NEW YORK (AP) — The epic football playoff game between Buffalo and Kansas City reached nearly 43 million television viewers on Sunday, the most for any event since last year’s Super Bowl as the NFL struck gold with its rousing weekend.

The four games averaged 38.2 TV and digital viewers, up 20% over last year and the best ever for the league’s divisional round of playoffs, the Nielsen company said on Tuesday.

In the fourth quarter, the Bills-Chiefs game had a 90 audience share in Kansas City — meaning 90% of televisions on at the time were tuned in to the game, Nielsen said. That’s an astonishing figure at a time of audience fragmentation. In Buffalo, the share was 86 at the same time.

When you say "audience", do you mean "membership"? How do you know?

I keep hearing people say they hope for a Rams-49 Super Bowl, but how is that possible given they’re in the same division.

You're right, it isn't possible.

In this thread…people who run to an NFL thread, brag about not watching the game, and try to make those who did watch the game feel like morons.

Get over yourselves. Feel free to not watch the game. But, we don’t come to your…well, whatever it is you guys do for fun, and pee in the wine glass.

Just stay away if you have nothing to add. We get it..football bad.
