The Patrick Mahomes effect is real when it comes to television ratings, per NBC Sports.
The Kansas City Chiefs-New England Patriots Sunday Night Football game delivered NBC’s highest viewership of the season with a total average delivery of 21.5 million viewers across NBC TV, NBC Sports Digital and NFL Digital Platforms, the network says.
That number is an increase of 32 percent from last year’s Week 6 Sunday Night Football game between the New York Giants and Denver Broncos.
