On Sunday night, The X-Files returned to television after 13 years, following the NFC Championship game, and it scored a huge touchdown for Fox.

Initial reports had The X-Files premiere pulling in a 6.1 rating and 16.2 million viewers, but now that the live-plus-three day ratings are in the numbers are being revised to a 7.8 rating among adults 18-49 and an average of 20.3 million viewers.

"That makes it broadcast's second-biggest scripted episode of the season, shy of Empire's sophomore premiere," THR reports, "and the highest-rated post-NFL conference championship episode of a scripted series in more than a decade."

It also added 1.1 million viewers on Hulu.
