Has the NFL bubble burst?

[pbmax]

Just to keep the vibe going...

Game 5 of the World Series dominated the Sunday Night Football matchup between Dallas and Philly in terms of TV viewership. The World Series has had some games in the past outdraw prime time NFL matchups...but that was usually against weak matchups and/or teams from smaller TV markets. I think the last time this happened, Indy and New Orleans were playing the NFL game...and those are 2 of the smaller NFL TV markets. This was a strong SNF game this week with the huge viewership of the Dallas Cowboys and a pretty solid Philly market to draw from...and they still couldn't beat baseball.

Overall, viewership of the prime time NFL games is still trending toward the range of -20% this year across the board.

Helps that its been a fun series. Even the 7-2 game developed slowly and had a lot of tension. Been a blast to watch and I generally cannot stand baseball on TV.
