The networks usually have a "national" game that they will broadcast, unless your home team is playing, in which case you will see that game. For example, if the Cowboys were playing the Eagles and that is national game, you will see that one if your local team is not playing at that time (or is on a different network then). If you lived in Chicago, and the Bears were playing the Bucs at the same time, you would see that game instead. But, if the Bears/Bucs were playing Monday night, you get the national game.

It means that only a particular geographic area will be able to watch games from the region's football teams. If you look on the tv schedule for such games, you will often see several different broadcasts for that time period. It tells which game each region will be able to watch.

It's horrible if you live in Los Angeles. Second largest market in the country and we can't have our own football team. We are constantly saddled with San Diego and Raiders games.

It means that only a local tv affiliate will air the game. People in Cleveland can watch a Browns home game, but people in Pittsburgh can't.

It means your local TV stations will carry the games of teams that are closest to you.
