The NFL gave the Vikings a deadline of 3:30 p.m. today to sell their remaining 8,000 tickets for Sunday’s playoff game against Philadelphia, but a ruling by the league in a different market might indicate the Vikings could get more time to avoid a TV blackout. The NFL on Thursday granted Arizona a second 24-hour extension to sell its remaining tickets for their Saturday playoff game against Atlanta. That appears to be good news for the Vikings but Steve LaCroix, vice president of sales and marketing, said the Vikings can’t assume they also will be granted another extension.
