
