The Walking Dead Loses To NFL Again In Ratings Race
Despite an episode that failed to resolve a major character issue, the ratings for “The Walking Dead” again failed to defeat the Sunday evening NFL game – this time between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles. “The Walking Dead” only mustered 12.4 million viewers for their fifth episode of Season Six despite nobody knowing the fate of character Glenn Rhee [played by Steven Yeun]. Meanwhile, the Sunday night NFL game between the Cowboys and Eagles was seen by 23 million viewers on NBC.
“The Walking Dead” has yet to defeat an NFL Sunday night game during its sixth season, something it did with regularity last year.
