During a recent appearance on the Rich Eisen Show, top CBS play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz shared his thoughts on the Thanksgiving game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys. The CBS Sports broadcast is expected to break regular-season viewership records, potentially.
“K.C. and Dallas, to put those two gigantic brands together on the most-watched day of the regular season in the NFL, it’s gonna set records,” said Nantz. “That’s not what I’m out for it to do. I just hope it’s a great football game. It will be a wonderful matchup to call on Thanksgiving. K.C. at Dallas, it’s the game we wanted.”
The current ratings record was set three seasons ago, as 42.1 million watched Dallas defeat the New York Giants 28-20. The Chiefs have earned a reputation for getting viewers tuned in over their Super Bowl runs, and Thanksgiving this season should set a new standard for the league.
The Cowboys and the Detroit Lions continue their tradition as Thanksgiving staples, while the Chiefs played on Black Friday last season and will continue their streak of Christmas Day games in 2025.
