Giants-Cowboys on Thanksgiving becomes most-watched regular-season game on TV
FOX is in the middle of pushing the World Cup as hard as it can.
However, it’s unlikely futbol will provide the network with the bragging rights football offered on Thanksgiving.
The New York Giants’ loss to the Dallas Cowboys was far from a slobberknocker.
Doesn’t matter when you put America’s Team on the holiday schedule in a game against an NFC East rival.
There were 42 million people tuned into Dallas’ 28-20 victory, making it the most-watched regular season NFL game in TV history, according to FOX Sports.
Thursday’s game topped the long-time record-holder, a Monday Night Football clash between the Giants and San Francisco 49ers, on December. 3, 1990.
Amazing ratings for the #Cowboys–#Giants game on Thanksgiving.
