NFL Week 1 Ratings Decline Is A Myth

Roger Goodell and the NFL couldn't have asked for better results for Week 1...both on and off the field. The NFL delivered both on the field...and in terms of television ratings. Monday Night Football drew its largest audience since 2013...and Thursday Night Football hit a six-year high.

However...some media sites and YouTube channels are claiming NFL ratings are in decline. We reveal the two timeslots NFL ratings declined...but show where the league gained in every other timeslot.

We not only compare NFL ratings to 2020...we also compare the ratings to 2019...and reveal whether the league saw an increase.
