2022 NFL Week 6 Ratings Report

  • Thursday Night (Amazon:  Bears-Commanders...  zzzzzzzzzzzzzz....):  4.3 rating, not quite 8.8 million viewers.  None of that should be a surprise whatsoever!!
  • 7.6 million Amazon viewers should get their money back for a month of Prime, claiming torture.
  • Sunday National (Bills-Chiefs Game of the Year, CBS):  On the other end of the spectrum, basically matching up the two main Super Bowl AFC contenders gets about three times that many viewers:  13.2 rating, 25.41 million viewers.  Largest Week 6 NFL audience since Dallas vs. Green Bay at 28 million in 2016.  And the largest CBS Week 6 audience since since over 29 million watched Cowboys-Patriots in 2007!  Up about 6-7% year over year in both measures.
  • Third most-watched game of the year so far, all in the National (Late) window.
  • Sunday Night Football (NBC:  Cowboys-Eagles):  11.0 rating, 20.79 million on television and another million and a half streaming.
  • Highest TV audience for Week 6 for NBC since 2018 -- add the streaming numbers, and you have to go back to 2015.
  • 60%, give or take a tick, of all TV sets on in both the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area and the Philadelphia metro area had the game on.
  • Eighth most-watched game of the year.
  • Sunday Single (FOX:  Jets-Packers in about half the country (I'm sorry!)):  8.6 rating, 16.37 million viewers.
  • Sunday Early (CBS:  Mostly Ravens-Giants):  7.25 rating, 13.45 million.
  • Both early windows scored modest gains, probably on interest of the New York teams doing so well to start the season.
