The overnights are in, and, unless the NFL wants to manipulate some better matchups than some 20+-point blowouts, it may be finally time to put the kibosh on the Week 1 MNF doubleheader.
Jets-Lions was the worst first game since the ESPN experiment started: 7.5, down 4% from last year, never got higher than a 9.0. Sixth-worst Week 1 MNF ratings in history.
The second game topped that, tied for the second-worst Week 1 rating in the history of the program, as the Rams fourth-quarter rout of the Raiders did 7.0 -- even with last year's late game.
