MNF reached 124 million fans, lifted its audience in every key demo by double-digits, and aired four games whose viewership surpassed all previous MNF games.
If most opportunities to watch the NFL in primetime are regarded as miserable, is there really no way to beat the league in the ratings or has no one actually tried?
The 29.021 million viewership figure is the largest average audience for a "Monday Night Football" broadcast since the Green Bay Packers faced the Dallas Cowboys in November 1996.
Borrell Associates projects that figure will climb considerably over the next four years as the industry undergoes what it describes as a "great reshuffling."
