The Tampa Bay Buccaneers-New Orleans Saints game Sunday that featured Tom Brady against Drew Brees delivered big time .. for FOX Sports.
The network released the ratings and they were through the roof.
The Saints-Bucs drew a 16.2/35 overnight rating, which was Fox’s highest such rating for a Week 1 game since 2016. Fox Sports PR projects that the game is on pace to become the most-watched event of any kind since the Super Bowl, eclipsing Thursday night’s Chiefs-Texans game.
The star-studded showdown between Brady's @Buccaneers and Brees' @Saints led America's Game of the Week to a strong start. 🦾 pic.twitter.com/q6NM6youjN
