Monday Final Nationals: Colts-Jets on ESPN Delivers ‘Monday Night Football’ Record-Low Among Adults 18-49

NBC wrestled the Monday night total-viewer crown away from ESPN with the combo of “The Voice” and “Timeless,” averaging 8.44 million total viewers in prime time.

Indianapolis Colts’ walloping 41-10 Week 13 victory over the New York Jets on ESPN drew the second lowest viewership ever for a “Monday Night Football” game — 8.091 million total viewers, just 44,000 above the all-time “MNF” low of 8.047 million for Falcons-Saints from Sep. 26 which had taken place opposite the first Donald Trump-Hillary Clinton presidential debate. Among adults 18-49, Colts-Jets delivered an all-time “MNF” low of 3.351 million viewers within the demographic.

ESPN still managed to win Monday night among all key male and adult demos.
