Did you ever check your local FOX station? I'm in Anchorage and they were saying during their broadcast of the preseason games that they were airing them statewide. If they did buy the rights statewide, then that would be why the NFL Network didn't air the game for you. It was blacked out on NFLN here as well, but it was being aired on the FOX station. The NFL Network won't air games in the same market that the local stations are airing the games so as to allow those local stations to drive the revenue for the games they are paying for.
As for the All Access and The Coaches Press Conference shows. That's a new rule that just started this year. I am STILL fuming about it. It makes absolutely zero sense to not allow people who purchase these stations to watch the games. There's no revenue streams being blocked by us watching it there. It's ludicrous. I mean, there are a lot of areas of Washington that are blacked out as well. Only the Seattle and the Portland markets are allowed this particular programming. It's ludicrous
