People want to watch this team. A lot of them. Not bad for a team that has seen Fox's top broadcast team a total of one time this year.

How far we've come since 2005...

But...but....how can that be? Everyone wants to see The Cowboys!

Do you really think it was just because of the Saints? Two powerhouse NFC teams and the game wasn't decided until the end was the reason for the high ratings. And last year it was because of two powerhouse teams.

Look at recent record setting rankings and you will find one constant thing, the Saints are one of the teams.

The Saints garner monster ratings every game they are primetime.

The common denominator? The Saints are playing in the game.

Saints are fun to watch and the numbers always prove it.

That's part of it - it just isn't that it's the Saints. But it is that it's the powerhouse Saints. Other powerhouses don't have the same pull. People like the Saints but more importantly, they like watching the Saints play football. They enjoy watching Brees run the Saints offense with all of those skill players. And there's something attractive about the Saints that the other powerhouses don't have, apart from maybe the Patriots.

I live in another market and people regularly tell me that they really enjoy watching the Saints.

Brees is ridiculously fun to watch.

 

[saints15]

Bottom line - the saints play a brand of football people like. They take risks on both sides of the ball - and they have fun!

Stress us fans out at times (i.e. last night) but it is fun to watch!

This is what I was waiting to see. I knew this game would KILL in the ratings.

 

[FrenchieATX]

Makes me proud. We KNOW there isn't national interest in the Falcons!

 

[TheGooch]

I called this on another thread last week...we break records every time we are on the big stage...face it, America loves the Saints

I'm confused. Is this of all cable TV or just MNF? Like is the Super Bowl included?

All cable tv. The super bowl was the most watched program in tv history also.
