According to NBC Sports, the Kansas City Chiefs-New York Jets game was the most-watched Sunday TV show since the Super Bowl, with nearly 27 million viewers. The “Sunday Night Football” audience peaked at 29.2 million viewers in the second quarter of the game. Kansas City won the game with a score of 23-20.
Compared to the average of the first three weeks of “Sunday Night Football,” the game saw significant demographic gains among girls aged 12 to 17 (53%), women aged 18 to 24 (24%), and women over 35 (34%). Sunday’s game drew an average of 24.83 million viewers, not including streaming platforms like Peacock.
The presence of pop star Taylor Swift at the game attracted national attention. Swift is a friend and possible romantic interest of Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce. NBC Sports said it has aired the two most-watched football games of the season, with the Chiefs-Jets game nearly matching the average viewership of 26.8 million for the Detroit Lions vs. Kansas City game on September 7.
Mike Tirico, who called the game, acknowledged Swift’s presence during the broadcast, striking a balance between mentioning her and not overdoing it. Even gamblers got in on the action, placing bets on Kelce’s performance, making those bets the most popular “prop” bets of the weekend.
The Chiefs will play the Minnesota Vikings next, but the game will not be nationally televised. CBS viewers will have to choose between the Chiefs-Vikings and Broncos-Jets games.
