‘Thursday Night Football’ Ratings Even With Last Week As Steelers Crush Titans

Facing the Latin Grammys on Univision, the Boston Celtics victory over the Golden State Warriors further up the dial, and a full slate on the rest of the Big 4 including the winter finale of the last season of Scandal, last night was never going to be easy for Thursday Night Football – and in the end, it took no ground but lost no traction in the ratings. Week 11 of the controversy heavy and ratings challenged NFL season and week two back on NBC, the near mid-week franchise suffered even more struggles as the Pittsburgh Steelers decimated the Tennessee Titans 40-17. All of the Steelers stood during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner last night.
