Cincinnati: Last night’s Bengals-Cowboys game really pulled in the viewers. Can you believe 18.7 million people tuned in? That’s a huge number!
Even though the Cowboys have been struggling, they still manage to attract a crowd. It’s wild how the NFL keeps people hooked, right?
Interestingly, this audience was just a bit more than the 17.29 million who watched the Packers-Lions game on Prime Video a few days ago. They later updated that number to 18.48 million, which is pretty close.
Looks like the NFL is trying to boost its numbers by expanding ABC simulcasts next year. They’re not too happy with how the other broadcasts are doing.
Oh, and did you hear about the ManningCast? It had around 900,000 viewers. ESPN usually keeps quiet when the numbers drop below a million, so this is a bit of a reveal.
As for the Simpsons twist on the game, it was only available on ESPN+ and Disney+. No one really knows how many watched it, but I bet it wasn’t anything to write home about!
