The Cowboys had three appearances in top-10 most-viewed telecasts of 2023

NFL football games were featured in every one of the top 10 most-watched telecasts from 2023.

The Dallas Cowboys were in three of those top ten games,

and Kansas City Chiefs happens to be the only other team with that many appearances.

Dallas’ achievement is further enhanced by the fact that two of the three Chiefs games

were the Super Bowl and the AFC Championship,

which no matter who is playing, attract a lot of attention.

The three games the Cowboys played were on Thanksgiving

against the Washington Commanders (5th, 41.9 million),

Christmas Eve, against the Miami Dolphins (10th, 31.5 million),

and their divisional round showdown against the San Francisco 49ers (4th most, 45.9 million).

The Cowboys’ Thanksgiving game in 2023 against the New York Giants

is the second most viewed game in Thanksgiving history,

only surpassed by that game in 2022 (42.06 million).

In NFL history, it’s also the third-most-watched regular season game.

The only two Monday Night Football games with higher average ratings

were the Giants vs. 49ers game in 1990 and the Thanksgiving game in 2022, according to CBS Sports PR.

Additionally, Dallas is home to two of the top five games this regular season in terms of viewership.

Thanksgiving is the first game, and Christmas Eve is the third for the Cowboys.

The second Thanksgiving game (33.7 million) pits the Buffalo Bills against the Green Bay Packers.

Week 12’s Philadelphia Eagles game is ranked fourth (30.9 million),

while Christmas Day’s Chiefs vs. Las Vegas Raiders game is ranked fifth (29.48 million).

Sportsmediawatch.com reports that Dallas and Kansas City

are also tied for the most occasions with the highest-viewed game of the week this season.

Each has performed this seven times.
