Key Points:

- CBS reported that this game is also the most-watched Week 4 NFL game in broadcast history, though historical comparisons are complicated by changes in measuring out-of-home viewers.
- The Chiefs continue to be a major ratings draw during the Patrick Mahomes era, and the Raiders’ surprising 3-0 start contributed to the high interest in this closely contested matchup.
- The game was competitive and exciting, with the Raiders holding a fourth-quarter lead before the Chiefs ultimately won 30-27, justifying the large audience.
