3 things


1. Election year. A whole lot of people watched the debate instead of MNF. There's also a ton of news coverage people are watching.

2. Oversaturation. There's been so much frikkin NFL news in the last 2 years it's ridiculous. And when you have round the clock coverage of deflate - gate and Ray Rice (news still talking about him) people are tired of seeing it.

3. Natural regression. You can't expect to hit a new all time peak year after year. The fantasy football was a huge deal, and now that has receded a bit, partly due to #2 above. The casual fantasy football player is inundated with an overwhelming amount of news and coverage around the clock. That's turning people off. The daily fantasy thing has gotten a big black eye as many people realize they're competing for the "millionaire maker" against 20-30 professional fantasy players who enter 150 times apiece. Those few professionals are the ones really profiting. Everyone else is lucky to break even.
