The exciting Detroit Lions victory over the Dallas Cowboys this past week drew the highest number of viewers since Prime Video began hosting “Thursday Night Football.”
The matchup drew a record-setting
19.39 million viewers—the highest since Prime Video took over TNF in 2022. To put that in perspective, the average Thursday night game draws 15.2 million viewers.
Thursday’s audience broke the previous record set by NFC North rival the Green Bay Packer against the Washington Commanders this past September—17.76 million viewers watched that game.
Per Awfulannouncing.com, Prime Video has upped its audience each year, starting at an average 9.58 million viewers its rookie season in 2022. A week earlier, Prime Video also broke its Black Friday viewership record with an average of 16.33 million viewers for the Chicago Bears-Philadelphia Eagles game. Additionally, the Lions broke Thanksgiving Day viewership records against the Green Bay Packers.
