00:00We look back at Super Bowl 59 in terms of the record viewership that Fox is now projecting

00:07126 million viewers on Sunday night for Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans. That would set a new

00:17viewership record moving past last year's biggest game of the season in Super Bowl 58

00:23between the Chiefs and the 49ers that featured an audience of 123.4 million. 126 million DRS

00:34to watch your birds absolutely blow out the Kansas City Chiefs hold KC back from a three-beat

00:40and win Philadelphia's second Lombardi trophy in franchise history. What that tells you too

00:46for next year is the NFL always takes notes on the teams that are getting ratings which is usually the

00:50Dallas Cowboys but they're not a great football team so the Eagles will appear probably in every

00:53single prime time slot along with the Kansas City Chiefs next year and that's okay because game

00:58number one will be at Lincoln Financial Field on a prime time but I'm actually surprised by that.

01:02It's easy for me to say the can't Eagles everybody wants to watch them but you heard like where the

01:07public can be wrong we talk about like fading the public who did you want to see in the championship

01:11game people like I just don't want to see the Chiefs or oh the Eagles are there I hate the

01:14you know cheer for them would have loved to see in the Buffalo Bills and the Washington Commanders

01:18that's not what the ratings suggest you're getting numbers like this this is exactly what

01:22the NFL wanted they want to see record ratings every year to push that number higher whether

01:27it's game price tickets or whether it's selling packages to Netflix or you know Amazon Prime at

01:32this point whether or not the bidding war for the next Super Bowl gets higher and higher you do

01:36numbers like this it takes the attention away and I thought everybody wanted to see the Bills and

01:41the Commanders apparently everybody wanted to see the Chiefs and the Eagles they just didn't know it

01:46yet.
