Vikings-Rams draws 12.6 million for Thursday Night Football

The Rams’ upset victory over the Vikings was a winner for Amazon Prime.

Thursday night’s 30-20 LA win averaged 12.6 million viewers. It’s an 11 percent increase from Week 8’s Thursday night game between the Buccaneers and Bills.

For the season, Thursday Night Football is averaging 13.22 million viewers.

That’s good news for the NFL’s move to streaming, just three days after a disastrous ESPN+ Monday night game between the Chargers and Cardinals.

While Thursday night games on Prime still have a long way to go to catch the numbers they generated on TV broadcasts, they are getting there. Over time, perhaps the numbers will be comparable.

The Jets return to prime time (again) next Thursday, with a visit from the Texans.
