The Week 6 NFL game between the Philadephia Eagles and the New York Jets garnered huge television ratings.
Front Office Sports is reporting that it was the most-watched television event on any network since the Super Bowl with an average of 26 million viewers.
There are several reasons for this.
To begin with, both New York and Philadelphia are large (highly populated) television markets, and FOX advertised and aired this game as the “Game of the Week.”
The Eagles were the last undefeated team in the NFL after San Francisco suffered its first loss in the early game against Cleveland.
And there was an amazing streak on the line.
The Jets were 0-12 against the Eagles; they never beat them prior to Sunday.

With these numbers, we cannot help but wonder what the ratings would have been if Aaron Rodgers was the quarterback dueling with the Eagles QB Jalen Hurts.
