These are some great numbers for NBC and the NFL. Even without Russell Wilson playing in the game, more than 13 million people watched in the early data.

There’s no doubt at all that number will be a big smile on Goodell’s face.

You know the NFL is crushing the game when the most famous and marketable guy on either squad is out, but people still tune in to watch.

The Steelers and Seahawks are both national brands and both have huge fan bases. Clearly, the fact the game averaged 13.2 million viewers on NBC, people were hyped up for the game, which ended with the Steelers notching a win.
