2022 NFL Week 2 Ratings Report

Forgot to do this -- Sports Media Watch is the usual main source.  Week 2 went like this for the ratings:

11.8 million people on Amazon Prime saw the first Prime-exclusive (yes, the game does go over the air to the local markets) Thursday Night Football clash.  That's a lot of subscribers, and gives good indication as to the future of pay-to-view television, where you must have a subscription to get the shows you REALLY WANT.

Monday Night Football's split doubleheader drew almost 21 million people -- the bulk of them to Vikings-Eagles (almost 13 million), with just short of 8 million for Titans-Bills.  That's an interesting dichotomy, especially given what, until this week, seemed the reality in the AFC!!    

Sunday National (CBS):  Cowboys-Bengals and an overtime Raiders-Cardinals aided in the biggest Week 2 National window in over 20 years:  14.1 rating, 27.4 million viewers.  Highest non-Thanksgiving regular-season window since Week 14 2019 with Chiefs-Patriots.

Sunday Regional (CBS):  Patriots-Steelers led 7.4 rating and a 14.1 million viewer take, down a couple ticks in both respects from last year.  CBS is having the most-watched NFL season through two weeks it has had in over a decade.

Sunday Night:  Bears-Packers was down the same couple of ticks from last year, 10.6 rating, 19.55 million viewers.

Sunday Single (FOX):  The big loser of the week -- as Bucs-Saints led only to 8.6 rating and 16.23 million viewers.  Down a full ratings point and 2 1/4 million viewers from last year.
