Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has demanded that his players not participate in the protests aimed at raising awareness about racism
The NFL's ratings saga continued in Week 1, as the Dallas Cowboys drew their lowest local Week 1 Nielsen rating since 2009.
According to Barry Horn, who previously worked for the Dallas Morning News, the Cowboys drew a 28.2 in the Dallas-Fort Worth media market for Sunday's opening loss to the Panthers in Carolina. The Cowboys haven't drawn such a low local rating since they opened the season at Tampa Bay following a year in which they did not make the playoffs.
The current Cowboys have not reached the postseason in two years and did not make any major off-season acquisitions, although they did lose three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Dez Bryant and are currently without All-Pro center Travis Frederick, who is suffering from an autoimmune disorder.
But even given the team's limited expectations, the Cowboys have been one of the league's more reliable draws at the box office and in terms of Nielsen ratings. The team is valued at a league-high $4.8 billion, according to Forbes.

In total, NFL ratings have slipped roughly 17 percent over the last two years. Many critics, including President Donald Trump, have pointed to the controversial protests during the national anthem, which are aimed at raising awareness of racism and police brutality against minorities.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been very critical of the protests as well, going so far as to tell reporters during training camp that 'Our policy is that you stand at the anthem, toe on the line.'
The Cowboys were one of six NFL teams to not have a single player protest during the national anthem last season, according to multiple reports. However, the team did kneel in unison, along with Jones, before standing together while locking arms for the national anthem prior to a game on September 25, 2017.

Sunday's CBS coverage was up 28 percent from 2017, thanks to the Patriots-Texans game

CBS, which broadcasts AFC games on Sundays, drew over 17 million viewers for the Patriots-Texans opener in Houston. Overall, the network's coverage was up 28 percent from 2017

Fox enjoyed a 5 percent uptick for its local games compared to 2017
Despite a disastrous season opener in Philadelphia on September 6, which was delayed by rain and suffered a 13 percent ratings drop from 2017, the NFL's overall ratings were only down 1 percent in Week 1 compared to last season, according to the New York Post.
However, there was a vast discrepancy between the most popular and least popular games.
Sunday's CBS coverage was up 28 percent from 2017—thanks largely to the Houston Texans-New England Patriots opener – while Fox enjoyed a 5 percent uptick for its local games.
NBC, however, suffered a 9 percent drop for the Green Bay Packers-Chicago Bears Sunday Night game, despite the fact that quarterback Aaron Rodgers led the Packers to a thrilling comeback win.
Week 1 marked the third consecutive year that the NFL ratings have fallen in the first week.

A weather delay didn't help, but the NFL regular season opener between the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles and visiting Atlanta Falcons had its lowest ratings in 10 years

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
