The Broncos-Raiders game drew an 11.7 overnight rating, down significantly from last year’s Week 9 Sunday Night matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys. That game drew a 14.7 rating.
And it wasn’t just the primetime game: according to Sports Business Journal’s Austin Karp, ratings for the national CBS afternoon games were also down 20 percent compared to Week 9 in 2015, and the Fox window at 1 p.m. was down 9 percent.
As noted by Pro Football Talk’s Michael David Smith, ratings have now been down in 26 of the 27 NFL primetime games this season.

I'm telling you man, that abortion of a Super Farce turned off a TON of fans. No one bought that as legit. There is a huge number of fans tgat think the NFL is WWE like. Mumble mumble Budweiser.
