Patriots-Jets game attracts big crowd despite lopsided score
Despite a convincing 24-3 win by the Jets over the Patriots on Thursday night, the game still managed to attract a large audience. According to NBC Sports, the game generated 13.37 million viewers, making it one of the most-watched games in recent history.
The first two Thursday Night Football games have not been particularly compelling, but the viewership numbers have been impressive. The previous week’s game between the Dolphins and the Giants drew an audience of 12.34 million viewers, and this week’s game between the Patriots and the Jets was able to top that number despite a relatively lopsided outcome.
The Jets’ dominant performance may have been expected by some, given their strong regular season record, but the Patriots were thought to be a more competitive team going into the matchup. However, they were unable to keep up with the Jets’ offense and ultimately fell well short of their opponents.
Despite the lackluster gameplay, fans tuned in to watch the game, likely drawn by the opportunity to see the Jets continue their winning ways and secure their spot in the playoffs. With a strong regular season record and a talented roster, the Jets are looking like a formidable opponent for any team they face.
The Patriots, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back from this tough loss and get their season back on track. They have a difficult schedule ahead of them, with several tough matchups in the coming weeks. However, with a strong defense and some key players stepping up, they may be able to turn things around and make a push for the playoffs.
Overall, while the game itself was not particularly exciting, the viewership numbers were impressive, and fans will be eager to see what other competitive games are in store for Thursday Night Football in the coming weeks.
