Why do people think that happened? I have my theories. Last year on the AFC side, you had a rivalry matchup between the Steelers and Patriots. Both fanbases are diehard and make up two of the larger viewing markets in the NFL. Jacksonville just doesn’t reside in a big enough market. On the NFC side, you had Green Bay and Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers is one of the must see players in the NFL plus this year’s game was a blowout. Once I knew who the Patriots would be playing I checked out.

Your thoughts?
