The NFL continues to get sacked.

Monday Night Football’s Bucs-Panthers game saw ratings tumble 24 percent versus the same Week 5 game a year ago.

Over the first five weeks, ratings are down more than 10 percent.

And it's not because of The Debates:

Last week’s “Sunday Night Football” NBC telecast saw ratings fall 22 percent — but that game was up against the presidential debate.

Monday night had no debate and neither did the game last Thursday on CBS, which saw ratings decline 20 percent versus the same game last year.

But the news isn't all bad for Roger and The Owners:

To be sure, the NFL game was still the most popular show for the evening. 

But it's still pretty bad:

 But the king of TV ratings is much less powerful this season.

Thoughts?
