NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Week 7 Monday night NFL game between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles attracted 18.8 million viewers, despite both teams having a combined 4-8 record.
- Over one million additional viewers tuned into alternative broadcasts on ESPN2 and NFL Network, including the ManningCast and Next Gen Stats production.
- The NFL game competed against Game 3 of the World Series on Fox, with Fox yet to release viewership numbers, suggesting they may not be impressive.
- Previous World Series games on Friday and Saturday drew 12.259 million and 10.854 million viewers, respectively.
- Historically, the NFL has adjusted its schedule to avoid clashing with the World Series, but since 2010, both leagues have scheduled games head-to-head, with suggestions that baseball should avoid Sunday, Monday, and Thursday to minimize competition.
