Now that football season has returned, so has the season of tracking the sizes of the TV audiences for football games.
The first of 283 games that count in the 2026 season — a Super Bowl LX rematch between the Patriots and Seahawks — averaged 25.1 million viewers.
The good news is that the season-opening game has exceeded 25 million viewers for four straight years, matching the same run from 2013 through 2016. The bad news is that, via Manny Soloway of Awful Announcing, the number fell 12 percent from last year's 28.3 million who watched the Eagles host the Cowboys, and it was the lowest since 2022.
It's fair to wonder whether the dip had anything to do with the season starting on a Wednesday. The last Wednesday night Week 1 kickoff game happened in 2012, with the Cowboys-Giants game generating 23.9 million viewers. In contrast, the Thursday night opener the prior year, between the Saints and Packers, drew 27.2 million.
That's odd, to say the least. The Cowboys were (and still are) the Cowboys. And the Giants — in the nation's top media market — had just won the Super Bowl. It's lower number than would have been expected, and it could have had something to do with Wednesday vs. Thursday.

The New York Giants are adding former Dallas Cowboys running back Phil Mafah to the practice squad, the team announced Monday.
Following the incredible upset win over the Cowboys to begin the season, the Giants add some depth to the running back room behind Cam Skattebo.
A former seventh-round pick with the Cowboys during the 2025 NFL draft, Mafah has only appeared in one career game since entering the league. He has five carries for 18 rushing yards and a touchdown while adding two receptions on two targets for 11 receiving yards.
The Giants aren't planning to make any major changes to the running back room. While Skattebo will lead the way, there was a clear rotation with Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr in the backfield. Najee Harris was a healthy scratch in Week 1.
In other roster news, the Giants waived wide receiver Dalen Cambre from the roster.

Cowboys rumors: ****** yst ponders Jerry Jones making Maxx Crosby trade after disappointing Week 1 opener appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
As the Dallas Cowboys hype has died down after the Week 1 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday night, 28-20, there is still a whole season for the team to reach the aspirations it's gunning for in 2026. After the Cowboys' Week 1 debacle against the Giants, one NFL ****** yst speculates what the team could look to do regarding additions, mentioning star Maxx Crosby of the Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaking on CBS Sports, Pete Prisco spoke about the issues Dallas had in the loss to New York, as the defense was a letdown, as it was many times last season. He mentioned how Jerry Jones has teased a big splash move, with one that makes sense being Crosby, a pass-rusher that could immediately impact the Cowboys.
"As bad as they played at times, they got it within one score," Prisco said. "You got to get off the field, and that goes to my next part of this. Jerry Jones hinted last week on a radio show that they're not done, that they might make a big splash move, and so what would be the splash move before the trade deadline?"

When the New York Giants signed former Baltimore Ravens backup tight end Isiah Likely to a three-year, $40 million contract in the early hours of free agency this past March, many were curious.
Why him, and why the hurry?
On Sunday night, in the Giants' 28-20 opening-night win over the Dallas Cowboys to start the John Harbaugh era, the nation saw exactly why the Giants targeted Likely.
"Yeah, I kind of was," Harbaugh said after the game when asked if he felt Likely would have such a huge impact so early in the season. "I mean, we paid him a lot. That's what we paid him for and he did it.
"And even after he put the ball on the ground, which I was not happy about, he knows he's going to get that video about three o'clock in the morning this morning with a comment. But he said, he goes, 'You can trust me.' He said, 'You can trust me.' And Skatt said the same thing. He said, 'You can trust me.' And I do trust him."

The John Harbaugh era got off to a rousing start last night with the New York Giants defeating the division rival Dallas Cowboys 28-20 at a raucous MetLife Stadium. (When was the last time "raucous" and "MetLife" appeared in the same sentence about a Giants game?) Let's see what the **** ysts at Pro Football Focus thought of the individual player performances.
Focusing first on the passing, Jaxson Dart's 23 of 29, 230-yard, 3 TD, 0 INT performance was given a grade of…65.8, smack in the middle of their "average" range. I'm sure fans will take Dart's highly efficient game, as evidenced by his excellent 134.2 NFL passer rating last night, every week. PFF, though, grades on degree of difficulty and taking care of the ball. Dart didn't have any interceptions, but in PFF's eyes he had two turnover-worthy plays, which they see as being just as bad. He also did not have any "big-time," throws, i.e., **** placed accurately into tight windows and especially those that go deep downfield for explosive plays. Dart only threw three **** beyond 20 yards and only completed one. To quote Seinfeld, "Not that there's anything wrong with that," but that's what PFF values. Dart did what he had to do to win the game. In the long run, he'll have to show that he can hurt opposing defenses deep on a consistent basis, but for one game the short-range passing game was just fine.
Let's look at the effect of pressure:
Dart was an amazing 19 of 22 when kept clean, including all three of his TD passes. When pressured he was 4 of 7 for 57 yards, but both of his TWPs came under pressure.
Moving on to the pass blocking:

