The rule is that if your area's team is at home, you get only two games, one on each channel. If on the road, then you get three--two on that week's double-header network. If your team is at home and doesn't sell out, then you still get only two games, but something other than your team's game.
The real curiousity to me is why if the game is on ESPN, which everyone who wants gets, they also put the game on a local station, preempting the usually strong sunday-night progamming. Thanks--the Redskins suck worse than even CBS's sunday night fare.

I got spoiled growing up in metro NY. 4 games every Sunday. One of them the Giants. Ahhh, Sunday afternoon football bliss.
My other pet peeve is when the Pats have the early game we rarely get a 4pm game. Instead we get the Patriots 5th Quarter show, which is an ad nauseum regurgitation of the game highlights that never seems to end.
