Those big numbers are a continuation of strong season-long NFL viewership for CBS, which saw its most-watched regular season in six years and its best postseason start in a decade with an average of 35.883 million viewers for its playoff games this season, up 27% versus last year’s postseason viewership through the divisional round.

Sunday’s two games are the most watched programs of the 2021-22 TV season so far (and will likely only be surpassed by the Feb. 13 Super Bowl). The league also had 33 telecasts top 20 million viewers this season. Only one entertainment program, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on NBC, has managed that feat.

No primetime entertainment series telecast has topped 10 million same-day viewers this season. Even with a week of delayed viewing, only four entertainment shows (CBS’ NCIS and FBI, NBC’s Chicago Fire and Paramount Network’s Yellowstone) break the 10 million mark. By comparison, of the 130 NFL telecasts to have aired this season, only eight came in under 10 million viewers — seven of them were exclusive to NFL Network, and the eighth was an early morning broadcast on CBS of one of the league’s two London-based games.
