No. But the media schlubs take it on the chin, which is almost as good.

According to Rush, if ratings don’t maintain a certain threshold, NFL gives credits to advertisers for future commercials - that is, they get reduced rates or free advertising time for future games.

Not necessarily. The media revenue is guaranteed in the contract they negotiated. But if the channels don't recoup their money and viewship drops, when it's time to negotiate they offer less money.

This isn't hurting the NFL today, and that's they aren't freaking out over it. If it lasts, they they start to panic.

Exactly. What does this do to TV revenue?
