ST: Cowboys-Commanders clash draws best TV ratings in 20 years

[Reality]

Fox Sports said Thursday’s game averaged 35.1 million viewers, more than any regular-season game in the network’s history, which dates to 1994. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello tweeted that it was the most-watched regular-season game for any network since the 1995 Thanksgiving Day game between the 9-2 Cowboys and 10-1 Kansas City Chiefs, which drew 35.7 million viewers.

Of the NFL season’s five most-watched games, the Cowboys have been in four of them, with the Thanksgiving Day game leading the way. Dallas also drew big numbers against the Steelers (28.9 million) earlier this month, against the Green Bay Packers (28.0 million) in October, and against the New York Giants (27.5 million) in September’s season opener.

I thought the Cowboys weren't relevant any more and Jerry Jones had ruined the Dallas Cowboys forever?

Read it in here A TON within the last year.

Cowboys are always relevant to ratings...

When in doubt - give 'em Dallas.

After the first few weeks of this NFL season, as television ratings numbers showed a decline in viewership, particularly for primetime games, there were a lot of theories as to why. The league believed it was primarily related to folks’ insatiable appetite for information about the 2016 Presidential election and people watching channels like CNN, Fox News and MSNBC.

Others can say it
They surely want to claim it
but it's a pipe dream
there's only one America's Team

The NFL is just better when the Cowboys are rolling. Always has been ...Always will be

 

[Risen Star]

Who else thought this was about the Commanders?

 

[Yakuza Rich]

The NFL has tried to promote the Patriots, Steelers and Seahawks and it has bored NFL fans and had them leave in droves.

It's time that the NFL wakes up.

Folks don't get your wit/sarcasm and honestly think you're a Cowboys hater. But I love it.

Wow!
It has taken 11 years to break that mark.

Wow!
It has taken 11 years to break that mark.

11??

 

[SDCowboy]

Not surprising. Beyond the obvious Cowboys-effect, Dak and Zeke are already two of the biggest stars in the league and must watch TV.

I'm a better writer than I am a mathematician.

Thanks for the catch.

 

[tyke1doe]

Yall got me.

Can you imagine what a New England-Dallas/Pittsburgh-Dallas Super Bowl would draw?
