That’s a fumble of 12.3% from the Green Bay Packers-Chicago Bears opening game of the 2019-2020 season on September 5, 2019. With racial justice center stage at the beginning of last night’s game, the contest between the reigning Super Bowl champions and the Lone Star state team is up just a touch over the nine-year low of the weather-delayed 2018 season opener in total sets of eyeballs.

Additionally, there were both NBA and NHL playoffs on last night, most noticeably with the Los Angeles Lakers besting the Houston Rockets 110-100 to take a 3-1 lead in their series.
