It felt like a little bit of history was being made on Monday Night Football as the Tennessee Titans finally snapped their streak of 11 consecutive losses to the Indianapolis Colts. However, as social media sparked with ESPN not showing the playing of the national anthem, another type of history was also being made: Last night’s primetime broadcast of the Titans’ 36-22 victory stumbled to a season low with a 6.1 in metered market results.
In a season stained by overall ratings declines and political controversy, that NFL Week 6 rating is down 13% from the early numbers of the much tighter October 9 matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears. That MNF season low went on to deliver a 3.7 rating among adults 18-49 and a total viewership of 10.3 million. It’s worth noting that the peek of last week’s MNF came at halftime on the Disney-owned cabler when the new Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer debuted.
Year-to-year, last night’s MNF dipped just over 3% in the MM results from the Arizona Cardinals’ 28-3 demolition of the New York Jets on October 17, 2016. With a rating that matched the Jets score, that demo season low eventually landed with a 3.0 among the 18-49s and 8.4 million viewers, an almost audience bottom.
Last night’s Titans-Colts battle peaked in both the 10:30-10:45 PM and 11:15-11:30 PM ET slots with a 6.9.
On a day that will see the NFL owners huddle in New York City to discuss the protests that have started many a game this season and a possible rule change around the national anthem, we’ll update with more MNF numbers and other ratings later today as they come in.
Could have fooled me. I was reading a book.
Let’s see if we can get it moved to the Golf Channel with much lower ratings!
To be fair, who would want to watch this particular match up?
I didnt care until I read this thread. Brought my GF to the pier for dinner and to chillax last night.
Hello down there!
Editors! So the “peak” of last weeks MNF ratings was when people took a “peek” at the Star Wars trailer?

That isn’t true. The NFL moved the network Monday Night game to Sunday Night and gave ESPN a Monday Night game. That was years ago when ratings were good and before the league let SWJs do whatever they wanted.
Rumor is that the NFL will ban taking a knee, but WILL allow the players to moon the audience.
I have heard that the NFL owners are split three ways over the issue.
Some support the players’ protest kneeling.
Some do not support it and are angry that it detracts from the game$.
Some are ambivalent and just want it to go away.
It would not surprise me if they just did away with the anthem totally.......................
I watched the Yankees win Game 3 of the ALCS. I didn’t even think of MNF.
The ALCS will be what they use to console themselves over losing their @sses last night.
Seems to me the media would want this to go away very badly as well. What hurts the NFL hurts them as well. Very surprising it remains in the news cycle. Qui bono?
You’ve got two factions in the media.
The Liberal talking heads that want this to go on and on and on as long as Trump is in office.
And
The Bean Counters in the Accounting Department and the Advertising sales staff.
Income profits ‘trumps’ ideology every time...............
