Patriots-Jets draws 13.37 million viewers despite lopsided score

The first two Thursday Evening Football games were not attractive. The viewing figures, against the background, were.

The Jets’ 24-3 win over the Patriots on Thursday still drew an average of 13.37 million viewers on Amazon Prime.

Over the course of two weeks, TNF on Prime attracted an average audience of 14.17 million viewers, up 20 percent from last year’s average of 11.86 million.

Next week’s matchup may not be any better, with the Cowboys visiting the Giants. But hey, it’s America’s Team in America’s biggest market.

Whatever the outcome, the transition to streaming has been made. People either find the games or they don’t.

If they’re not watching NFL football while there’s a game on TV, what else are they doing?
