The ratings for NFL “Thursday Night Football” continued to drop again this week, scoring a 9.9/17 in metered market results on CBS and the NFL Network, according to Deadline Friday. Weeks of fan turn-off sparked by inappropriate protests during the national anthem have affected team revenues and further blackened the reputation of the NFL’s leadership. Efforts to boost viewership will include changes in the rules players abide by on the field and NFL hope’s are that the new rules will spark dramatic changes in viewership.
