Trying to avoid a blackout on local televison, the San Diego Chargers were granted another 24-hour extension from the NFL to sell out their remaining 1,350 tickets.

They have until 1:05 pm. PST to complete the sale.

The two most recent games granted 48-hour extensions, the 2008 NFC Wild Card game between Philadelphia at Minnesota and the 2001 AFC Wild Card game between Baltimore at Miami, one sold out (at Minnesota) and one did not (at Miami).

The last regular-season home game blacked out in the local market was on Nov. 7, 2004 versus the New Orleans Saints, a 44-game streak.
