Rumor is the NFL is seeing decline in ratings. Well, it's certainly not because of Cowboys fans.

With the Cowboys hosting the Baltimore Ravens at noon, folks were presented with an issue. Go to church and miss the game or go to the game and miss church?

How about bringing the game to church? That's what at least one church did.

OK. We should point out that Dallas-based Friendship West's service had ended before the game was thrown on the screen. The church had moved onto a post-service event when the game was put on, it tweeted.

This was after church was ending. For all concerned we had an event going on immediately after church and wanted to make it easy to watch. https://t.co/F9SN4ZWRbG — Friendship-West (@friendshipwest) November 21, 2016

The church tried to explain itself further in a Monday afternoon statement, again pounding home the point that the game was put on the screen after the church had ended service and started a business event.

"Friendship-West is aware that a great deal of our membership and the community are Dallas Cowboy's [sic] fans and were working to make it easy to support the 38 businesses hosted, while at the same time being able to watch the game."

"I am admittedly a Dallas Cowboys fan, but first and foremost, a follower of Jesus Christ," senior pastor Frederick D. Hayes III said in the statement.
