Monday night’s game between the Atlanta Falcons and the New Orleans Saints wasn’t expected to draw a huge TV audience. Neither of those teams has a national following, ratings for “Monday Night Football” overall have been in decline, the game was barely competitive and there was a certain presidential debate going up against it.

So the 5.7 overnight rating that Falcons-Saints garnered for ESPN probably shouldn’t come as any big surprise, but it could end up being the least-watched “MNF” game in history.

As noted by Sports Media Watch, the rating for Monday’s game was down 36 percent from the Week 3 game last year (Chiefs/Packers) and down 38 percent from the comparable game in 2014 (Bears/Jets). The 5.7 rating would be the lowest for any NFL game this season. It also would be a sharp decline from the last time “MNF” went up against a presidential debate in 2012, when the Lions-Bears game drew a 7.3 overnight rating (that game also was going up against a National League Championship Series contest).

The debate between presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump — which was televised by many networks — is expected to be the most-watched in American history, according to CNN’s Brian Stelter, likely beating the 81 million who watched Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter square off in 1980 and perhaps reaching 100 million. For comparison’s sake, the Super Bowl in February drew an average of 112 million viewers.
