Ben Roethlisberger’s jaw was no match for the zombie driven show The Walking Dead, which accomplished a feat very few shows have done–beat Sunday Night Football in the ratings.
Numbers never lie, so when the dust settled the verdict was in The Walking Dead had a viewership of 14.5 million and bested the NFL in all important demographics, including the coveted 18-49 ages.
Now what can we blame for the suddenly downslide in the NFL’s primetime ratings–surely the number of primetime blowout games is a huge factor. But it’s time to accept the fact, The Walking Dead is one of the nation’s most beloved show. There’s a ‘walker’ for everyone.
