However, it all still was not a good result for CBS and the NFL as the match-up went late and delivered 9.9/18 in metered market ratings. That’s down 13% from the 2016 TNF opener on CBS and NFL Network when the New York Jets beat the Buffalo Bills


Damn son. Packers and Bears getting crushed by the bills and jets

Most of America turned it off and went to bed during the delay. Nothing to see here.

Has this board always been so obsessed with tv ratings or is this a new thing

Game was a blowout, with a weather delay.

Weather delay couldn't have helped, but did the weather cause a 13% drop?

I have a questions about rating and football. An average football game runs 3 hours. How long does someone have to view a game for their household to be included in that number?

Does this take into account how many streamed it on Amazon or people that watched it on NFL Network?

I watched it on Amazon. I know its the first year that they have rights to show all Thursday night games.

CBS and NFL Network combined for a 9.9 overnight rating. That makes the game the most-watched TV program in America last night, and it’s an increase over the 8.6 rating that CBS and NFL Network got from last year’s Bears-Packers Thursday night game, which was in Week Seven.

It’s also a big increase over the 4.8 rating that last year’s Thursday night Week Four game received, although that game was only on NFL Network, not on CBS.

That game was a wrap after the 100th fumble.

While ratings this year overall are actually up a tiny bit over last year right now, the 2016-2017 NFL season saw a nearly 10% decline from the year before. That’s a big hit for the big-money league, and the sting is being felt again with the likes of heavyweight Sunday Night Football hurting this year. Then, there is the increased political spotlight in the usually conservative NFL after President Donald Trump called for a boycott of the league and berated players for following now ex-San Francisco 49er Colin Kaepernick publicly protesting police brutality and racial injustice by not standing for the national anthem. Last night’s linking of arms by both teams was an attempt to deflect some of that attention.


Ratings are up YTD over last year

I think they'll end the year down, but so far, so good for the NFL.

I got bored with the lightning delay and played PS4 instead.

Crappy game, weather delay, and a decent-sized group of people are unhappy with the NFL. All contributed and it would be foolish to dismiss any of them.
