THE NFL REIGNS ON BROADCAST TV

Now that the field has been cleared on the 2020-21 NFL Primetime season -- regular, post and Super Bowl -- it's time to wrap it all up and reflect on what came to pass. After the last few seasons of an NFL resurgence in total audience viewership, there was a fumble on the play with declines from 2019-20.  There is no denying the plethora of eyeballs the sport brings to broadcast television despite the drop off in performance this season. The formidable growth of streaming as an alternative to viewers and the COVID pandemic negatively butting its head into all areas of entertainment and sports this past season, may be contributing factors to the declines from year ago.
