NFL fans, at least in the New York area, panicked this afternoon with the failure of CBS over several cable services.

Just as the network was about to start broadcasting Browns Chiefs, the screens went blank. The blackout wasn’t limited to just one service provider.

Of course the fans are angry, but there are also many NFL media members in and around New York.

They wonder how this is about one of the biggest Days of the year could happen for the network.

How many cable systems is CBS not working on? I have @verizonfios and it’s dark here too

For those who lost CBS, the Spectrum app works there and the Yahoo Sports app works there too if you don’t have wifi

Sports media reporter Andrew Marchand of the New York Post is on the case, saying he reached out to CBS for an explanation of the problem.

Meanwhile, anyone who saw Cbiefs-Browns’ first quarter plus didn’t missed Kansas City and scored touchdowns on his first two drives to take a 13-3 lead early in the second quarter.
