NFL Week 2 Overnights: Eagles/Bears Hits Week 2 Low on MNF("lowest ever for MNF in Week 2")
sportsmediawatch.com ^ | Sept 20, 2016

The Week 2 Eagles/Bears Monday Night Football game earned an 8.3 overnight rating on ESPN, down 11% from Jets/Colts last year (9.3), down 16% from Eagles/Colts in 2014 (9.9), and the lowest ever for MNF in Week 2 of the season. The previous low was an 8.5 for Washington/Philadelphia in 2007.

The Eagles’ win, which peaked at a 10.1 from 9:30-9:45 PM ET, was the ninth of the first 13 NFL telecast windows this season to hit a multi-year low in the overnights. That includes all three MNF telecasts.

ESPN’s telecast drew a 16.2 rating in Philadelphia and an 11.2 in Chicago. Coverage was simulcast on local independent affiliates in both markets, earning a 13.4 on WPHL in Philadelphia and a 10.9 on WCIU in Chicago. New Orleans was the top neutral market with a 12.9, with Norfolk (12.0) and Denver (11.3) rounding out the top five.

Please turn it off. If they can’t control these anti-American thugs, they don’t deserve our money. It’s boring as hell anyway. Read a book!!

And two major market teams at that. I wonder if that black power display during the national anthem had anything to do with it?

Looks like the STUFF hit the fan. MORE political statements during games, let us all know you are mad and don;t like the anthem...or the country that it stands for.

That’s actually pretty bad. First, Chicago and Philly are big market teams, and the Bears have a national following, including folks who hate them. The Eagles started Wentz, which should get some people checking in. Both teams are known for physical, crowd-pleasing style football (except when the Bears can’ score), and the game is a bit more interesting than last years AFC matchup of Jets and Colts. It should have scored higher. Maybe people really ARE getting sick of NFL PC crap.

BOYCOTT THE NFL!!! ESPN and the NFL have destroyed one of the great cultural icons with how they now treat MNF.

Not only the political issues affecting the viewership, but the commentary is awful as well.

Good points - I think the NFL thinks this is going blow over. This is like the bus strikes, we’re going to bring them to their knees ...
