That Week 2 Thursday night game between the Lions and the Bills? Prime Video just announced a staggering 18.6 million people tuned in!

Buffalo Stomped, Viewership Soared

Buffalo jumped out to a 21-0 lead, eventually clinching a 41-31 win. This 18.6 million viewership number is a five-percent bump over the 2025 Thursday night opener, which was the Commanders-Packers game. Even wilder, it’s a massive 21-percent increase over last year’s full-season average of 15.33 million.

Streaming’s Taking Over

It’s the fifth season of Thursday Night Football on Prime Video, and the numbers are climbing steadily. It’s clear why: more and more people are pivoting to paid streaming platforms. Will this week see another big number? The Falcons, fresh off an ugly loss to the Panthers, face the Packers at Lambeau Field. It’s Green Bay’s home opener and the first of three straight prime-time games for Atlanta.
