The two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs have had two very tough battles in their first two weeks of the regular season. They won both games, including this past weekend’s thrilling 26-25 victory over the Cincinatti Bengals. That game became the most-watched NFL on CBS September game since 1998 with 27.9 million people tuning in.
The game was up 8% over the week 2 game for CBS last season. CBS says the numbers make the game the most watched telecast on a single network since Super Bowl LVIII.
Through the first two weeks of the season, CBS is averaging 19.86 million viewers, its best start since the NFL returned to the network in 1998. This represents a 5% increase from the previous season.
Additionally, Paramount+ had its most-streamed NFL on CBS regular season day in its history and the Bengals-Chiefs game is now the services most-streamed NFL regular season game of all time.
