Opening game last year was 22.1 million. They are claiming it was down because LeBron James was playing. I've been saying the jock sniffers won't give up their sports regardless of what's happening.

It’s embarrassing for the nfl that the first major football game after covid lockdowns brought in many less viewers than last year


Take your L, NFLers

James playing in a western semi which isn’t a deciding game likely doesn’t explain a 1.4m viewer difference.

Would've thought the numbers would be worse than a 20% drop personally

I'm amazed at how many folks actually care about ratings. Watch it or don't, but if you choose not watch it I don't understand the obsession with constantly posting about it

Not calling you out specifically SEC7070 just an observation about posters on TD

IMO NFL went light on the woke stuff and were rewarded for it (relatively)

If you were really interested in the NFL fandom and ratings, compare NFL Redzone to last year's numbers.

This may be a stupid question, but how are the ratings weighed when it comes to TVs that are turned off while "tuned in" to the channel?

It's like when I travel and notice my hotel TV is set to CNN by default when I power cycle.

Drives me nuts.

Overnight ratings for nationally televised sports. NFL opening night:

2020 - 17.4
(NFL + NBA + US Open + NHL)

2019 - 16.9
(NFL + US Open)

That's not good at all, like I said earlier, even break even is not good. NFL had every reason with everyone stuck at home, bars and restaurants closed, 1/4 stadium, and fans starved for football to have a BIG ratings night. The NFL isn't losing much to the NHL at all, and NBA is dropping as it is, they didn't lose much to that. Should have been a big night for the NFL.

20.7 is still a great number. I suspect the numbers will go up from week to week.

I'd be willing to bet 75% of those viewers have no idea how many yards make up a field.

If you watched any of the game last night, you are a traitor to this country and you should give up your citizenship and leave.
