Bucs-Cowboys a national telecast

The Bucs-Cowboys game on Sunday will be the FOX network's primary game in the 1 p.m. time slot.

There will be some other regional matchups shown in certain parts of the country, but most fans not in close proximity to teams playing on FOX in the same time slot will see Tampa Bay at Dallas.

That means the Bucs essentially have back-to-back national games coming off last Sunday night's NBC appearance  against the Seahawks. Of course, that game was being played opposite the Red Sox-Rays ALCS Game 7 and drew a record-low national audience for a prime-time game.

UPDATE: I now understand that the game will be shown to approximately 60 percent of the country.
