Teams are clearly tanking, and it makes the early slate of NFL games a rough watch for viewers.
“You know, Adam Silvers had this problem for a while with the tanking and today the tank was on for a lot of teams and and you could re really feel it in that morning window and it was a rough watch.”

The bottom of the NFL has become comparable to the bottom of the NBA due to unwatchable teams and the prevalence of tanking at the end of the season.
“I said the bottom of the NFL has become the bottom of the NBA. There are eight unwatchable teams. The New York Giants won today. They are eight and 30 in their last 38 games and four of their eight wins, half over that period, 38 games have been in week 17 and 18 when teams are tanking.”
