This is a tough break for New Orleans Saints fans in northwest Louisiana. Even with Drew Brees on the call this week and the division-rival Atlanta Falcons coming to town, Shreveport’s local FOX station won’t carry the Saints game on Sunday. Instead, they’re going to feature the Dallas Cowboys’ matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. You can check out the Week 12 broadcast map from 506 Sports we’ve embedded below to see if your region will have the game.
But this isn’t the first time Shreveport has gotten the Cowboys game when the Saints have been on. It’s happened nine times over the last ten years, with the Saints getting the nod on seven occasions. So while the NFL’s scheduling team does a good job avoiding conflicts, it really comes out to a near-50/50 split.

Most of Mississippi, southwest Alabama, and the Florida panhandle west of Pensacola will be tuning in. Still, it’s disappointing that the team which has worn Louisiana state patches on their uniforms before are not always shown in all of Louisiana.
