Lions vs Cowboys Breaks Prime Video Record Despite Falling Short of 20 Million Viewers
The recent matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions on Prime Video generated significant viewership. Although it did not reach the coveted milestone of 20 million viewers, it still set a remarkable record for streaming on Thursday nights.
Lions vs Cowboys: A Record-Breaking Night
The game attracted an average of 19.39 million viewers. This figure marks the highest recorded audience for Thursday night streaming on Prime Video to date. Despite the excitement surrounding the event, it fell just short of crossing the 20 million threshold.
Significance of the Matchup
- The Dallas Cowboys are a historically popular team.
- The Detroit Lions have gained traction as a national favorite over recent seasons.
As the Lions continue to perform well, they have become a draw for fans and viewership alike. The anticipation for this game was fueled by their momentum.
Future Opportunities for Record-Setting Viewership
The next significant opportunity for a viewership record will occur in nine days. On this occasion, the 10-3 Seattle Seahawks will host the 10-3 Los Angeles Rams. This matchup could have significant implications for the NFC West title and the number one seed in the conference.
Current Streaming Records
The existing record for prime video streaming stands at 24.3 million viewers, achieved during the Ravens vs. Texans game on Christmas 2024. Looking ahead to December 25 this year, two key matchups are scheduled:
- Cowboys vs. Commanders
- Lions vs. Vikings
However, with the currently fading performance of the Chiefs, the Christmas night game featuring the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs may struggle to break existing viewership records.
In conclusion, while the Cowboys vs. Lions game did not achieve the 20 million viewer mark, it still highlighted the growing popularity of both teams and set a new bar for Thursday night streaming on Prime Video.
