Get ready for a football frenzy! Fox is projecting a staggering 30 million viewers for the highly anticipated rematch between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs, a clash of Super Bowl LVII titans. This Sunday's game marks the teams' regular season debuts, following their week one weekday games, promising a captivating showdown for football fans. If this projection holds true, it would shatter records for a Week 2 NFL game, surpassing the previous high of 27.87 million viewers for a Bengals-Chiefs matchup in 1988. The only September game to draw a larger audience was the 1993 Dallas-Washington Monday Night Football game, which attracted 31.1 million viewers. This year's projected viewership is further boosted by Nielsen's expanded measurement process, incorporating out-of-home viewing data and leading to higher overall numbers. While reaching 30 million viewers would be an impressive feat, the possibility of surpassing even that number remains very much in play. This highly anticipated matchup promises to be a major television event, capturing the attention of millions of fans across the nation.
