NFL ratings take a hit from Hurricane Irma coverage

This weekend, the Jose Altuve Youth Jersey NFL was competing with extended coverage of Hurricane Irma, a deadly storm that engulfed the Caribbean and the entire state of Florida. The extraordinary circumstance puts off any determination on whether the ratings are on a downward trend for another week. CNN, Fox News, MSNBC Jon Weeks Authentic Jersey and the Weather Channel had a combined audience of 11.6 million viewers from 1 to 7:30 p.m. Eastern on Sunday during the height of the storm. The figure is more than four times what those channels Jeff Allen Youth Jersey accrued on the first Sunday of the 2016 season and likely cut into the regional and national NFL games airing on CBS and Fox. Regional CBS Jadeveon Clowney Jersey games took in 13.4 million viewers, down 17% from last year’s opening week. Fox regional contests scored 11.3 million viewers, a 28% drop. Fox’s national game averaged 22.8 million viewers, down 17%. There was one bright Greg Mancz Jersey spot for NBC’s “NFL Sunday Night Football,” as the Dallas Cowboys’ 19-3 win over the New York Giants was watched by 24.2 million viewers, an increase of 5% over the first Sunday game last year. But that game faced unusual competition with the Weather Channel and news networks as well.
