Fox Boston will only get the Pats games if it is an NFC opponent.

Fox gets NFC, CBS gets AFC, and when it is NFC vs AFC it is the visiting team's network that gets the broadcast (because of potential blackouts - the visitor's home market can never be blacked out so that network produces the broadcast).

At least that is the way the rules used to work, unless any of the recent labour agreements changed anything.
