Maybe Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers should play every week. (Maddie Meyer/Getty Images)The NFL’s TV ratings have been on something of an upswing this season after a few down years, and that trend continued Sunday night during the highly anticipated matchup between the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers and their marquee quarterbacks, Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. [Aaron Rodgers did all he could but Tom Brady won. The 15.6 overnight rating was a 63 percent improvement over the Week 9 Sunday night game in 2017 (Raiders-Dolphins) and a 33 percent increase from the comparable game in 2016 (Broncos-Raiders). For all games Sunday, the NFL’s overnight TV ratings were up 17 percent compared with the same Sunday in 2017, Karp said.
