In case you don’t know, that’s a gigantic number for a regular season game.

I would have been a bit surprised if this game didn’t put up huge numbers. It would have been a very bad sign for the league if the numbers weren’t popping.

We’re talking about a game featuring two future hall of fame quarterbacks batting it out for supremacy in the NFC South.

If that doesn’t move the needle, I don’t know what will.

The good news for the NFL is that there were plenty of eyeballs on the action as Drew Brees and company put in major work against Tom Brady.

The game was never even close. The Bucs were absolutely routed in the blowout.
