JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jaguars home opener against the Chiefs went dark on television.

The game on CBS was switched to the Titans-Browns game with just over five minutes to play, a no-no in local markets. CBS said on air originally that the game was switched to a more competitive game, but later came back and said it was due to technical difficulties.
