The highly anticipated Super Bowl rematch between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs is set to take place this Sunday, and all eyes are on Arrowhead Stadium. But the question on everyone's mind is: Could this game be the most-watched September NFL game in history?
Fox is projecting around 30 million viewers for the Eagles-Chiefs clash, scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET. This would be a record Week 2 performance since 1988, surpassing last year's Bengals vs. Chiefs game which drew 27.87 million viewers. The current September record is held by a 1993 Dallas-Washington "Monday Night Football" game, watched by 31.1 million.
Several factors contribute to the potential for record-breaking viewership. Firstly, it's a Super Bowl rematch, always a draw for fans. Secondly, the game is strategically positioned with limited competition from other networks. CBS is featuring games in smaller media markets, giving Fox a significant advantage.
Adding fuel to the fire, DraftKings Sportsbook highlights intriguing anytime touchdown props, with Jalen Hurts at -115 and Patrick Mahomes at +450. Hurts' consistent performance near the goal line makes him a favorite, while Mahomes always carries the potential for a game-changing play.
For those wanting to catch the game, it will be broadcast on FOX. Pregame coverage can be found on the Chiefs' official YouTube page. Additionally, NFL+ offers on-demand access to live games and replays. Local fans can tune into 96.5 The Fan for radio coverage.
