NEW YORK (AP) — The New England Patriots’ pursuit of an undefeated season continues to draw viewers.
Their dramatic comeback win over the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night attracted the largest audience ever for a cable program. The game on ESPN averaged more than 12.5 million homes and 17.5 million viewers.
The previous highs were 11.8 million households for last year’s Giants-Cowboys “Monday Night Football” game and 17.2 million viewers for Disney Channel’s “High School Musical 2″ movie in August.
So 12.5 million people saw the Ravens act like babies. Cool?

Did u notice Daniel Wilcox 2nd foot was out of bounds when he scored in the 4th qtr vs the Pats??? Why didn’t anyone bring this up or speak of it? If they have, I’d like to know…but there was no review, not even a slo-mo replay of the TD….BTW, I am neither a Raven nor Pats fan…actually, I’m an Eagles fan in Oklahoma! It is interesting to note w/ all the griping of unfair refs in the game, that the refs seemed to side w/ the Ravens on Wilcox’s ‘out of bounds’ TD.