Cowboys news: Dallas praying Malik Hooker's injury isn't as bad as it could be after Week 1 debacle appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
On Sunday evening, the Dallas Cowboys kicked off their season with an ugly 28-20 road loss to the New York Giants. The Cowboys' new-look defense, which had received considerable hype from fans and pundits alike heading into this year, fell flat on its face in this one, finding itself unable to get off the field in the second half against New York.
Things went from bad to worse when Malik Hooker went down with an injury, and on Monday, the team got the latest update on his potential recovery process.
"#Cowboys S Malik Hooker fractured a bone in his forearm and he's consulting with a hand specialist to learn his recovery time, sources say. While some breaks can mean a player is out six weeks, the hope is based on the specific bone and break, it's quicker than that," reported NFL insider Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network on X, formerly Twitter.

Rookies from across the NFL made their debuts in Week 1 of the regular season. One Houston Texans legend, made his debut in a very different lead role.
J.J. Watt, who finished No. 1 in Chron's Top 25 Texans Ranking and current CBS Sports ******* yst, took the No. 1 color commentator role alongside CBS play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz for Sunday's tilt between the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers. Watt replaced Tony Romo, of Dallas Cowboys fame, in the top spot after the former quarterback went on indefinite leave following his arrest on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated in Wisconsin earlier this summer.
Nantz warmly welcomed Watt to the broadcast during the CBS pregame show "NFL Today," and studio host James Brown was collegial in acknowledging the new duo.
"Jim Nantz and J.J. Watt … that rolls right off your tongue," Brown said. "What do you have?"
Nantz, a legendary University of Houston alum, replied with his classic, "Hello, friend," and began pontificating about the Texans-Bills matchup before turning to his left towards Watt and stating he was excited about "being with this guy."

By the time Lincoln Financial Field's clock struck 0:00 late Sunday afternoon and the Eagles had survived a 24-22 Week 1 win over the Washington Commanders, a palpable sense of relief could be felt by the fanbase.
For the sixth straight time under Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts, the Eagles won their opening game. It is the longest active streak in the NFL and it is always better to start 1-0 than 0-1.
Just ask the Dallas Cowboys.
While the Eagles' defense looked absolutely gassed by the end of it, they managed one last goal-line, two-point conversion stand, and spent the better part of the first three quarters limiting Jayden Daniels and the Washington offense for most of the afternoon.
It was reminiscent of a season ago, when the defense carried an offense that had trouble maintaining consistency.

Hope season for the New York Giants lasted longer than most teams this year, and so too did the questions that hung over their offseason.
With the second-to-last kick-off of opening weekend, Giants fans had to wait, and wait… and wait to find out what their team would look like in 2026. Likewise, they also had to wait until the last minute to find out whether star receiver Malik Nabers would even play against the Dallas Cowboys.
Nabers' status remained unclear even into Sunday afternoon, and reports eventually emerged that Nabers would be a true game-time decision.
Even Nabers himself wasn't sure if he'd be ready to go against the Cowboys. He even told his family to not come to the game, in case he wouldn't be able to play.
"I really didn't know; my family didn't even come to this game because it's a one-on-one battle that you have go through. You have to do it for yourself," he said after the game. "I didn't want everybody here, I didn't want my family here and I feel like I let them down by not playing, so I had to do it for myself first. I had to go out there, feel it out, feel like I was doing it and I felt good."

"This work is personal," she continued. "As a single mom of three boys, I know what hypervigilance, burnout, and carrying the mental load do to connection — and I believe joy, closeness, and aliveness in your body aren't luxuries. They're capacities we can design, develop, and expand.
Alongside the caption, Diallo shared a video slideshow of herself in her graduation cap and gown, holding a desk nameplate that read, "Certified ******* Coach."

