Chargers avoid having game against Ravens blacked out

The San Diego Chargers have sold enough tickets to lift the local television blackout of their home opener Sunday against the Ravens. The Chargers were in danger of their first regular-season blackout since 2004. Both of their exhibition openers were blacked out, and the team has warned fans that there could be regular-season blackouts. The team said 4,000 tickets remain for their game against the Miami Dolphins a week from Sunday. The team received a 24-hour extension from the NFL because it still had 1,100 tickets unsold on Thursday.
