There will be no blackouts this week. As the NFL Playoffs begin three games faced blackout restrictions but as of Friday afternoon each game had become a sellout thus avoiding NFL blackout restrictions.<\/p>\n
The last team to sell out was the Cincinnati Bengals.<\/p>\n
Kroger and P&G bought the last of the Bengals tickets and have chosen to donate them to military personnel.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn behalf of the entire Bengals organization, I want to thank Procter & Gamble and Kroger for their great leadership, helping the team and Cincinnati region get the game sold out and on television for everyone,” said Katie Blackburn, Bengals executive vice president.<\/p>\n
“This is an exciting time to be a Bengals fan,” said Sukankya Madlinger, president of Kroger\u2019s Cincinnati\/Dayton Division, in a press release. \u201cAnd, Kroger is a huge supporter of the brave men and women who protect and defend our country. Giving them the opportunity to watch the \u2018undefeated at home\u2019 Bengals in action is a great way for us to say \u2018thank you\u2019 for your brave service.”<\/p>\n
