It&#8217;s the third straight week of a ratings dropoff. This week&#8217;s episode was the first of the season that went up against NFL Monday Night Football on ESPN.<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s rating is down from last year&#8217;s same-week rating of 1.97 and below the two-years-ago rating of 1.88.<\/p>\n<p>The ten-week rolling average headed into this week was 1.94. The 2018 average so far is 2.08, below the 2017 average through this week of 2.12.<\/p>\n<p>The first hour drew 2.818 million, the lowest first hour viewership since July 9.
