Most of those are within margin of error with cord cutters factored in.

Packers-Cowboys are the reason Saints-Vikings is down so much, team factor.

Everyone always mentions cord cutting but how does that impact games on broadcast television? I understand ESPN losing ratings but most cord cutters I'm aware of buy antennas for their local channels.

The other thing that strikes me as odd is that the NFL was immune to cord cutting for years but has lost a significant portion of their audience over the last two years. Why is cord cutting just now catching up to the NFL?

What are you talking about, a 23% down is within the margin of error because of cord cutters. Not to mention that the game was on network TV.

This is getting beyond embarrassing, into the downright 'stupid' level of mentality. Cord cutters ae not affecting the ratings of broadcast TV. Broadcast TV is free, as it always was, before and after cable came into existence

The first thing they tell you to do when you cut the cord, is to buy an HD antenna. So that you can watch the free stuff. Like every NFL game (except Monday Night football)
