How so? I figured a decrease would be expected, considering the teams involved.

Cowboys will always be number 1. But seeing Carolina slide into the top 10 seems interesting

Real QBs kneel during the fourth quarter, not before the game

Just like the packers will always be up there too.

My point was where are the redskins or raiders on that list? Big markets don't count if people don't care.

LA can't fill either team's games and they have 13 million people in the metro area.

Bingo, just like I said in my previous post. Look at Miami, Atlanta and San Diego in baseball. Big markets, but small market teams.

My point is I bet the raiders and skins were both easily in the top 10 last year. They were huge teams that both made the playoffs. So early this year, they are still both big ratings draws as well.

They missed the playoffs last year. Made the playoffs and lost the WC in 2015, fwiw.

It's a bigger story than being down 17% from the Cowboys/Giants. That is pretty much a given. Being down 8% from GB/Atlanta is a bit more surprising, IMO.

Those are not big markets.......

ATL is the 15/30 biggest market in mlb
Miami is 16/30
San Diego is 22/30

I respectfully disagree. I don't think it's surprising at all. GB/Atl is a more compelling matchup.

I think part of the issue with SNF getting lower ratings and MNF getting awful ratings is the football consumer is oversaturated.

You get now a choice of up to 2 games Thursday, 2 on Friday, up to 6 on Saturday, 3 on Sunday. Most, except the hard core football junkie or degenerate/fantasy player is just footballed out and not interested, unless it is their team playing.

The Oakland playoff game last year was the worst viewed of the wild card weekend.

Washington's opening game vs the Steelers was the 2nd worst of the weekend

Still can't find any by team breakdown for last year on the whole.

well I guess in the literal sense, yes the ratings were down following his comments but there's really not enough data to say there's any relation between the two.

I would think it would be even honestly.

Green bay biggest national brand
but ATL worst brand
but atl being super bowl popular

West coast pull from OAK
Skins big east coast market
