If you stayed up to watch the Jets and Colts on Monday night, you weren't alone. But you sure were close. Indy thrashed a lifeless Jets team 41-10, and there weren't a whole lot of people watching it happen.
The Sports Business Journal reports that the Colts-Jets overnight rating narrowly missed being the lowest-rated Monday Night Football game in history behind the Falcons-Saints game from September that went up against a presidential debate.
6.0 overnight for Colts-Jets just above record-low "MNF" rating (5.7) for Falcons-Saints on Sept. 27 (aired against 1st Presidential debate)

It wasn't just fans at home bolting the game, either. The New York Daily News has shots of the stands that are just sad -- most of the Jets fans in attendance cleared out at halftime. And at the end of the game it was just the die-hard fans left.

And the guys with custom bags on their heads.
And the streakers.
But even they were taken away by police.
