Football ruled on Thursday’s primetime television with the three-hour block of ABC’s NFL Draft 2020 coverage grabbing the top spot in both 18-49 demographic and total viewers.

The series finale of Will & Grace‘s three-season revival run couldn’t beat a rerun of CBS’s Mom (4.9 million viewers) but still managed to hit the sitcom’s highest total viewership since the November 1, 2018 episode (3.45 million).
