I didn't watch the first two games of the series... well at least in real live time. I did have both games on the following day replay. Then I found a way to watch the games live on my TV antenna. The first night the antenna did not work. I got nothing. No Fox channel showed up and that would be channel 29 in Buffalo. I finally did get it to work on Monday night for the third game of the series but that game is another story.

It turns out I couldn't get to see the Bills game on Sunday because it was on a Fox network streaming service only. Maybe next time I will be able to get it to work on our antenna but who knows.
