It was the most watched regular season NFL game in 14 years! This is something that NBC desperately needed!
More than 27 million people watched Thursday's game. This proves that, yes, we are hungry for some football! Hungry for it and willing to watch it rather than Summer re-runs on the other networks. The game featured the Superbowl Champion Saints in a rematch of their overtime conference championship winning game over Minnesota.
This should be an exciting season, unless, of course, you live in Pittsburgh!
