“LOL more fake news.”

Depends how they reported it. People in attendance is clearly below that but most of the time the announcement is PAID ATTENDANCE, based on ticket sales. With many home games, if the game isn’t sold out by Thursday the home local broadcaster will by the remaining tickets so the game won’t be blacked out in the local viewing area. Miami’s been doing that for a long time.

But this was an NFL Network broadcast so the 70,000 is probably inclusive of ticket sales, including season ticket holders that didn’t show up, corporate sales where the seat isn’t occupied, etc.

Not saying the attendance isn’t worrisome because it is, just pointing out that the people in the stands rarely equals tickets sold except where the team really is playing to packed seats.

And in a way it is a shame because it was a heck of a fun game to watch.
