After every Thursday night game throughout the year, Amazon typically sends an email with viewing figures. After the final game of the year on Thursday night – a 6-3 score between the Seahawks and Bears – no press release was sent out.
This made it seem like the numbers reflected the quality of the game. However, given the quality of the game, the ratings did not.
Via SportsMediaWatch.com, 11.04 million listens for the Week 17 contest. That beat the 2023 game between the Jets and Browns by seven percent and the 2022 game between the Cowboys and Titans by 13 percent.
This is still the second lowest audience of the year for TNF, ahead of only Broncos-Saints in October.
Prime Video will broadcast one of the wild games. The goal will surely be to break the streaming records set by Ravens-Texans (24.3 million) and Chiefs-Steelers (24.1 million) by Netflix games on Christmas Day.
Ultimately, it all comes down to the quality of the match. The better the game the NFL delivers to Prime Video, the more likely it is that a new high-water mark will be set.
