It's kind of a tough line to walk though. Because on one hand, yeah blowouts are boring and they want tightly contested games.
On the other hand though, a Jacksonville-Buffalo game could be very compelling and the two could have a legit good back-and-forth game that goes to the wire, but who will care? Nobody would tune in for that.
Gotta strike the balance between competitive and meaning. I guess.
Thankfully (for the NFL) so many millions of people are invested in fantasy and gambling that they'll watch anything tbh
