The Sunday Night Football clash between the Rams and the Cowboys was supposed to halt the ratings crash the NFL has experienced so far in the 2020 season.
Instead, it was a complete disaster -- nearly equaling the devastating ratings crash the NBA playoffs suffered after embracing the Marxist BLM movement.
According to DEADLINE Hollywood, ratings for NBC’s only weekly NFL game, were down a shocking 28%.
Putting on the two teams with big national followings, SNF snared a 4.7 in early ratings among adults 18-49 and 14.81 million viewers last night.
In numbers certain to change, that’s a fall of 28% in the ratings and a hard decline of 23% in sets of eyeballs from what the September 8, 2019 official start of SNF snagged in the early numbers of its opening game of last season. While the early Nielsen data lacks West Coast numbers, which is kind of important when you have a team from the mega-market of LA playing, this result is going to be hard pill for the NFL and NBC to swallow.
These results are disastrous for the NFL. Not just because the numbers themselves are bad, but because of the teams that played on Sunday Night Football. The Dallas Cowboys have possibly the largest national fan following in the country, and the Los Angeles Rams play in the second largest media market in the country.
In addition, both teams have star talent and are very competitive with playoff aspirations for this season. And L.A. was premiering a new, super high-tech stadium. By all measures, the game should have performed extremely well in the ratings.

I believe you cited an article referencing the 2019 season .
I am heart broken over the rating decline.../ S
Fuck the NFL...
Also, don’t forget that, with the Cowboys, it’s SOS- the Same Old Siht. Making stupid mistakes, getting penalties at the worst times, players whose bodies are looking for an excuse to get injured, and now the Cowboy players are going full girl-beating cop-killing Anti-American BLM, along with their nutless owner.
Exactly, nothing to watch for sports and then a 28% drop on opening weekend! NFL has a major issue! Seven months no football (off season) and then the new seasons starts. WOW 28% drop in viewership!
Here's hoping they decline to participate in #AthleticsWokening and cream the NFL on Sunday.
One can hope.
As someone posted, “I love football, but I love my country more.”
I say, “Good on you. That’s how I feel also.”
I wish more fans would get a spine and tune off.
I know it isn't the Austrian National Anthem, but "Lift Every Voice and Sing" isn' the black national anthem either.
Hope they rot in hell with the rats, KEEP UP THE BOYCOTT
I’m sitting here in south central Pennsyltucky, surrounded by the Eagles, the Ravens and the Steelers. I haven’t watched one second of NFL this season. And everything those twisted NFL bahstids do to get attention drives me farther away. El Rushbo reported that in a recent game, BOTH teams except the kicker knelt DURING the kickoff. I don’t dare describe what insanity I’d imagine some team might try next. They’d probably take it as a challenge!
Forget NASCAR. They get a couple dozen white people to support a crazy black driver who thinks a standard garage door pull down rope is a super tiny lynching device for his privates.
They are all crazy.
FU NFL. GTFO and move to Red China.
In addition, both teams have star talent and are very competitive with playoff Burn Loot Murder chant aspirations for this season; their Antifa and RCPUSA slogans and calls for direct action will enchant viewers.
To paraphrase the hockey joke, they held a BLM demonstration and a football game broke out.
It couldn’t have happened to a more leftist rear end kissing bunch of hypocrites as the NFL bosses.
Well deserved.
Hoooray.
They’ve got a captive audience stuck at home and they’ve blown it all to ...
Thank you.
I’ve been as big a sports fan as there is my whole life. No more.
I hope their embrace of the radically racist BLM group bankrupts them and they disappear forever.
I washed the Cars in the L.A. smoke yesterday, watered, Read a whole bunch and didn’t watch any Sports, much less the NFL. There are just so many other things that actually matter in my life, that I’m done w/ the B.S. that is Sports in America, they don’t need my direct $$$ and won’t be getting it anymore. Too bad I won’t be spending ANY $$$ seeing that new 5 Billion Dollar stadium either, too bad for THEM! LOL!
This explains why I got an email from Youtube today trying to get me to watch the NFL.
They’ve never done that before.
