Chiefs-Jaguars generates 22.3 million viewers Monday night

Jacksonville’s milestone victory drew a large crowd to the Disney networks broadcasting the game.

According to ESPN, the Week 5 Monday night multicast of the Jaguars-Chiefs game generated an audience of 22.5 million, across ESPN, ABC, ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes.

It was the most-watched game of the fifth weekend of the NFL season.

The move from ESPN-only to ESPN/ABC has greatly expanded the Monday night game footprint, which is good for the network(s) and good for the league.

No audience number was mentioned in the press release of the last ManningCast. Two weeks ago, 22.8 million watched Lions-Ravens. Of that amount, only 887,000 people watched the alternative broadcast on ESPN2. This represented less than four percent of the total audience.