Some plays don't show up in the box score.
Yet if it wasn't for a tackle from John Harbaugh, Malik Nabers' name might not be in the box score at all. The New York Giants star receiver had been on the fence about playing all week long, hesitant to step onto the MetLife Stadium field – the same field where he suffered a torn ACL last season.
Nabers figures to be a key piece to the Giants' offense, but he needed some reassurance before giving it a go on "Sunday Night Football" against the rival Dallas Cowboys in Week 1. And that reassurance came in the form of a tackle from his new head coach during walkthroughs, quarterback Jaxson Dart shared after the game.
"Things were just up-in-the-air, we didn't know exactly what was gonna happen," Dart said, "Me and Coach Harbs kinda had some conversations and he's like, 'You know what? I think that once he gets hit for the first time and realizes that he's OK, he's gonna feel confident.'"
Dart said that in Harbaugh's mind, that meant the coach had to tackle his star receiver.

NEW YORK (AP) — Oprah Winfrey stood alone at the Sphere, attempting to comprehend what she had witnessed after U2's opening night performance in 2023. Mesmerized by the multisensory event, the Queen of All Media had a thought: Could she use the groundbreaking, 4D capabilities of the globe-shaped arena to help others reach their highest potential?
"You could use this technology as a visual, immersive experience to allow people to go deeper for themselves and walk away with a sense of awe and wonder about what it means to be alive," the media mogul, whose empire was built largely by inspiring viewers of "The Oprah Winfrey Show," told The ****** ociated Press. "I know that there's more, and the more could really help people see themselves differently. It has the potential to be an incredible experience of magnificent wonder."
That initial thought became "Oprah Winfrey's AHA," taking place April 2-4 at the Sphere, the $2.3 billion state-of-the-art Las Vegas arena that has hosted performances by The Backstreet Boys, Phish, the Eagles and No Doubt — and a popular "The Wizard of Oz" film experience.
The two-hour live event will feature Winfrey with special guests and performances, including multiple Grammy winner Jacob Collier, poet and author Ocean Vuong, musician Ajeet and gospel singer Wintley Phipps. Among all-star collaborators crafting the experience with Winfrey are Oscar-nominated composer Max Richter, Grammy-nominated musicians Jason White and Jon Hopkins, playwright and MacArthur "genius grant" recipient Tarell Alvin McCraney and Es Devlin, the stage designer for Beyoncé's "Formation" and "Renaissance" world tours. Tickets go on sale to the general public Sept. 25.
It's been 15 years since Winfrey ended her iconic talk show, which last week celebrated its 40th anniversary of reaching U.S. syndication. She has stayed busy with her podcast, her CEO duties for her namesake OWN TV network, and various tours and live events. At 72, when many are embracing retirement, Winfrey isn't ready to slow down completely.

Oklahoma State quarterback Drew Mestemaker officially introduced himself to the grander college football world as a budding superstar on Saturday in his team's upset home win over No. 6 Oregon.
Taking down the Ducks is no small feat, particularly for an unranked program like the Cowboys. However, Mestemaker's heroics and stellar stat line (317 passing yards, two touchdowns; 109 rushing yards, one touchdown) buffeted a Cowboys offense that scored 39 on Oregon's vaunted defense.
One touchdown saw Mestemaker quite literally take air and fly into the end zone, which feels like the defining moment of his college football career so far. It's a majestic play; no wonder the NFL may be keen on this guy.
This is the statement play every breakout game demands; what an afternoon in Stillwater for Mestemaker.

Early big-time college football matchups are all the rage, and the Philadelphia Eagles will have representatives in Austin for one of the most talent-rich games on the early college football schedule.
Philadelphia is among 16 NFL organizations expected to have scouts present when No. 1 Ohio State visits No. 4 Texas on Saturday night at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. The game will begin at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC. The Eagles will join the Cowboys, Seahawks, 49ers, Broncos, Colts, Patriots, Panthers, Lions, Chargers, Texans, Ravens, Rams, Dolphins, Jets and Browns in evaluating two rosters loaded with potential NFL talent.
Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith is expected to become one of the most coveted prospects in the 2027 draft. His matchup against Texas' secondary will give evaluators another opportunity to study his releases, route running, and ability to produce against top competition.
The following NFL teams will have reps present at Ohio State - Texas tonight:

• Eagles
• Cowboys
• Seahawks
• 49ers
• Broncos
• Colts
• Patriots
• Panthers
• Lions
• Chargers
• Texans
• Ravens
• Rams
• Dolphins
• Jets
• Browns
Buckeyes quarterback Julian Sayin and Texas quarterback Arch Manning will receive plenty of attention, even from organizations without an immediate need at the position. Comprehensive quarterback evaluations remain valuable because their eventual landing spots can influence the entire draft board. Texas edge defender Colin Simmons is another prospect capable of commanding the attention of Philadelphia's personnel department. His ability to pressure the quarterback and defend the run fits the athletic profile the Eagles have consistently valued along the defensive front.
