Another metric - No One Watching the Saints (Teams that pulled the most and fewest viewers in 2024)

We out drew the Falcons and their city has about 10x the population AND they were in the playoff hunt in week 18. That’s embarrassing for Atlanta.

We outdrew the Broncos. 😄

I suspect our tv viewership plummeted late in the season. Given the size of our TV market and our performance on the field, this graphic is better than I would have predicted.
The Falcons don't really have that many true fans, they mainly have bandwagon folks who hop on when they're playing well. We are unique in the bulk of our fanbase, particularly over 30+ who had to endure the dark times. That's the danger of losing, even hardcore fans begin to tune out.
