The article also touches on the NFL's strategic scheduling of high-profile games on holidays, which has become a tradition that significantly boosts ratings. Furthermore, it notes that the NFL's consistent performance in ratings is a testament to its enduring appeal and the league's effective marketing and broadcasting strategies.
