Cincinnati gridiron fans will be able to watch the Bengals on local television this weekend, after receiver Chad Ochocinco teamed up with a sponsor to buy enough tickets to avoid a blackout.

Under National Football League rules, a game must be sold out 72 hours in advance or it cannot be broadcast on local television.

The Bengals said Friday they had sold enough tickets to their game against the Houston Texans to keep their streak of sell-outs intact. The last 46 Cincinnati games have been shown on local television.

Economic woes have hit some teams’ ticket sales, and on Thursday more than 3,000 tickets remained.

The NFL gave the Bengals an extension and Ochocinco and sponsor Motorola bought 1,200 tickets which will be given away at the stadium.

The Bengals are 4-1 and lead the AFC North division.
