NFL season opener draws 25 million viewers, far ahead of Trump's convention speech
The NFL's Kickoff Game between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots averaged more than 25 million viewers across NBC and Peacock, NBC said. The figure dwarfed the roughly 2.5 million who watched Donald Trump's speech at the first Republican midterm convention, despite Trump claiming his event beat the NFL. The league's first regular-season game in Australia drew 18.5 million US viewers on Netflix.
