Eagles' Win vs. Chiefs in Super Bowl Rematch Sets Fox Record with 33.8M Viewers

The Philadelphia Eagles' 20-17 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday contained a record-setting audience.

Fox Sports announced Tuesday that the Super Bowl LIX rematch amassed 33.8 million viewers, representing the network's best Sunday telecast for the regular season as well as the NFL's most-watched Week 2 telecast on record.

The matchup between the Chiefs and Eagles was also the most-watched game in the month of September in NFL history, according to Dan Shanoff of The Athletic.

Philadelphia's victory over Kansas City was far from easy, with neither team holding a two-score lead until the fourth quarter.

As the Chiefs trailed by three points and were on the verge of a potential go-ahead touchdown early in the quarter, a pass from Patrick Mahomes bounced off the hands of Travis Kelce and fell into the arms of Eagles safety Andrew Mukuba for an interception.

The Eagles capitalized off the turnover by finding the end zone on their ensuing drive, taking a 10-point lead.

While Kansas City cut the deficit to three points once again with a touchdown pass from Mahomes to Tyquan Thornton later in the quarter, Philadelphia eventually ran out the clock to seal the victory.
