I was wondering how this would play out. Yesterday was an unusually good day for the NFL. As the article notes. They had two great games during the day, and the prime time game was just as good if not better. Plus the prime-time game and the Cowboy-Steeler game were high profile and heavily hyped all week. So they had great match-ups that actually lived up to the billing.
This can only be good news for them, plus the distractions of the fall behind them - but I think we will need to see a few more weeks of overall ratings recovery before we pronounce the patient well.
