Still way down and the only reason it is up is matchups.

How about being smug saying this "NFL ratings are not down 20 percent, not sure where you got that from".  I showed you where I got it from and it was and is still correct.

Your article is also not as rosy as you make it seem.

Also - declines were through week 1o which was 2 weeks ago so I am not one month behind in the news cycle.  Through the first nine weeks, ratings had shown [URL='http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-nfl-ratings-20161025-snap-story.html']double-digit declines [/URL]when compared with the 2015 season.

Week 12 SNF game down 27 pts from last year.

As of week 14 ratings are still falling.

Point is their ratings were boosted by a few great matchups for the last 1-2 weeks and a dropping again after those games.  Most of the boosts are due to the Cowboys and Raiders.
