The Average NFL Fan Will Watch 23.5 Hours Of Commercials And Only 4.1 Hours Of Game Action.

After a six-year hiatus, Hank Williams Jr. is returning to Monday Night Football this NFL season, again asking America, “Are you ready for some football?”

But basic math shows the country singer should be asking us more about our appetite for some commercials.

The average NFL fan will watch nearly 24 hours of commercials during the 17-week regular season and only 4 hours of actual game action. Those numbers, based on a Streaming Observer analysis, come at a time when NFL ratings are in a significant decline, perhaps largely in part due to the high volume of commercials that provide the league with about $3.1 billion annually.

Anyway, this will probably get moved for a thread about Christian McCaffrey's testicles or something.  But, anyway, this is one of the many reasons why Red Zone is a sound investment on NFL Sundays.

Not me. As soon as one game goes to commercial, I switch to the next one. If they're both on commercial break, I will watch something else for a couple of minutes.

Wow. I can't imagine sitting through commercials like that. I see commercials as merely the perfect time to grab a snack or beverage, or make room for more beverages in the bladder.

Yeah, that too. I don't drink beer anymore but, when I did, commercials were for peeing, lol.

We get it.

So this beg the question- do you actually watch Panthers games in their entirety?

Yes, I watch every Panthers game in their entirety, but during commercials I switch to Red Zone.  Which, coincidentally shows the scores for every other game, and the Panthers game.  You weren't asking for a friend either, don't be an ass.

Eh, it's not worth it to me. They show that all summer long on Sundays for free anyway.

Totally worth it to me, think it's only like 50 bucks for the season.

I might purchase it---can you stream Red Zone package from NFL.com? Would be nice to simultaneously watch on my Surface while watching Panthers games (in their entirety).

Google is my friend.

you can

Redzone is life. Panther's game on separate screen.
