Not at my house, they didn’t.
Well, it helps that we don’t have to watch the SJW dorks taking a knee!
I only started watching NFL football again this year, so I was gone for three years. And I will NOT watch any stupidity during Half Time at the Superbowl, with or without my Green Bay Packers.
Didn’t miss a College game, though I wish I had missed the Rose Bowl yesterday. :(
Badgers! Ya dopes!
Could it be not kneeling for the national anthem has opened the door for some fans to return? Maybe the dropping of the freak show drafts?
All I know is the media will never mention either of those being significant.
I don’t watch but my wife is obsessed about the Ravens.
I stopped watching and haven’t gone back.
This MD house has no NFL in it, and no Ravens.
Houston and New England are the largest markets in the playoffs.
New Orleans, Baltimore and Green Bay are smaller markets and two of those small market teams will be in the Super Bowl.
However, for the Super Bowl, small markets do not decrease ratings.
The NFL always wins.

I wasn’t part of that survey.
I’m in Houston. Haven’t watched a game since the kneeling era began.
Now it gets GOOD. PLAYOFFS !! Yeah baby
Eagles. Niners My home and adopted home towns
They made a middle of the road decision, and no longer show the anthem before most games. People watching do not have to watch kneeling pukes any more, and no one talks about it. It took a lot of the power away from the SJW players by doing that, and pulled the iron out of the fire.
I used to watch all the games I possibly could before these pukes started kneeling. Now, I watch if I have the time, or feel like it, which I mostly don’t any more.
Not surprising at all, witnessing the massive amount of threads here on the NFL the past week. Every single coaching fire/hire..any kind of NFL or College football rumor at all gets a new thread. This, even after the NFL has deliberately and in-your-face told everyone they don’t want you freeper types watching their product. I know the Rats relish the fact that so many people are distracted with Football 24 hours a day.
Because of the WSJ paywall, I didn’t read the article. With that said, I suspect that viewership is up for two reasons among others: An increase in the number of states where sports betting is legal and fantasy football.
Note to the NFL: Talk is cheap. Show us the income.
NFL games are pretty much the only thing on broadcast television that is generating any viewership at all.
