Despite the objectively unappealing uniforms worn by the home team, 25.5 million tuned in, on average, to watch Sunday night\u2019s game between the Packers and the Steelers.<\/p>\n
It was the fifth NBC game this season to pass the 25 million-viewer threshold, the most through eight weeks in any season for Sunday Night Football. It also passed last year\u2019s Cowboys-49ers contest (23.9 million) as the most-watched Week Eight Sunday night game.<\/p>\n
For the year, Sunday Night Football is averaging 24.7 million. That\u2019s the highest average through Week 8 in the 20-year history of the franchise.<\/p>\n
Of that amount, 2.8 million are watching on Peacock and other digital platforms.<\/p>\n
This week, the 3-5 Commanders host the 5-2 Seahawks on NBC and Peacock. After that, it\u2019s Steelers-Chargers and Lions-Eagles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite the objectively unappealing uniforms worn by the home team, 25.5 million tuned in, on average, to watch…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":258465,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-258464","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258464"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258464\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
