New York (CNN Business)The NFL has so far kept up with a ratings boost that started a season ago.

One month into its 2019 season, the league's viewership is up around 5% compared to this time last year, attracting an average of roughly 16 million viewers across the league's network partners, according to Nielsen data. The NFL's viewership is also up 8% from 2017 and down just 1% from 2016. This season's numbers build on last year's ratings, which rebounded following two seasons of declining viewership.
