Outside of the significant season-to-date viewership, ESPN also introduced two new initiatives this season to immediate success - the Week 2 multi-game option which generated more than 20 million viewers across Disney networks during overlapping game action and the most-streamed event ever on ESPN with its first exclusive game in Week 8.
Furthermore, Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli continues to re-write the records for ESPN alternate telecasts, while multiple ESPN studio shows are seeing multi-year viewership highs thus far in the season.
