Just hours DeSean Jackson Jersey before the NFL kicked off its first Sunday of game-day action in 2017, Hurricane Irma made landfall in the Florida Keys as a Category 4 storm, plunging millions of Sunshine State residents into darkness and sending millions more scrambling to the Weather Channel and CNN. While the league Kirk Cousins Kids Jersey hoped a strong Week 1 schedule would help wash away the overarching narrative of last season, when ratings dropped 8 percent, Irma had other ideas. According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day ratings, all local and national TV windows (i.e., the 1 p.m. ET broadcasts on CBS and Fox, the DeMarco Murray Jersey Fox late-national game and NBC's "Sunday Night Football") were down 13 percent in total viewers compared to the year-ago results.
