• The Eagles beat the Chiefs 20-17, with a pivotal fourth-quarter play when a Patrick Mahomes pass deflected off Travis Kelce and was intercepted by Andrew Mukuba.
• Nielsen’s new measurement approach, which incorporates set-top-box and smart-TV data, is credited in coverage for boosting reported totals and has prompted debate about comparisons to prior seasons.
• Executives highlighted that YouTube’s Sept. 5 Chiefs–Chargers game did not use the Big Data + Panel methodology, a contrast that has drawn industry criticism of that audience figure.
