The Chiefs beating the Bills put up monster ratings on CBS, and the Bucs earning a huge win also did insanely well.
Clearly, America is tuned in and ready for some playoff action. Given the star power attached to the teams playing this past Sunday, it’s not hard to see why so many people watched.
It would have shocked me if the numbers weren’t huge.
