ALLEN PARK —  For the fourth time this season the Lions have sold out a home game, preventing a local television blackout. Sunday’s game between the Lions and Chicago Bears will air  at 1 p.m. on FOX.

It wasn’t a surprise since the Lions announced on Wednesday they only had 1,000 tickets remaining. A few hundred tickets returned by the Bears from their ticket allotment are now available for purchase.

The Lions only two wins this season — against Washington and Cleveland — were blacked out. The Dec. 20 home game against Arizona featured the smallest home crowd of the season.
