- With an audience of 16,618,000 viewers, Monday Night Football was up 32% from last season’s MNF Week 4 game (Rams-49ers) and is the best MNF week 4 game in 14 years (2009).
- And that came in a one-sided matchup that saw the Seattle Seahawks repeatedly sack New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones en route to a 24-3 victory
- The audience peaked at 19.7 million viewers late in the first half (9:30 – 9:45 p.m. ET).
