"Monday Night Football" Helps ESPN Win the Night among All Networks

ESPN's Monday Night Football game - a Green Bay Packers' 38-28 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs - helped ESPN win the night among all networks - broadcast or cable - in households, viewers and all key male and adult demos. The game was also the highest-rated program of the night in all key male and adult demos (18-34, 18-49 and 25-54).

The game averaged an 8.3 US household rating and 13,514,000 viewers (P2+), according to Nielsen. The telecast peaked from 9:30-9:45 p.m. ET with a 10.4 rating and 17,052,000 viewers.

In Kansas City, the game delivered a 10.6 rating on ESPN and a 19.4 on KMBC-ABC, for a combined 30.0 rating in the market. In Milwaukee, the game delivered a 13.1 rating on ESPN and a 34.5 on WISN-ABC, for a combined 47.6 rating in the market.

The top 10 metered markets (not including those of the competing teams): Las Vegas (15.1), Denver (14.4), San Diego (13.3), New Orleans (13.1), West Palm Beach (11.7), Raleigh-Durham (11.7), Norfolk (11.4), Jacksonville (11.2), Phoenix (11.1), and (tied) Albuquerque, Seattle and Sacramento (10.8).

The Chiefs-Packers game also logged the 3rd highest audience ever for MNF on WatchESPN - behind the Week 1 Vikings-49ers (230,000) and Eagles-Falcons (215,000) games - with an average minute audience of 205,000, up 65 percent compared to last year's Week 3 MNF game. It also had 651,000 unique viewers watching 46,017,000 live minutes - up 77 percent and 76 percent, respectively, and the most total minutes viewed ever for a MNF game on WatchESPN.

This Week on MNF: Detroit Lions vs. Russell Wilson and NFC Champion Seahawks in Seattle

This week, ESPN's MNF returns with Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions traveling to Seattle to face Russell Wilson and the two-time NFC champion Seahawks at CenturyLink Field at 8:15 p.m. ET (kickoff at 8:30 p.m.).
