The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys are two of the most popular franchises in the NFL, so it is no surprise that they were scheduled for a Sunday Night Football game on NBC. The weather delay of nearly an hour and a half threatened what could have been record viewership, but they still managed a very impressive 20.3 million viewers, per NBC Sports PR on X.
This is a record for Sunday Night Football with six-straight broadcasts going over 20 million viewers.
That number likely would have been a little higher if it wasn’t for the delay.
