Bill Lions set Thanksgiving viewership record

[78thealltimegreat]

More then 31 million people watched their Thanksgiving game setting a viewership record for the early Thanksgiving game.

I don’t think it’s because of the Lions either.  With ratings like this get used to them playing on Thanksgiving way more often.

I bet the win streak they were on helped.  They have also played other top teams in Miami, Philly, and Minn tough losing by only 3 or 4.

I think 60% of your total post to this forum. 🤔

It was a great day to watch NFL.  

42 million watched Cowboys/Giants on FOX.  It was the most watched regular season game on any network on record.

Oops time to take a break

I think it’s because we were the early game when everyone was pretty sober.

 

 

 

And hours later……they just don’t remember watching the later games.   😋

I believe this.  I was at my niece's for Thanksgiving, arriving in the 4th quarter of the game.  Her live stream kept cutting out as we watched the game!  She said it only happens when she watches Bills football games.  Well...just as Bass kicked the FG and it was heading towards the goal post, the video cut out!  Ahhhhh!  What happened????  My nephew was watching the ESPN game cast on his phone, and knew the result, so we were happily relieved when he told us the Bills won!   We watched the second game, Giants at Dallas with no video interruptions.  BTW, I watched the first 3 quarters of the game at my home via video stream with no issues.

 

I am hoping to catch a game replay so I can watch the game in its entirety, uninterrupted.

2nd time...Dallas was a huge rating boon too

Tv rating don’t get drunk and they know how many houses are tuned in lol

[ChrisWatson#21]

With so many AFC teams in the thick of things especially the east many tuned in to root against the struggling Bills.  It’s not all love out there.

The choice between drunk uncle’s politics or football is a winning strategy for the NFL.

We had the TV on while outside playing catch with our Bills football. But sure, most viewed. *wink*

The second game set a record too. It’s more of a football + holiday thing than anything related to the specific teams or matchups.

Football + holiday yes. 
BUT, NFL has smartly paired great product matchups on Tday lately.
 

—Lions much better, compelling 

—Dallas/Giants better pair

—NE/Vikes compelling

 

kudos to the NFL money boyz. 3 compelling games and is why they didn’t help snowbound Bills by moving Thu game to Sun. 

gone are the days of 2 really bad NFC pairs.
