We were still 17th in league-wide viewers, so I doubt the schedule makers do us any favors.

If they were smart, they'd absolutely give us more primetime games because, once Burrow has some protection and starts putting up big numbers and wins, he'll get a lot of new fans, as will the team.

We're only behind the Ravens in Super Bowl odds, so maybe they'll take notes from Vegas and realize that we'll have a lot of people interested in our team once we start winning games.

I voted three but I'm thinking maybe the schedule makers take their heads out of their asses and give out games based on what will be the best games and what teams will be successful.

I still don't think we'll get the Ravens or Steelers in primetime because the NFL won't want to see them lose on the big stage, but maybe times are changing.

Didn't we have a prime time game removed after Burrow was hurt? Wouldn't that knock down our viewership in 2023? Wouldn't Burrow getting hurt cost of viewers in 2023?

My point is 17th is actually very good when you factor in the loss of a beloved QB nationally.
