Steve Bisciotti On NFL's Ratings: Fix Commercials

This is for fans who will grow tired of watching commercials during this weekend’s playoff football slate.

Ravens Owner Steve Bisciotti is right there in agreement.

“It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that nobody wants to see two minutes of commercials, come back, kick the ball and then go to a minute-and-a-half of commercials,” Bisciotti said Tuesday. “I’ve thought that was absurd since I was 20 years old.”

The NFL’s declining ratings have been widely reported this season, and there’s been much talk about why. The 2016 election, the referees, players’ off-field-issues, the crackdown on player celebrations, the injury-inducing big hits (and lack of big hits) have all been cited as possible factors.
