Ratings: Chiefs/Bills Divisional Nail-Biter Draws Nearly 40 Million Viewers
TV Line ^ | January 22, 2024 | BY MATT WEBB MITOVICH

Taylor Swift, Jerrod Carmichael, Cara Delevingne and a shirtless Jason Kelce were in good company on Sunday.

CBS‘ broadcast of the NFL Divisional Playoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills averaged 39.3 million total viewers from 7 to 10 pm ET on Sunday evening.

The very close contest, which the Chiefs wound up winning by a score of 27-24, also averaged a 9.9 rating in the coveted 18-49 demographic.

The total Chiefs/Bills audience cited above marks a 14% gain in viewership versus the comparable year-ago match-up between the Cowboys and 49ers (San Francisco bested Dallas 19-12), and a 9% increase in the demo.

Taylor Swift is helping the ratings?

Good game, but having it end with another wide right - I feel for Bills fans. Josh Allen may just have to go through his career facing the fact that while he may be close to the best at his position in the AFC, he will keep running into Pat Mahomes - the absolute best at his position in the league - every year in the playoffs.

I remember when they were doing the kneeling and some here were claiming the NFL was going to go broke. LOL. Bread and Circuses. People will put up with anything so long as they have their precious football games to watch.

Jason kelce upstaged her. He might be one of the few that could jump down among fans screaming for the Chiefs and not get belted by snowballs. Mahomes was trying to give a fan something and Bills Mafia pelted him.

Next Sunday’s games will be non-competitive, but when the Ravens finally play the Niners, that will be worth watching from a sports perspective.

Hold the line for a week. I don't think KC will get past the Ravens. But, who knows what the NFL and the refs have planned.

No TV product even comes close to matching the NFL in viewership and revenue.

Yep, I’m so glad I don’t need that rubbish in my life.

I am in the minority—but my boycott of the National Felon League remains in place.

I like who is looking back at me in the mirror.
