I agree with you that it’s possible you’d see an uptick in viewers from other years but it’s off a relatively small base. And the NFL didn’t have to disrupt their cycle to do it so they had the prospect of trades etc. of which there were plenty.
If you have hope of finishing the season that needs to be the priority, not a little potential ratings jump in your off season programming IMO.
