ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – When the Broncos knocked off the undefeated Chiefs Sunday night in primetime there were 77,076 people watching at Sports Authority Field at Mile High and 26.9 million people were watching on television making it the most watched television show of the weekend.
That television audience also made the Broncos-Chiefs game the most-watched primetime show of the fall TV season. The San Francisco-New Orleans game came in second place in the ratings this weekend.
Since Labor Day, NFL games rank as the 22 most-watched TV shows – occupying 17 more spots on that list than they did at this time last season. Of those 22 games, eight of them are Broncos games and four of the top five most-watched NFL games this season are Broncos' games.
