Cowboys-Giants reach 38.5 million viewers

While you ate one turkey, the NFL baked all the bread.

The NFL’s Thanksgiving dinner window provided a major contribution to the league, as the Giants vs. Cowboys game delivered the most-watched telecast of the 2024 season with 38.5 million viewers and the fourth-highest ratings of any Turkey Day game ever . Broadcast peaked at 41.283 million between 6:00 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. ET.

People couldn’t get enough of Drew Lock and Cooper Rush clashing in Dallas.

That’s no surprise, as the Cowboys are a big draw, good or bad, while the Giants come from the largest media market in the country.

Regardless, there has been a lot of quality football played at times this season, with some big primetime clashes. Fox Sports predicted the Thanksgiving broadcast would be the most-watched telecast across all networks since Super Bowl 58, and the numbers were up 14% compared to last year’s game between the Cowboys and Commanders.

In a game between two bad teams in Dallas, the Giants stayed close most of the night. The Packers capped it off with a commanding victory over the Dolphins on a cold, snowy night at Lambeau Field.
