Jacksonville Jaguars Again Beat Tampa Bay Buccaneers Head to Head in Orlando.
For the second consecutive week, the Jacksonville Jaguars had more viewers in Orlando head to head than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Jaguars’ overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts drew 185,022 viewers on WKMG-CBS compared to the 135,593 viewers the Carolina Panthers-Tampa Bay Buccaneers game garnered on WOFL-Fox. It is worth noting the Buccaneers game was a blowout very early which did not help the numbers and the Jaguars game went into overtime.
The Bucs-Panthers numbers are down from last week’s Bucs-Texans game (140,933) in the same slot while the Jaguars-Colts game numbers are up from last week’s Jaguars blowout loss to New England Patriots (181,162).
This Sunday both the Jaguars and Buccaneers will have the same number of viewers. Why? Because they face each other this Sunday in Tampa on CBS. Here below is the NFL TV schedule in Orlando this week.
