23,788 000 - pally - 01-05-2023

Monday night drew the biggest audience in ESPN's Monday night history. They would have seen one helluva game

Imagine, if they always scheduled two good teams. To be fair they put Denver in a bunch of prime time slots we didn’t know they were going to suck so bad.

Wrong. Tied.

The Bills and Bengals enter this game with a combined 23 wins, the most between two teams on "Monday Night Football" since the San Francisco 49ers squared off against the Denver Broncos in Week 16 of the 1997 season. The 49ers entered the game at 12-2 and the Broncos at 11-3, with San Francisco winning 34-17.

Quote:During game play, ESPN averaged 21.1 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings. That audience then grew to 23.9 million viewers between 9 p.m. to 10:15 p.m. when ESPN aired news coverage of Hamlin’s collapse.

This is what I figured.  The ratings started out very strong but grew as social media drew attention to the situation.

Now I don’t know how the ratings are done. And I’m sure a lot wanted to see that game. But how many tuned in and watched and waited for news on Damar once it started getting out

Sounds about a little less than 3 million

It was a marquee billing

I mean the Buffalo Bills have been the media's darling all year and May as well be in the Superbowl. The Bengals just happen to get the attention as a bystander. I imagine anyway you look at it now even more so, the Bills will Win the Superbowl. Just like the LA Rams were never going to lose in LA with all the Celebrities around. now look at 'em

It used to be, I don't know for sure? up until 1990? In order to be eligible for MNF this season. You had to have a winning season the year before. Or at least be .500 I do believe.

It doesn’t help when Denver, Indianapolis, Green Bay, Tampa Bay, Las Vegas, Arizona, LA Rams, etc have been awful to disappointing when they all looked good coming into the season.
