NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell shrugged off declining television ratings, saying the league’s games resulted in some of the highest-rated shows in 2017.
"We always want ratings to go up, but we're 37 of the top 50 shows, which is higher than ever," Goodell told a small group of reporters shortly before the Jacksonville Jaguars' playoff game versus the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, according to ESPN.
"We're likely to be the No. 1 show on Fox—excuse me on all of television, the Fox Sunday afternoon game. Sunday night, prime time is for the seventh year in a row the No. 1 show. Thursday night football is No. 2.”
Television viewership declined nearly 10% across all networks during the 2016-2017 regular season, according to data from Nielsen, while an average NFL game was watched by 1.6 million fewer people in 2017 versus the prior year— an overall decline from 16.5 million to 14.9 million, according to ESPN. Ratings saw a similar decline last season, falling 8%, the sports network reported. Still, 20 of the 30 top-rated shows on television last year were NFL games, according to Nielsen data.

He got a big fat undeserved contract. What has he got to be worried about?
If I had his money and salary, I wouldn’t be worried about much.
Of course he’s not worried he makes a fortune. Liberals destroy organizations so long as they feather their own nests.
They are completely gone in my house. I dont know a single person that gives a crap about those anti American “sons of bitches” they are below despicable humans and they can and will truly go to hell.
He may have a big contract, but he will be recorded in history as the person who let the MFL die.
In before the freepers who spent the weekend watching football and want to tell us about the great games we missed this weekend.
Patriots bye-week.
Could not care less.
Well, he will be when season ticket and stadium suite renewals come up in a few months.
One suspects that the TV networks may not feel quite so sanguine about their declining viewership.
Exactly.
I am now ignoring those that discuss the ‘latest’ football activities. If they persist, I shun them completely.
I couldn’t care less, period.
FNFL is not a concern in this home.
“Not worried” is the new “scared shitless”.
That’s how you know an organization has been corrupted by leftism: “Ignore the trend lines. Just look at a snapshot of where we currently are at this precise moment.”
If they aren’t showing them kneeling anymore, then it ain’t happenin. All is well!!........according to the NFL.
“In before the freepers who spent the weekend watching football and want to tell us about the great games we missed this weekend.”
Exactly. Amazing how many freepers are addicted and incapable of giving up the opiate, even as the thugs continue spitting in their faces.
Concussions? Anybody ever heard that one or is that one made up by the PC police?
“What, me worry?”
