The Kansas City Chiefs may be able to avoid being blacked out in their home market on Sunday.

The NFL has given the Chiefs a 24-hour extension to sell out Sunday’s game against the Bills to avoid their first blackout in 19 years.

They now have until Friday at 12:05 p.m. local time to move all of the tickets.

Mike Florio of PFT reports that the Chiefs are likely close to selling out Arrowhead as the league won’t extend the deadline unless a sell out is likely.

Should they be successful, it would mark the 156 consecutive sold out home game.

The Jacksonville Jaguars won’t be that fortunate this weekend as their game with the Miami Dolphins will be blacked out.
