The National Football League got a huge boost in ratings this past weekend when the Conference Championship games kicked off.

After a year in which ratings trended mostly downward, the NFL as well as Fox got a huge boost in confidence when the numbers came in:

The Bucs and Packers generated a rating of 26.5. Milwaukee households drew a 48.1 while Tampa Bay drew a 39.9, making it the most-watched telecast of any kind since the 49ers-Chiefs Super Bowl last season.

According to John Ourand of Sports Business Journal, the AFC Championship drew an 85 share in the Kansas City area:

Kansas City's local TV rating for yesterday's Bills-Chiefs game was a 61.9. Its share was an 85 share. That means that 85% of all TVs in use with the KC DMA were tuned into the Chiefs game. An astounding number.
