What are out-of-market NFL games?

NFL Sunday Ticket is designed to let you watch out-of-market games, which are games not shown in your area. Multiple games happen at the same time on Sunday, but only a couple are shown on TV in a given region. These games are typically based on the closest team.

Is there an NFL app for LG Smart TVs?

No, the NFL app is not available on LG Smart TVs. However, you cannot watch NFL Sunday Ticket through the NFL app, but you can stream NFL Network and NFL Redzone on the app by signing in with your cable or satellite provider.
