The League of Integrity, the National Football League, is beginning to learn it's not infallible after all.
Early TV ratings reports show viewership is down in primetime games and in featured national telecasts.
The NFL Kickoff game on NBC was down from a year ago, and the Week 3 Sunday Night Football telecast between major markets Dallas and Chicago was down seven percent from 2015 (Denver and Detroit). That’s pretty significant when you consider the market sizes.
We also have seen the two lowest-rated Monday Night Football telecasts since at least 2009, which includes a Week 2 snoozer between Philadelphia and Chicago.
