That was proven true again on Sunday evening, as not only was the Cowboys’ last-second divisional round loss to the Green Bay Packers the highest-rated game of the four NFL playoff games this weekend, it was the highest-rated divisional round game on any network in 20 years.
Per Fox Sports the Green Bay Packers down-to-the-wire win over the Dallas Cowboys averaged a 28.2/48 overnight rating/share. That just means on average 28.2% of the households in the 56 metered markets were tuned-in to the game and on average 48% of the people watching TV in those markets at the time were watching the game.
Even more impressive: Cowboys-Packers drew more eyes than Game 7 of the World Series in November, when the Chicago Cubs broke their 108-year championship streak. That game, with the Cubs beating the Cleveland Indians, drew a 25.2 rating.

UPDATE: The final numbers are out and they are truly amazing. First, the Packers-Cowboys game drew the best viewership for a television program since Super Bowl 50 last February. From Fox’s Mike Mulvihill, the averaged a huge viewership peaking over 60 million: Follow Michael Mulvihill @mulvihill79 Packers-Cowboys averaged 48.5 million viewers and peaked at 62.4 million.

Buuuut football is dying
Seriously, it isn't hard to figure out. Two popular teams played a damn good game and people watched.
The NFL's issue this year was about quality, last weekend showed there were just a lot of bad football teams this season.

Texas always brings it.
They are one of the true national draws in both pro and college.
This GB/Cowboys game was the Pro version of Notre Dame at Texas - which was just a regular season game.
The top 10 most watched games in CFB history involve:
Miami - 3 times
Texas - twice
USC - twice
Ohio State - twice
Notre Dame - twice
And earlier this year...
Cowboys win vs. Washington was most-watched NFL regular season game ever on FOX.

Overall ratings for the divisional games was down 3%
Posted on 1/16/17 at 3:27 pm to RLDSC FAN
I think next year will be a better test for ratings. Trump changed all ratings.

Not surprised at this. These teams have large national followings.

There were a lot of down right atrocious football teams this year, you're a 9ers fan you know this.
The Rams, Browns, 49ers, Jags, Texans (don't care if they made the playoffs, watching Osweiler play QB was offensive), Jets, Bear....just off the top of my head were basically unwatchable teams.
I'll throw the Vikings in there too, they were awful to watch as welll.
