Kansas City's 27-20 victory over Baltimore was the highest-rated NFL Kickoff game since 2002, attracting 28.9 million viewers, a significant increase from previous years.
The game was considerably popular despite its start being delayed by 20 minutes due to severe weather, peaking at 33 million viewers during the second quarter.
It reached a 37 share on NBC, marking the highest share for any regular-season game on the network since it began airing NFL games in 2006.
Streaming numbers also contributed to the audience figures, with an average of 4.6 million viewers streaming via Peacock, NBC, and NFL digital platforms.
