Breitbart: NFL Ratings Take a Dive in the Divisional Round
Despite four thrilling NFL playoff games last weekend, viewership ratings fell for the second consecutive week. The Ravens-Bills game attracted 42.2 million viewers, down 16% from last year, while the Eagles-Rams matchup drew 37.8 million, a 6% decrease.
