Eagles-Commanders game draws an average of 19 million viewers
An average of 19.015 million people watched the Eagles play the Commanders on Sunday night.
The game was broadcast on a network, and the figure is based on Nielsen’s audience measurement.
The Eagles entered with a 2-5 record, while the Commanders were 1-4-1.
The game was widely described as unexciting, especially after a close Chiefs-Broncos game earlier that day.
The league could have moved the matchup out of the evening slot but chose to keep it there.
A lack of an early game in Week 8 meant viewers were not facing 14 straight hours of football.
Despite the weak records and dull play, the audience topped 19 million.
