To make matters more interesting, THR reported that the Bengals beating the Chiefs averaged 47.85 million viewers on CBS.

As I’ve said far too many times to count, the NFL gets big ratings. That’s the reality of the situation, and you’re lying to yourself at this point if you think business isn’t booming for the league.

It was the most-watched NFC title game in eight years and the most-watched AFC title game in three seasons.

No matter how you look at it, the NFL is crushing life right now. Americans love football. It’s truly that simple.

With the Super Bowl less than two weeks away, I can’t wait to see what kind of ratings we get Feb. 13. I have a feeling the numbers will be huge!
