turtle28 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Over 30 Million For Washington-Dallas on FOX http://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2018/11/nfl-thanksgiving-ratings-cowboys-fox/ Thursday’s Washington-Dallas NFL Thanksgiving special earned a 12.5 rating and 30.5 million viewers on FOX, per Nielsen fast-nationals — up 13% in ratings and 16% in viewership from last year (Chargers-Cowboys: 11.1, 26.3M), but down 14% and 13% respectively from the same matchup in 2016 (14.5, 35.1M). Including viewership on streaming and Spanish-language platforms, the game had 30.8 million. Dallas’ win, which peaked with 32.7 million from 7-7:15 PM ET, delivered the largest NFL audience of the season, pending final results. Prior to Thanksgiving, the high water mark was 23.7 million for Packers-Patriots on NBC in Week 9. Overall, it was the most-watched regular season window since the 2016 Washington-Dallas Thanksgiving game. Excluding the NFL playoffs, it also delivered the largest television audience of 2018. It ranks ahead of the Alabama-Georgia college football national championship (28.4M) and the Academy Awards (26.6M). In the past decade, only four non-NFL sporting events have earned a larger audience. Game 7 of the 2016 World Series had 40.1 million, Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals had 31.0 million, and the 2015 and 2009 college football national championship games had 34.1 and 30.8 million, respectively.

naptownskinsfan Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Still less than 2016, I wonder why that is. I have my theories though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats my primary theory, along with fans on both sides who are probably upset that they have meddling owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 A lot of theories out there, whether you agree with them or not, but they delve into topics that aren’t about football. Thus, we should leave them alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Thank you for the stats, @turtle28. Given that four of the five responses have been about how people are walking up to or crossing the line (and then editing it) of what is allowed around here, I'm just going to lock this up.
