BOSTON (CBS) — Remember all that talk of the NFL losing viewership?

Not only was CBS’ broadcast of Sunday’s AFC Championship Game between the Patriots and Jaguars the most-watched game of the season, it was the highest-rated program on television since New England’s epic comeback against the Atlanta Falcons in last year’s Super Bowl

[edzo4]

These are the top six TV markets in the USA:
New York (#1)
Los Angeles (#2)
Chicago (#3)
Philadelphia (#4)
Dallas-Fort Worth (#5)
San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose (#6)

This is the record of the teams in those areas:
new York Jets 5-11
New York Giants 3-13
Los Angeles Rams 1st year in LA previously St. Louis Rams
Chicago Bears 5-11
Dallas Cowboys 9-7
Oakland Raiders 6-10 and moving to Las Vegas next year
Philly Eagles 13-3
San Francisco 49’s 6-10(they were 0-10 till Brady’s backup)

Overall TV ratings were down cause the teams in the biggest TV markets sucked, and I won’t even bring into the discussion how cord cutters have driven the ENTIRE TV viewership down.

what would you call a bunch of people that think they know what’s best for everyone and tell everyone what everyone should or shouldn’t do based on their belief’s?

and take every opportunity to remind you?

Looks like two games combined were still down about 10% from last year.

[Ad revenue has not grown]

The NFL must not be concerned with ADS. They just turned down a patriot one sponsored by a VETERANS GROUP. Not over yet...

A BLM propagandist operating on Free Republic.

[EQAndyBuzz]

It’s as if the Democrat congress took a knee and no one noticed because they were watching football.

Oh the irony.

[edzo4]

thank you for reminding me the anti NFL d bags are only half as entertaining as the patriots haters,

but tell me how the same NFL that has accused the patriots of cheating, investigated them for over inflated balls, took away draft picks and suspended Brady four 4 games, that’s the same NFL that has the refs help them cheat right?

[mewzilla]

I saw that.

I have 2 words for the NFL: Keep digging.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’m not surprised it took Patriots to bring the fans back to the NFL for the playoffs.

[Flycatcher]

so boycott me, loser

Boycott you? Why? Are you important? (Other than in your own mind, of course.)

Speaking of excuses...

[edzo4]

so boycott free republic pretend I took a knee and free republic didn’t stop me

it’s no more ridiculous than you not watching football cause some anti american liberal idiot like kapernick hates the USA

[Moonman62]

If you watch the Patriots you might like still the USA - but you haven’t yet realized they are Hulk Hogan: the eternally victorious face of a carefully stage-managed commercial product. Their upcoming 35-30 Super Bowl win featuring another late 4th quarter drive by Tom Brady will complete this season’s script nicely.

...

It’s all staged. That must be why Goodell unfairly went after Brady a couple of years ago.

[Hyman Roth]

If you watch the nfl, you hate the USA.

Really?

[Smittie]

...what would you call a bunch of people that think they know what’s best for everyone and tell everyone what everyone should or shouldn’t do based on their belief’s?

and take every opportunity to remind you?>

Since you keep posting on this topic, I would say that you would call that bunch of people...you.

[Flycatcher]

Did you really just compare yourself to the NFL?

I don't think there's a hat large enough to contain your head.

Me, too. College football ball was a blast this past season, but of course I have my UW Badgers to thank for that! ;)
