- Because of the importance of matchups, it's generally folly to compare individual NFL results (especially individual preseason NFL results). But the Hall of Fame Game (2.8) didn't get the NFL off to a very promising start in 2014-15; it was 26% below last year's 3.8, though last year's game had the always potent Dallas Cowboys Effect at play. This was still ahead of all the other preseason games last year.
- The CBS lineup was bumped seven minutes by a golf overrun, which may have been a factor in two-tenth drops for Big Brother (2.0) and Unforgettable (0.8).
- Cable numbers added below, and WGN America's Manhattan (0.05, which rounds down to 0.0) pulled off something you don't see every day: a seventy-four percent week-to-week decline. I know percent changes can get wacky with numbers this small, but it was already starting from a bad number last week. Geez.
