Washington's comeback against the Giants gave the NFL channel plenty to work with: a touchdown before halftime, a lead taken with less than a minute remaining, and a separate upload devoted to the ending. Alongside that football drama, the channel added roughly 100,000 subscribers in a day.
That is an unusually large subscriber jump for the league's official channel, even though its overall daily views were below their typical level. This was not a case of everything rising together.
The full Washington-New York highlights reached about 2.4 million views in their opening day, far beyond the channel's usual start for regular videos. The shorter ending package also drew substantially more views than a typical regular upload. Washington's comeback win then became a talking point on the channel's next edition of The NFL Report.
There was room for something lighter, too. A Jameis humor Short was running far above the usual pace for the NFL's Shorts. Those uploads coincided with the subscriber jump, though that does not establish which videos brought people aboard.
