NFL Monday Night Football Scores ESPN's Highest Rating of 2007

- MNF: #1 Among All Networks In Prime Time
- ESPN.com NFL Content: 53 Million Page Views, Up 25% From 2006

September 19, 2007 -- Monday night’s Washington Redskins – Philadelphia Eagles game on ESPN’s Monday Night Football earned a 9.1 rating, ESPN’s best of 2007, boosting ESPN to the top spot among all television networks – broadcast or cable – in prime time. In addition, traffic to ESPN.com’s NFL content showed strong growth over last year’s debut season of MNF.

The 20-12 road victory by Washington was seen in average of 8,735,000 homes, the second most in cable television for the year, and averaged 11,633,000 viewers (P2+). Including last week’s special MNF opening night doubleheader, ESPN’s three NFL games account for the second-, third-, and fifth-most-watched shows on cable in 2007 (Disney Channel’s High School Musical 2 is No. 1 with 9.4 million HHs).

From the kickoff of ESPN’s NFL studio programming at 4 p.m. through the conclusion of the game, ESPN delivered 17.5 gross household coverage ratings for its MNF coverage.
