There are all kinds of combinations, but most don''t work. For games recorded in your original local area you get a message that you can't watch the recording. You really need the NFL Ticket/app to get all the games. It seems like MNF and sunday night football is handled different also. I don't remember all the error messages and combinations. You an usually watch the games a day later though. I assume it's to prevent bars from playing the out of region games or blacked out games.
