Watch local NFL football live with a digital HDTV antenna

If you're cutting the cord to your cable company, you're not alone; in fact, you are in luck. You can still watch the NFL on TV with an affordable indoor antenna, which pulls in local over-the-air HDYC channels such as CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, PBS, Univision and more. Here's the kicker: There's no monthly charge.

Anyone living in partially blocked-off area (those near mountains or first-floor apartments), a digital TV antenna may not pick up a good signal -- or any signal at all. But for many homes, a digital TV antenna provides a seriously inexpensive way to watch college football without paying a cable company. Indoor TV antennas can also provide some much-needed TV backup if a storm knocks out your cable (or your cable company gets in a squabble with a network).

This amplified indoor HDTV antenna claims to have a 250-mile range and comes with a 16.5-foot coaxial cable. It's rated 4.0 stars by Amazon reviewers. Regularly $33, it's currently on sale for $22 after coupon ahead of Black Friday.

Hello, my name is Joshua Dobbs. If you follow the Cleveland Browns, you'll recall the team's training camp backup quarterback was 28-year-old journeyman QB Joshua Dobbs. The Browns traded Dobbs to the Arizona Cardinals in August, where he served as the team's starter while franchise QB Kyler Murray rehabbed from injury. On October 31, Dobbs was traded to the Minnesota Vikings. Six days later, he was on the field after the Vikings starter left the game with a concussion. Dobbs led the Vikings to a win over the Atlanta Falcons despite having not practiced with, or learned the names of, his teammates. Dobbs became the first quarterback in NFL history with consecutive three-touchdown games for different teams and continues to start for the Vikings.

The Kelces meet the Swifts: Now that Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce have taken their very public romance international by way of Taylor's South American leg of her Eras Tour, it's time for Taylor's parents to meet Travis' parents. The meeting of the Kelces and the Swifts is said to be taking place on Monday when the Chiefs play the Philadelphia Eagles (Travis' brother Jason Kelce plays for the Eagles.) The NFL's own version of "Meet The Fockers" is just the kind of storyline the NFL loves. This rematch of Super Bowl LVII could get Super Bowl-like ratings thanks to a potential Taylor sighting and the potential in-laws, too.

Good morning, Baltimore. Many hours of NFL sports broadcasts over recent years has been dedicated to arguing the talents (or lack thereof) of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Lamar has always been a dynamic scrambler out of the pocket and this season is no different with Jackson scoring 440 rushing yards, the top for QBs in the NFL. Halfway through the 2023 NFL season, Lamar is poised to have the best season of his career. The Ravens are 7-3 coming into Week 11 and MVP chants follow Lamar (again) at every turn. But some sports pundits aren't convinced, ESPN's "First Take" host Shannon Sharpe being one of them. Sharpe, the former Denver Broncos tight end, said this week on his show he "doesn't trust" Lamar, while noting Jackson has as many turnovers this season as he does touchdowns. Ouch.
