We already know that television is big business, and the NFL is big television. But just how big? Well, the good folks over at Sports Business Daily compiled a list of how every NFL team’s market performed this year (along with statistical comparisons to the past two years).
The most tuned in market in the NFL? New Orleans, which led all NFL markets with a 52.0 local rating during the regular season, and has consistently been one of the top markets in the NFL.
Among the markets that saw the biggest increase in ratings this season were the Chiefs, with a 41% jump, and the Seahawks with a 37% jump. In fact, in the past two seasons the Seahawks have seen a remarkable 77% jump overall, showing that winning really does matter (as if we didn’t already know that).
