As I’ve said a bunch this season, Roger Goodell and the NFL are absolutely killing it right now, and you’d have to be insane to disagree.
The 49ers beating the Cowboys averaged 40.16 million viewers on CBS alone this past Sunday. That’s a ridiculous number.
It wasn’t even to go to the Super Bowl. It was just a wild card game.

You can love or hate the NFL all you want, but you can’t deny reality. The reality of the situation is that the games have put up unreal ratings this season.
In fact, across the board, the ratings this season were the highest since 2015. Yeah, I think it’s safe to say things are going very well!
