Worst on-field product since I can remember and the new rules are pathetic. Just an awful product to watch right now outside a few teams.

'Sunday Night Football' Ratings Rise Despite Zombie Play, Competition From 'Walking Dead'
When all was said and done, no one expected last night’s match up between the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals on NBC’s Sunday Night Football to offer the league any hope in the ratings. Not only was the game competing against the highly anticipated return of AMC’s The Walking Dead, but the contest itself was an ugly one from the get-go.
The first half ended in a 3-0 lead for the Cardinals and the game ended in a 6-6 overtime tie. It was the NFL’s first tie without a touchdown since 1972. Yet despite the defense-centric performance and outside competition, SNF managed to score an 11.6/20 in the metered market ratings.
For context, that marks a 22% rise from last week’s game, which saw the Houston Texans win 26-23 in overtime against the Indianapolis Colts. That match up marked a five-year low in viewership for SNF.
In terms of MM ratings, last night’s game was SNF‘s best outing since the Dallas Cowboys squared off against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 25, earning a 12.9/21 score. Next week’s crucial division rival contest between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys is another primetime opportunity for NBC and the NFL to earn back some viewers.
Jaguars vs Titans this Thursday can't wait for that epic clash of NFL powerhouses!

Sick & Tide Sixers/Phillies/Cowboys fan smh
I guess just put the Boys in every prime time slot then you'll get the ratings you want :smugfish: @Roger Goodell

Yet on the very next article
NFL over saturated itself and now fans turn away by shyt football play on live TV.

You know what could help the NFL besides good matchups.
Every primetime game kickoff must start no later than 8:05 pm. There's enough pre game bullshyt just get to the game. Halftime shouldn't be close to 10pm the third quarter should already be under way.

That article said nothing about oversaturation.
The whole article was complaining about players protesting.
Putting shyt games on primetime and the national games of the week at 1pm and 4pm don't help.
