Montana against Giants (1990). Giants vs Cowboys (2022). Only 3 games to eclipse 40 million viewers.

That 1990 game was on Monday and both teams 10-1 and coming off a loss. Both teams started 10-0

I am sorry you had a rotten Thanksgiving.

It was playing in the background at countless family dinners and restaurants.

Rotten? Stats put on a great show yesterday. But it's too bad he won't be able to repeat the performance against a team like the 9ers

How? Why?

Outside of Cowboys fans, I really can't see anyone being interested in that game, not even Washington fans.

Seriously? Yesterday wasn't some random Sunday in September.

Football and the Dallas Cowboys are inextricably-woven into the fabric of the American Thanksgiving holiday. What else would be on the TV with everybody indoors eating & drinking?

And, then there was the well-publicized halftime appearance of Dolly Parton, almost universally loved in the heartland. Something which certainly boosted ratings even among households not otherwise inclined to pay attention to a football game.

WOW..With That Viewership Numbers, Didn't Know Dolly Had That Big Of a Following...

Here in TN she is near godlike status.

I have a feeling Dec 10th is going to be a record setting viewership.

CBS Sports putting out numbers on a game they broadcasted.
Would like for a couple of independent TV ratings entities \ services to provide information to back up their findings.
And I post this to be researched for the other sports networks that lay to claim to a record viewership for their sports broadcasts.

Good point on Dolly. I'm not sure that yesterday's Thanksgiving game should be the third-most-watched compared to some of our past Thanksgiving games, though. It isn't like we're comparing it only to other teams' games. It was the third-most-watched ever, even with lowly Washington playing.

Cowboys and Washington on Thanksgiving feels like a traditional holiday rivalry. At least to me.
