Once again, Saints are ratings gold. Yet the cowboys will have 12 primetime games next season

2 out of the top 3. Plus a Superbowl [ most watched program ever ]. If that doesn't show who America wants to watch I don't know what will.lus-un2:

Nobody can use the excuse that it was because we played a large market team on the east coast either.

We are talking about 2 teams from the NFC South. The division in the NFL that has the smallest combined television market in the NFL by a long shot.

That's a great point. That's always been the counter argument to anytime the Saints had high ratings in the past.

I know it's obvious but the cowboys are on there twice. It's littered with Favre games
