The Baltimore Ravens’ 34-31 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, averages 29.9 million viewers on CBS, setting a new record for the most-watched NFL international game. CBS and Nielsen data cited by outlets say the audience peaks at more than 30 million during the late stages, including the final-play sequence that includes a 56-yard field goal by Baltimore’s Tyler Loop.
The reports agree on the game result and the viewing figure, framing it as the highest total for an NFL event held outside the U.S. One outlet notes the broader CBS figures, including a reported average of 24.09 million and a peak above 30 million, while others emphasize the 29.9 million average as the record headline number. The coverage also contrasts the figure with other recent international NFL games and platforms, including a Week 1 matchup in Australia between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams that averaged 18.5 million viewers in the U.S. on Netflix.
