Across the board ratings decline of 10 -20% compared to first weekend playoff games last year
Sunday declines explained in part by early game last year having national team in Steelers rather than Jags & Bills while 2016 late game had national team in Packers + NY team but even taking that into account the NFL has to be concerned
There should be some concerns here for the NFL and its broadcasters, as this follows a regular season where NFL ratings dropped 9.7 per cent overall (and from a 2016 season that was already down from its predecessor, too).

Will see if a similar dropoff occurs this weekend
