While FOX was in the penthouse during Week 7, CBS stumbled into the outhouse.
Sunday’s NFL singleheader on CBS drew a mere 6.4 rating and 10.5 million viewers, down 37% in ratings and 36% in viewership from a 10.1 and 16.3 million for last year’s Week 7 singleheader on FOX.
The 6.4 rating is the lowest of the season for an NFL telecast on any network, while the 10.5 million viewers is the second-lowest.
So far this season, the four lowest rated, least-viewed NFL telecasts of the season have all aired on CBS.
