The Chargers are on blackout watch for their season opener against Houston, they announced Friday, receiving a 24-hour extension from the NFL to sell about 3,500 general tickets, Michael Gehlken of UT San Diego reports. The deadline is 7:20 p.m. Saturday. San Diego has seen its share of blackouts, including four last year, but it would be highly improbable for a Monday Night Football game that ESPN is televising nationally to go unseen in its local market. The game is all but a certainty to be shown in the area. Source: The Redzone
