Per Forbes:
To sum up, CBS, Sunday Night Football, and Thursday Night Kickoff all hit 7yr lows. And ESPN MNF fell by a huge margin, especially the late game. Only FOX did better than the previous yr, thanks to the Cowboys vs Giants.
Red Zone Channel was also down 18%.

Last week’s Thursday night (Sept. 8) NFL opener and Super Bowl rematch between the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers drew in 25.2 million. However, that total marks an 8% ratings decline compared to 2015 and a 6% drop from 2014.
On Sunday afternoon, CBS scored a 10.2 overnight rating for its NFL offerings, a 13% drop from FOX’s numbers (11.7) last year and a 9% drop from 2014 on CBS (11.2). This also marked the lowest overnight season-opening rating in seven years
The Steelers vs. Redskins game scored a 9.1 in Nielsen's NLSN +1.25% metered market ratings while the 49ers vs. Rams posted a 7.1, according to Deadline. The early game was down 7% from 2015's MNF opener WHILE GAME 2 FELL A WHOPPING 25% with San Francisco viewers actually outnumbering L.A. That’s not the start the league was hoping to have in the country’s second-largest media market.

Had to plateau at some point.
Stuff like Goodell being a moron and the Kaepernick deal don't help either.

Because they continue to have garbage arse games. Philly vs Chicago this week?? Two big markets but nobody outside of those areas cares about that game. Same thing with Rams vs 49ers.

Was it streamed?

25.2 million is considered a disappointment?
Also some non exciting match ups. No one was gonna watch Keenum vs Gabbert or Jimmy G vs cardinals

Streaming services + NFL Redzone Channel + NFL Fantasy Zone Channel
No need to sit and watch a game when you can have real time highlights from them all. The Redzone Channel is the fricking tits.

All of the fantasy leagues, survivors pools, and pick em contests don't necessarily have to correlate with increase viewership. Many of those people playing don't care about watching the game as much as they care about the stats or results.

The product isn't as good as it use to be.

Why would anyone combine the percentages to evaluate them?

Trash league with trash fans supporting it

No Fun League is shite to watch on TV compared to college football and the craziness the shitty refs set up

I love college football and not into the nfl like I was as a kid. I will watch the 49ers, saints, and most nfc games. I hate watching afc games because they are mostly boring games.

More people are tuning into the NFL every year, viewers are just finding different ways of watching.

Cord cutters have figured out multiple options

I don't want to watch every team throw it 55 times a fricking game

I'm blaming all this on their Commercials-Kickoff-Commercials model

NFL is popular because of fantasy football. Most don't even watch the games, they're too worried about players from each team helping them win. Just watch redzone or keep track on twitter, ESPN.com, etc to see scores and stats.
I can't even get into this game that's playing right now. But the Houston vs Cincy game is interesting, loud, seems better. Guess I'm hoping for the upset.
Don't think any NFL games this week can compare to the BIG college games this weekend.
