The Denver Broncos’ 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Prime Video’s “Thursday Night Football” Nov. 6 may have been a snooze fest, but it was still the fifth most-watched TV program across U.S. households for the week ended Nov. 9, according to new data from Nielsen.
The game generated 13.9 million viewers across almost 8.2 million households, which was up from the 12.23 million viewers across 7.3 million households who live-streamed the Baltimore Ravens beating the Miami Dolphins, 28-6, on Oct. 30.
The viewership tally ended a three-week decline for Prime Video’s exclusive distribution of Thursday Night Football.
The ongoing strength of the NFL, along with college football, basketball and the NBA, continue to drive household TV viewership during the week of Nov. 9, securing 9 of the Top 10 telecasts across broadcast, cable and live streaming
The NFL secured eight of the Top 10 slots across six different networks/distributors – Fox, NBC, CBS, Prime Video, ABC, and ESPN.
College Football secured 11 of the Top 25 slots including, No. 7 – LSU vs. Alabama (ABC), 7.4 million viewers; No. 8 – Indiana vs. Penn St. (Fox); No. 11 – Oregon vs. Iowa (CBS, Paramount+); No. 12 – Texas A&M vs Missouri (ABC); No. 13 – BYU vs. Texas Tech (ABC); No. 15 – Navy vs. Notre Dame (NBC, Peacock); No. 17 – Iowa St. vs. TCU (Fox, Fox One); No. 18 – Georgia vs. Mississippi St (ESPN); No. 19 – Nebraska vs. UCLA (Fox, Fox One); No. 20 – Northwestern vs. USC (Fox, Fox One); No. 21 – Ohio St. vs. Purdue (Big Ten Network).
