Bengals announce sellout for Vikings game

The Bengals announced Friday afternoon their home game against the Minnesota Vikings will be broadcast locally after ticket sales reached the league's threshold to avoid a blackout.

Some tickets still remained as of Friday afternoon at all three levels of Paul Brown Stadium for the 1 p.m. kickoff.

FOX affiliates able to show the game as a result of the sellout are WXIX-TV (Channel 19) in Cincinnati, WRGT-TV (45) in Dayton and WDKY-TV (56) in Lexington, Ky.
