I live in Houston, and we don't get all of the Dallas Cowboys games on TV. Does anybody know the NFL rule that prohibits some of the Cowboy games not being shown?

I've heard before that there is actually some sort of rule about it.

The channel that normally runs it may want to run another game. There is no rule.

I'll trade with you, My local station, (Shreveport) is gonna show the cowboys instead of the saints, The NFL rule is that stations outside of the local (Like Dallas) markets is that the station gets to pick the game it wants to show.. I'm guessing that the station is more than likey gonna show the Saints, that it up to the station, We have the same problem up here, FOX Shreveport calles the Cowboys thier home team, The NFL should let another station show the game for people like us......
Also, the Texans are an AFC team, CBS owns the rights to them, while the Cowboys are an NFC team, which FOX Owns the rights to....

I live in Sacramento, Ca and I get all the cowboy games. Get Direct TV.
The NFL put a limit on how many time a team can be televised national. This was done to try get back at Jerry Jone when he sued the NFL. They though this would hurt him as the cowboy were the number 1 team for TV markets.

If I was a Dallas fan I too would love to see the Cowboys win very big over my comedy team episode I watch every Sunday. Lions have to be the overall worst team in football over last 6 or 7 years.

cause your local team is the Texans,,, they want you to be Texan fans, so they arent going to show Dallas unless its a nationally televised game..meaning Monday night, sunday night saturday.
