The Eagles and Patriots don’t meet that often, but a rematch of Super Bowl 52 seemed to be the recipe for delivering the NFL’s highest ratings of the season.
The Eagles Sunday afternoon matchup with the Patriots was the highest rated NFL game of the season and the highest-rated Week 11 game since 2015.
Here are some more numbers courtesy of Sports Media Watch:
— Just the fifth NFL regular season window to crack a 14.0 rating in the past three seasons (49 did in the previous three)
— NFL on CBS NFL national window (Patriots-Eagles in 93% of markets) averaged a 14.0 rating and 24.89 million viewers on CBS, marking the highest-rated of the NFL season. The previous high was a 13.8 for Packers-Cowboys on FOX in Week 5.
The ball game was just the fifth regular-season NFL telecast in the past three seasons to average at least a 14.0 rating, compared to 49 in the previous three.
