Bills-Cowboys Game Most-Watched Week 15 NFL Matchup
By Movieguide® Contributor
Fox scored record views this past week for the Buffalo Bills and Dallas Cowboys match-up.
The total number of views soared to 26.3 million which was an increase of 23% over 2022’s week 15.
Additionally, the Bills-Cowboys game had over 10 million more views than the previous second-most watched game against the Chiefs-Patriots.
According to Deadline, “Fox eked out the win over the third-place finisher, NBC’s SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL with the Ravens victory over the Jaguars, which managed 16.3M viewers. CBS’ single header took fourth place and more than 14M viewers. Week 15 also included a special Saturday triple header on the NFL Network. Of the three games, the Steelers-Colts matchup took the cake with 9.79M viewers, which is down from last year’s comparable triple header when the most-watched game topped 11M viewers.”
The Buffalo Bills cruised passed the Dallas Cowboys in a dominating 31-10 victory.
“The Bills’ standout on Sunday was running back James Cook. The second-year, second-round pick totaled a career-high 179 rushing yards on 25 carries with a touchdown, a 24-yarder. That comes out to a 7.2 yards per carry average. Cook also tallied 42 yards receiving on two catches, including an 18-yard receiving score in the second quarter. That performance makes Cook the first Bills player with 200+ scrimmage yards (221), one or more rushing touchdown and one or more receiving touchdowns in a game since Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas did so back in the 1991 season,” CBS Sports wrote.
“They’re a great defense, so once you get the ball, you can’t hesitate,” Cook said. “You just got to go.”
Head coach Sean McDermott said of the win, “You need to be able to play that way down the stretch because of weather or they’re taking away your fastball. I just believe in that. Just philosophically, holistically, you’ve got to show that you can do that: Be a two-dimensional offense or, in this case, a one-dimensional offense via the run. It just helps the whole football team. It keeps their explosive offense on the sideline. And it’s just a mindset, too.”
