It felt like a little bit of history was being made on Monday Night Football as the Tennessee Titans finally snapped their streak of 11 consecutive losses to the Indianapolis Colts. However, as social media sparked with ESPN not showing the playing of the national anthem, another type of history was also being made: Last night’s primetime broadcast of the Titans’ 36-22 victory stumbled to a season low with a 6.1 in metered market results.
In a season stained by overall ratings declines and political controversy, that NFLWeek 6 rating is down 13% from the early numbers of the much tighter October 9 matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears. That MNF season low went on to deliver a 3.7 rating among adults 18-49 and a total viewership of 10.3 million. It’s worth noting that the peek of last week’s MNF came at halftime on the Disney-owned cabler when the new Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer debuted.

The collective intelligence of the biggest share of players is nothing to write home about. Somebody got into the league and started pushing this kneeling idea and now it's mob rule.
Ahhhh, this topic is starting to die off just like the kneeling crap. Holidays are coming.
They meant peak, not peek. If you want to confuse a millennial journalist, just throw them some homonyms.
No NFL on my TV. No NFL merchandise under my tree either. The NHL will get all my holiday $$$$ this year!
Wow it feels so much better not to watch any football , I can do other important things , honey do's , things that really need to be done .
Football was just an escape from reality. Thank GOD I found something else that is much more important in my life , my family.
