The Chiefs-Bills thriller on Sunday marked the most-watched AFC Championship game on record, as CBS drew 57.7 million viewers for the showdown, per Nielsen data. That tops the prior record of 55.5 million set last year by Chiefs-Ravens. The last Chiefs-Bills matchup in the AFC title game, also in primetime on CBS in 2021, drew 41.8 million (the COVID season, where audience numbers saw a direct impact from that). Chiefs-Bills this year is also the best for any NFC or AFC title game since 57.6 million for Giants-49ers in primetime on Fox in 2012. Chiefs-Bills is slightly better than the 56.7 million for 49ers-Lions in primetime on Fox last year.

Earlier on Sunday, the Eagles’ 55-23 throttling of the Commanders on Fox drew 44.2 million viewers, marking the least-watched NFC title game since Rams-Saints drew 44.1 million in 2019 (before Nielsen was adding out-of-home metrics). Eagles-Commanders is well below the Chiefs-Ravens afternoon AFC title game last year.

I watched it. The Mahomes vs. Allen rivalry continues to be awesome. Just wish Allen would win it when it counts!
