Eagles 21-17 win over Chiefs in Week 11 was most-watched MNF Game Since 1996

The Eagles are a gold-standard franchise in the NFL, and the Chiefs have played in three of the past four Super Bowls, winning two.

The growing rivalry has become big business for the NFL, and their latest matchup shattered viewing records for the Monday Night Football platform.

Philadelphia defeated Kansas City 21-17 in a thrilling Monday night showdown that was a box-office success for the NFL on ESPN/ABC and Disney.

According to ESPN’s Press Room, the Eagles’ win over the Chiefs in Week 11 attracted over 29 million viewers (ESPN, ABC, ESPN2, ESPN+, ESPN Deportes, and NFL+).

The viewing audience of 29,021,000 viewers is the television franchise’s best – and The Walt Disney Company’s best – since the Packers and Cowboys linked up in 1996, when 31.5 million watched.

It was a massive win for Philadelphia, and the Eagles were again a part of the most-watched football game since their Super Bowl LVII loss to Kansas City.
