Monday Night Football Ratings 2009: Favre Draws Huge MNF Ratings

The Monday Night Football ratings for the Week 4 Packer vs Vikings game are in and it looks like a pretty big win for ESPN. The network had been promoting Brett Favre's first time playing against his old Green Bay Packers and it seems to have paid off. 

Favre gave ESPN the best MNF ratings they've ever had since they took over the program back in 2006. According to Sports Business Daily, the Favre-Packers MNF game received a 14.2 rating, 65 percent higher than last week's MNF broadcast. In Minneapolis, the game earned a massive rating of 58.3.  In Green Bay, the game got a 49.7 rating. 

 The killer MNF ratings make the Packers-Viking game one of the highest rated programs in cable history.
