Jaguars–Texans Averages 6.4 Million Viewers on NFL Network and NFL+
The network’s three London games averaged 6.9 million, according to its new report.
The Houston Texans’ October 18 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars averaged 6.4 million viewers on NFL Network and NFL+, according to ESPN’s report Wednesday. The audience includes over-the-air viewing and uses Nielsen Big Data + Panel.
Through its three London games this season, NFL Network averaged 6.9 million viewers. That package average is separate from the figure for Sunday’s game at Wembley Stadium; the two should not be added together.
The release says Jaguars–Texans was 7% above last season’s six-game NFL International Series average on the network. The three-game London average was up 15% against that same six-game baseline. Neither percentage compares Sunday’s game with the same matchup last year, and the package comparison covers different numbers of games.
Houston won 34–31 on Ka’imi Fairbairn’s last-second field goal. NFL Network’s international coverage continues Sunday, October 25, with Pittsburgh against New Orleans in Paris. The new London report supplies viewing averages, rather than a count of unique people who watched across all three games.
