LOS ANGELES -- Amazon Prime Video's first regular-season game as the exclusive home of "Thursday Night Football" was a big hit.
Kansas City's 27-24 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers last Thursday averaged 15.3 million viewers across all platforms according to Nielsen and Amazon's first party measurement.
Prime Video vice president Jay Marine said in a note to staff earlier this week that "our measurement shows that the audience numbers exceeded all of our expectations for viewership."
The game averaged 13.0 million using only Nielsen's ratings. That is a 47% increase from last year's Week 2 game between Washington and the New York Giants, which averaged 8.
