TV coverage map shows Chiefs-Saints game essentially will be a national broadcast

The Chiefs-Saints game Sunday in New Orleans has been called a potential Super Bowl preview.

If the Chiefs do end up facing the Saints in Super Bowl LV, then most of Arizona will have a chance to see these teams duke it out. But this Sunday, a wide swath of The Grand Canyon State will be missing out.

Other than most of Arizona, the entire nation will have an opportunity to see the Chiefs-Saints game. Here is the TV coverage map, courtesy of 506Sports.com, and it shows people in all 50 states will see the game:
