For yet another matchup featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills, NFL fans couldn’t wait to watch it, especially with this matchup being at Highmark Stadium and featuring Patrick Mahomes playing the first road playoff game of his career.
The Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills have broken a new record for “NFL on CBS.” Sunday night’s game brought in more than 50 million viewers, breaking the record for the most-watched NFL divisional playoff game in the history of “NFL on CBS.”
According to CBS, the game was the most-watched program on any network since last year’s Super Bowl LVII.
We can credit a close game and Taylor Swift, but either way, the NFL is loving these numbers.

An average of 50.39 million viewers watched the Chiefs’ victory over the Bills, and the broadcast peaked at 56.25 million viewers. The Chiefs’ win peaked with 56.25 million viewers.
